NC State has revealed a new uniform that blends tradition, local pride, and modern design in a way that perfectly represents the Wolfpack and their hometown of Raleigh, the City of Oaks.
The defining feature of the uniform is the script "NC State" showcased on both the helmet and the front of the jersey. The inspiration comes from an old neon sign once found downtown, welcoming all to Raleigh. Just as NC State and the city have grown together since 1887, this script pays homage to that shared history.
Look closely at the jersey fabric and you’ll find a subtle pattern inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical design rooted in nature. Much like the acorn’s cap, where this sequence is famously visible, the detail reflects how art, science, architecture, and innovation thrive throughout Raleigh, making the city a true hub of culture and progress.
No symbol is more closely tied to Raleigh than the acorn. Known as the City of Oaks, the acorn is featured proudly on the front of the jersey and helmet. It’s a nod to a beloved local tradition, where every New Year’s Eve thousands gather downtown to watch the giant acorn drop at midnight.
And of course, no NC State uniform is complete without Wolfpack Red — bold, fierce, and instantly recognizable. As the school fight song reminds us: “We’re the red and white from State, and we know we are the best…”
With these thoughtful design touches, the “Script Pack” uniform is more than just a look; it’s a celebration of Raleigh, its history, and the Wolfpack’s connection to the city they proudly represent.
Texas Tech football is honoring a century of tradition in 2025 with a special throwback uniform celebrating the program’s 100th anniversary. The look not only nods to the Red Raiders’ historic past but also highlights key milestones in uniform design that shaped the team’s identity over the decades.
The program’s first football team took the field in 1925, when the “Tech” wordmark first appeared on the team’s uniform. Just a year later, in 1926, the now-iconic Double T made its debut, establishing a logo that would become one of the most recognizable marks in college sports.
By 1930, Texas Tech was already pushing the boundaries of uniform design by incorporating the Double T into traction stripes, a cutting-edge look for its time.
In 1935, the program introduced jersey numbers to the front of the uniform for the first time, bringing both functionality and identity to the design. Fast forward to the mid-1960s, when stripes inspired by the Masked Rider and the horse’s breast collar were added to the uniforms in 1965, further cementing a connection to Tech’s most famous tradition. Just a few years later, in 1969, helmet stars were introduced as awards, giving players a chance to showcase their individual achievements while adding another memorable layer of style.
Each detail in the 2025 throwback uniform is a nod to these defining eras, from the early wordmarks to the stripes and symbols that became staples of Texas Tech’s identity. By weaving in elements from across decades, the Red Raiders’ centennial look is a visual timeline of 100 years of grit, innovation, and football in Lubbock.
As the Red Raiders take the field in their anniversary throwbacks, the uniforms will stand as more than just a jersey; they’re a tribute to the players, coaches, and fans who built Texas Tech football into what it is today.
The shine is back in Waco. Baylor football is officially bringing chrome helmets back to the field for the first time since 2017, adding a bold and modern twist to its 2025 uniform lineup.
The Bears first introduced chrome lids in 2013 during one of the program’s most successful stretches in history, wearing them through the 2017 season. That era included back-to-back Big 12 championships, four straight bowl appearances, and some of the most explosive offenses college football has ever seen.
Deputy Athletics Director and COO Jovan Overshown explained that the return has been in the works for years.
“This helmet has been a secret passion project for a couple of years now. We wanted the perfect look and perfect moment — one that nods to the storied success of those who wore the chrome before us, while giving it a modern, refined edge that captures the energy and expectation of today and the future.”
The chrome helmet made its Baylor debut on October 5, 2013, in a 73–42 blowout win over West Virginia. Over the next four years, the helmet became a signature look, worn in nine games — including the unforgettable 61–58 win over TCU and the 38–27 Big 12–clinching victory against Kansas State in 2014. The final appearance of the original chrome came on November 11, 2017, against Texas Tech.
Those years are remembered not just for championships, but also for an offense that lit up the scoreboard. During Baylor’s 2013–2014 title run, the Bears wore chrome six times, piling up 167 touchdowns, 1,259 points, and more than 15,000 yards of total offense.
The 2025 reveal featured none other than Baylor legend and 2025 Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Bryce Petty.
“Look good, feel good, play good,” Petty said. “If you can’t feel good in that thing, then I don’t know what you can feel good in. We’re going to play fast, and we’re going to win a lot in these things.
For Petty, who quarterbacked those high-flying Baylor offenses, the helmet represents more than just style — it’s a symbol of Baylor football’s energy and swagger returning to the spotlight.
