NFL's new 'Rivalries' uniforms are here for NFC North and AFC South: Eight teams just got a new look for 2026

Key Points:

• The NFL's "Rivalries" uniform program, launched last year, features eight teams each season unveiling new helmets and uniforms inspired by local themes, with the teams wearing these uniforms for one game per season.
• In 2026, all teams in the NFC North and AFC South released their Rivalries uniforms, including notable designs like the Chicago Bears' orange numbers on blue, the Packers' stock certificate-inspired vintage green, and the Jaguars' first-ever teal helmet.
• The Colts will debut their Rivalries uniform first in Week 3 against the Texans, and the full schedule includes matchups where only the home team wears the Rivalries uniform, with all eight teams wearing them once this season.
• The program runs through 2028, with all 32 NFL teams set to unveil Rivalries uniforms by then, following a division-by-division rollout starting with the AFC East and NFC West in 2025.
• Teams are allowed to keep their Rivalries uniforms in rotation for up to three years, and the initiative has been well-received as a creative way to celebrate local team identities and histories.
