The Texas Football team has made some subtle changes to their uniform for the upcoming season. The team has removed the longhorns logo from the center v of the neck of the jersey, leaving just the Nike Swoosh and Big 12 logo on the front with Texas across the chest. The secondary numbers that appear on the tops of the sleeves of the jerseys have been removed as well. This jersey looks more like the throwback uniforms we have seen the team wear in recent years.
The Toledo football team had revealed a new blue uniform for the upcoming season. The new look features an all navy uniform set with the navy jersey featuring white numbers outlined in gold, compared to years past of just gold numbers. The shoulder will feature the players numbers in the same white and gold layout. The jersey is finished off with gold trim capping off the sleeves and paired with navy helmet and pants.
The New England Patriots are bringing back their throwback uniform. The return of the retro look was made possible with the change in the one helmet shell rule that the NFL has done away with. The Patriots can now wear white helmets that go with the red jerseys and white pants. The old school Patriot Pat logo will appear on both sides of the white helmet.
"There was a sort of understanding here that, no, we're not going to wear the silver helmets with the red throwbacks, right? That would be a different alternate uniform. We wanted to stay pure to that original throwback, and so that's why we waited and kept lobbying the league to change it back. We fought the good fight." -Ali Towle, Vice President of Customer Marketing

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have a new alternate look in their uniform rotation. The third uniform option features an alternate brand with the return of the iconic H logo from the early 1900s. The steel grey color of the jersey and pants is a nod to the Hamilton industrial roots. A special hammer pattern is found on the collar of the jersey and the center stripe of the helmet. Across the chest of the jersey we see ‘The Hammer’ in place of Tiger-Cats. The Hammer H logo is displayed on both shoulders of the jersey. With the finishing touch coming on the inside of the collar with MADE IN HAMILTON stitched in gold, meant to signify the players always have Hamilton on their backs.
“Our franchise has a rich and storied history in the city and we’ve been proud to call Hamilton home for 153 years.
