NFL announces new Nike rivalry uniforms are coming, but Saints fans will have to wait
NFL announces new Nike rivalry uniforms are coming, but Saints fans will have to wait You may have missed it during all the commotion of the 2025 draft, but the NFL made an important announcement amid the proceedings. Starting this season, teams will debut a new uniform combination as part of what the league is calling the "NFL x Nike Rivalries Program." But there's a catch, at least for New Orleans Saints fans excited about adding a new look to their wardrobe. This is a planned four-year rollout with just two divisions participating in 2025. This year, only the NFC West and AFC East teams will get new uniforms, with two more divisions added each season until all 32 teams are participating by 2028. Here are the teams that will be getting new "rivalry" uniforms in 2025: So Saints fans may have to wait a year, or two, or three to see what Nike cooks up. Here's how the NFL described the initiative in a release: Each participating team will wear a unique Rivalries uniform with designs rooted extensively in local community insights during a single home game against a division rival. The designs have been brought to life by pulling inspiration from the history of each market and the aspects of the community that only that team's city embodies. That sounds a lot like MLB's City Connect jerseys and the NBA's City Edition uniforms, but these will only be worn in matchups with division rivals. So what will the Saints' new uniforms look like? Their white-and-gold "Color Rush" jerseys remain wildly popular (even if the black helmets they've been paired with were a misfire), and the throwback uniforms are always a good sight, too. But from the sounds of it, Nike may be pulling more from New Orleans' unique culture than the Saints' tradition black and gold. Maybe something more akin to the Pelicans' bold purple and green "Skelican" City Edition jerseys is in the works. We'll have to wait at least a year to see the results but it's a safe bet that these new kits will be hotly anticipated.