Head coach Dave Aranda echoed the sentiment:
“It’s really cool to be part of bringing something back that carries so much meaning and reflects such an energized period in Baylor football. Seeing our student-athletes’ excitement, former players and our fans, it further fuels everything we’re about.”
After nearly eight seasons away, Baylor’s chrome helmets are back brighter, bolder, and ready to bring a new shine to the Bears’ future.
The Air Force football team is set to take the field in a powerful tribute for the 2025 edition of the Air Power Legacy Series, honoring the legendary F-16 Fighting Falcon. The Falcons will debut the special look when they face Navy on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Noon ET inside Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The rivalry matchup will be broadcast nationally on CBS, giving fans everywhere a front-row seat to one of the most striking uniform reveals of the season.
The uniform’s most eye-catching element is the custom helmet, designed to replicate a fighter pilot’s gear.
Front bumper: A silhouette of the F-16.
Visor cover: Features the F-16 Fighting Falcon patch alongside the word “Psycho” — the call sign of Col. William Andrews, an F-16 hero who was shot down in Operation Desert Storm.
Back bumper: Reads “Viper”, the aircraft’s widely used nickname.
The pants carry the U.S. Air Force roundel on the hip, with “Viper” running down one leg and “Fighting Falcon” down the other.
The jersey front displays Air Force above the player’s number, along with the corresponding squadron patch. The sleeves feature both the American flag and the squadron’s insignia. On the back, players will sport the tail flash of their respective fighter squadron.
This year’s design honors multiple units, including:
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft known for its unmatched maneuverability, proven combat record, and versatility in both air-to-air and air-to-surface missions. Capable of withstanding up to nine G’s, this lightweight yet powerful jet can deliver weapons with pinpoint accuracy, defend against enemy aircraft, and operate in all weather conditions.
Its bubble canopy offers pilots unmatched visibility, while a 30-degree seat-back angle enhances comfort and G-force tolerance. The aircraft’s fly-by-wire system, side stick controller, and advanced avionics make it one of the most reliable and efficient fighters in the world — a perfect symbol of speed, precision, and resilience for the Air Force football program.
The Air Power Legacy Series has become a tradition of honoring U.S. Air Force history through football uniforms, blending aviation heritage with game-day pageantry. The 2025 edition may be one of the boldest yet, paying tribute to an aircraft that has defined aerial dominance for decades.

The Green Bay Packers are taking fans on a journey through time with their latest throwback uniform reveal—honoring the team’s 1923 look in a bold and beautiful way.
Set to debut during the 2025 NFL season, these throwback uniforms pay tribute to one of the earliest eras of Packers football, right after the team joined what is now known as the NFL in 1921. With a design steeped in tradition and historical accuracy, the uniforms are a salute to the grit, grind, and leather-bound legacy of football’s earliest days.
The highlight of the ensemble is the custom helmet—a hand-painted, airbrushed masterpiece that replicates the old-school leather helmets worn by players a century ago. Complete with realistic straps, stitching, holes, and shading, the helmet is a modern shell dressed up in vintage armor. The design gives off an authentic leather appearance while offering today’s protection and safety standards.
The throwback jersey features a deep navy blue base with bold gold block numbers front and back. Three thin gold stripes line the sleeves, mimicking the striping pattern found on the Packers’ long-sleeved wool sweaters from 1922 to 1924. It’s a clean yet powerful design—classic, functional, and full of character. Paired with matching pants and socks, the look brings a unified old-school aesthetic to life.
Gold has long been a part of the Packers’ DNA, and this uniform reinforces that history. The vibrant yellow-gold elements pop against the navy base, celebrating the traditional color scheme that helped define the franchise’s identity in its formative years.
Adding to the historical flair, the uniform includes the NFL shield as a reminder of the Packers’ foundational role in the league. The team was officially admitted to the league during a 1921 meeting in Chicago, and this look honors that early chapter of Packers and league history alike.
The 1923 throwback will be worn during select games this season, offering fans a chance to see the modern Packers take the field in a uniform that echoes a century of tradition.
From the handcrafted helmet to the old-school sleeve stripes, the Packers’ 1923 Classic uniform isn’t just a look—it’s a legacy..
It’s official: the red lids are making their return to Buffalo.
The Buffalo Bills have announced the comeback of their iconic red helmets, worn from 1987 to 2001, for a special Week 18 matchup against the New York Jets — marking the final regular season game at the current Highmark Stadium before the team moves into their new home in 2026. And that’s not all. The Bills will also revive their classic Standing Buffalo throwback uniforms for two additional games during the 2025 NFL season.
