Early Look at 2026 NFL Uniform Changes: Ravens, Commanders & More!

With the 2025 season still underway, early details about NFL uniform changes for 2026 are already surfacing. According to tracking compiled by Zach Cohen as of December 11, several teams are either confirmed or strongly rumored to be unveiling new looks, alternates, or expanded throwback programs next season. While nothing is final until teams make official announcements, the picture is starting to take shape.

Several franchises are expected to introduce full uniform updates. Washington is rumored to expand its white “Super Bowl Era” throwbacks into a permanent rotation, pairing them with burgundy jerseys. Tennessee is believed to be moving closer to its Oilers roots in overall design, continuing a steady shift toward a more traditional look. Baltimore and Atlanta are both on the list as well, with the Falcons expected to lean heavily into throwback inspired designs. The Rams are widely expected to mirror elements of their Rivalries template, signaling another evolution of their current identity.

There is also room for at least one more team to join the list, as one uniform change slot remains unconfirmed.

Beyond full redesigns, alternate uniforms are also part of the discussion. Tampa Bay is expected to add an additional alternate set, though it is still unclear whether it will be a brand new design or a throwback. Another alternate slot remains open league wide.

The NFL’s Rivalries program will continue to expand in 2026, with full alternate sets expected for AFC South and NFC North teams. In the AFC South, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Houston, and Tennessee are all involved, with the Titans already confirmed to wear a navy Rivalries uniform. In the NFC North, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, and Minnesota are slated for full Rivalries alternates, with Green Bay’s vintage green look already drawing attention.

Not every team is expected to participate in uniform changes. Miami is currently projected to make no changes at all in 2026, aside from the possibility of existing throwbacks, which technically do not count as new uniforms under league rules.

As always with early uniform tracking, timelines can shift and designs can change before anything is officially revealed. Still, the growing list suggests 2026 could be another big year for NFL aesthetics, blending nostalgia, modern updates, and rivalry driven designs across the league.
