Patriots Uniforms

Like the Color Rush we are currently wearing? Think the Navy Blues are the best? Pining for the old Red Jersey? Secretly admire the 1990's royal blues?

so here they are, a visual guide



updated 03/22... added a colorized away jersey for 1960, replaced the '69 b/w home jersey with a color photo

the 2010's



the 2020's

1980s early 90s with shoulder stripes were the best though I prefer the all whites to the red away pants

I like the Navy Blue 2000s ... The road white from that era is probably one of the best looking jerseys of all time. Clean lines, solid color scheme with the red piping around the numbers...

For the reds, I like the white top / red pant version... Looks good together... The all whites looked dingy to me... The sullivan's must have been scrimping on the bleach...

Their uniforms have been ugly since 2000.

90’s was the best. There was no reason to change those.

Been a Patriots fan since the early 70's. That being said this one is my fav...

That must be a preseason game because they never wore white pants with that jersey in regular season games. The colors pop on those uniforms.

The home and away from 84-92 are my favorite of the Pat Patriot Era. The home and away with alternate silvers 2003-07 are my favorite of the Championship Era. I would love to combine the two looks. Gimme 84-92 with Elvis and a silver helmet, and a silver/blue alternate. Sorry @Actual Pats Fan.

It's a great looking uni. Not a fan of the New England Texans uni....especially the ridiculous shoulder stripes.

Good stripes...


Bad stripes...

To be fair, Texans ripped off the Pats with that look.

I think the best combo would be: 1994-1999 Flying Elvii shoulder logos....but red uniform....blue pants...and classic pat patriot white helmets...

Just my 2 cents....

I will check on that when I get the chance

I know the 96 away uniform shown is from the preseason because tedy is wearing 45

The only real design flaw of that particular uniform is the oversized flying elvii on the shoulders

@TheRainMaker
January 3, 1999 AFC Wildcard Game, vs Jacksonville Jaguars

edit: in the playoffs ... regular season, they had gray/silver pants ... nice catch

will have to edit the original pic to show the regular season version as well

I really like the Pats uniform history overall. The reds are beautiful, the 90s blues were a fun look, and the 00s dynasty look was sharp. The current uniform is the most boring of all of our looks, but still not bad. It's hard for me to pick an absolute favorite but I'd probably go with the 80s/early 90s red uniforms because they are just so nice. I do like the current logo better than Pat Patriot though (don't kill me).

I’ve always thought the gray stripes were pointless. But the placement of the new stripes are even worse.
