  • Several NFL teams are getting new uniforms and helmets this season.

  • Among the changes are new uniforms for the Cards, a new Panthers blue, and a new Lions helmet.

  • We will also see several popular throwback uniforms this season, including the Bucs' old orange.

We are still three months from the new NFL season, but we already know that some teams are going to look different.

At least 11 teams will either get new uniforms, bring back fan-favorite throwbacks, or introduce a new helmet or logo.

Below we have collected the changes that have already been confirmed and a few rumors that are still being floated by strong sources.

The Lions have a new blue helmet.

It includes a new blue color and an old logo.

The new helmet will only be worn with the Lions' alternate grey uniforms.

According to the Detroit Free-Press, the Lions will have new uniforms, but they won't be introduced until 2024. The Free-Press noted that redesigning uniforms is a two-year process, something we have seen with other teams.

There are no details yet, but we know they will not change their colors.

"We're not going to the Portsmouth colors," Rod Wood wrote. "It'll still be within the blues and the greys. I think it's too early to say exactly, but I would describe it at least initially as probably being more change than the last time we did it, 'cause I think those were more subtle changes."

The Portsmouth Spartans wore purple and gold before moving to Detroit and becoming the Lions.

The Arizona Cardinals have overhauled their uniforms with a simple look.

The team made the announcement earlier this offseason.

Silver is a new accent color.

It might not be obvious, but there is now a silver outline on the numbers. Also, the decals on the helmets are slightly larger.

The Cardinals already added a black alternate helmet last season.

When the NFL lifted their one-helmet rule, the Cardinals were one of several teams who added a black alternate helmet in 2022.

The Carolina Panthers introduced some tweaks to their uniform.

The most significant difference is the blue is a little darker. Nike could not produce the correct version of "process blue" until now.

"This is not a redesign, this is a color correction to bring our uniforms more in line with our true color," the Panthers told SportsLogos.net. "When Nike took us on in 2012, they chose the color in their color book that was closest to our blue. They now have a better color match."

The other noticeable difference is the shape of the black shoulder stripes, which are now pointed and no longer go around the entire sleeve.

 

Here is what the uniform looked like in recent years.

A lot of fans think the Chargers have been hinting at the return of their navy blue helmet for this season.

According to Bolt Beat, there have been several not-so-subtle nods to adding a second helmet this season.

The Tennessee Titans will wear Houston Oiler throwback uniforms for one game this season.

This was first reported by Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com (via Uni-Watch.com) with speculation that they could be worn against the new Houston team, the Texans.

"As for the Oilers throwbacks, nothing has changed from what I've said previously," Wyatt wrote. "The plan is to wear them for a home game in 2023. The exact game is still TBD, but I've already said I suspect it will be for the game vs the Texans. Wouldn't that make the most sense?"

The Titans seemingly confirmed this with a recent video showing a helmet being dipped in oil and the announcement that they would be unveiled this summer.

 

The Philadelphia Eagles announced they will bring back their Kelly green uniforms as an alternate this season.

The new jerseys have already leaked. According to Uni-Watch, the new uniforms will be based on the set worn during the Randall Cunningham era from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have also announced they will be bringing back the popular "Bucco Bruce" and their creamsicle uniforms, but they might look different.

The orange will be worn on October 15 against the Detroit Lions.

However, according to Lavonte David, who wore the throwback orange uniforms in 2012, this year's version will be different.

"I love it. I love it," David told Bucs Wire. "I got a little glimpse of them. They're not like the ones I wore in 2012 at all… You should be in for a surprise. They're really nice and I definitely like the way they look."

The Seattle Seahawks are also bringing back their old uniforms for a Week 8 matchup against the Browns.

Andrew Lind of SportsLogos.net also reported that we will see at least three other alternate or throwback helmets this season for the Browns, Broncos, and Colts, although we don't know what they will look like.

Paul Lukas of UniWatch also reported that he has heard of at least one more team with a throwback uniform this season, although he did not name the franchise.

Like the Lions, the Texans have new uniforms coming — though not yet.

The Texans are working on getting approval from the NFL for new uniforms, according to Texas Sports Nation. Presumably, this is an early part of the two-year process we saw with the Lions and with other teams in recent years, so it's unclear if we can expect the new uni-set in 2024 or 2025.

Finally, the Browns have a new dog logo.

The logo was chosen from a fan contest run by the team.

 

There are a lot of hidden details in the new logo, including the shape of Ohio, an outline of a local bridge, a guitar pick, and a football.

While the Browns do not use a logo on their helmet, they did use their elf logo at midfield last year.

Maybe we will see the dog logo on the field this season.