With bold red shells, traditional blue-and-white striping, and a crisp white facemask, the red helmet is a direct throwback to a golden era of Bills football — the Super Bowl runs of the '90s, the legends that built the franchise, and a look that is forever etched into league history.
“There’s no better way to celebrate our fans and honor our team’s history than by bringing back the red helmets,” said Pete Guelli, Bills COO. “This is a great way to commemorate the closing of Highmark Stadium in our regular season finale.”
As the team prepares to move on from the current Highmark Stadium, the return of the red helmets and the classic throwbacks give fans a proper send-off. It’s a tribute not only to the players who built the franchise but also to the most loyal fanbase in football. For Week 18, expect the crowd in Orchard Park to be loud, proud, and decked out in red.
This is more than just a uniform drop — it’s a celebration of Bills history, a moment to reflect, and a look forward to the next era of Buffalo football.
The Cleveland Browns just let the Dawg out — and it’s Alpha. For the first time in franchise history, the Browns will don an all-brown helmet, dubbed the “Alpha Dawg”, to pair with an all-brown uniform combo during the 2025 NFL season.
"Alpha Dawg" isn’t just a name — it’s a mentality. The matte brown shell, brown facemask, and bold brown stripe framed by two iconic orange stripes scream intimidation and intensity. It’s a powerful nod to the franchise’s deep-rooted color identity and a clear message: there’s a new leader of the pack in Cleveland.
"'Alpha Dawg' embodies what we set out to be as the Cleveland Browns, the leaders of the pack,” said JW Johnson, Executive VP and Partner of the Browns. “We’re excited about this new alternate helmet and the ode it pays to the rich history of the color brown.”
The Browns will debut this look during three home games at Huntington Bank Field: Sept. 21 vs. Green Bay Packers, Oct. 19 vs. Miami Dolphins, Dec. 7 vs. Tennessee Titans
Thanks to the NFL’s updated helmet policy introduced in 2022, teams can now rock a third helmet option if it aligns with one of their approved alternate uniforms. For Cleveland, the “Alpha Dawg” helmet joins the white throwback as one of the team’s official alternate lids. While the orange remains the classic, the brown makes a powerful case for the present — and the future.
When the New York Jets reported to training camp this year, it wasn’t just the beginning of a new season — it was the unveiling of a game-changing upgrade to their home turf.
The Jets revealed a completely redesigned state-of-the-art locker room and team facilities at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, setting a new standard for player spaces in the NFL. From high-tech lockers and wellness enhancements to a vintage-inspired barbershop and a massive ceiling logo, the team’s facility is now a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and swagger.
The new setup features 92 custom-built lockers constructed from premium veneer, melamine, and stainless steel. These 1,000-pound units are anything but standard. Each one includes:
Automated video screens that can display schedules, messages, and motivational content.
Three ventilation fans dedicated to drying shoulder pads, helmets, and cleats.
USB charging ports, plush seats embroidered with the Jets logo, and green LED strip lighting that adds a glow of energy and edge to the room.
speakers integrated for a fully immersive audio experience.
The goal? Make every player feel like their locker is their own personal suite — and do it all in the name of wellness, performance, and pride.
“We are the first pro team or NCAA team to implement a fully automated video display into the lockers,” said Robert Mastroddi, Senior VP of Security and Facility Operations. “We made sure we had everything covered—from the size of the cupholders to the ventilation for gear. Every detail matters.”
Upgrades weren’t just for style. The wet area has been completely redone, and the new, larger sauna is optimized for recovery. Forced-air ventilation across the locker room minimizes moisture and reduces the risk of infection — all in service of peak player performance and longevity.
But perhaps the most jaw-dropping addition? A 2,000-pound, three-dimensional Jets logo suspended from the ceiling, featuring over 500 lights and a fully backlit and frontlit design. The hallway leading to the indoor fieldhouse now feels like a runway, with black textured wallpaper and green LEDs guiding players through the space.
Players won’t have to leave the facility to stay sharp. The Jets introduced a custom barbershop outfitted with two vintage black chairs from the 1950s, reimagined with green stitching and full personalization. It's a finishing touch that shows the franchise cares about every minute of a player's day — from workouts to wind-downs.
“Woody and Christopher Johnson have always been committed to providing a home for players that is second to none,” said Mastroddi. “That standard will never change.”
The New Orleans Saints are turning back the clock — with style.
the Saints officially unveiled their reimagined “Gameday Golds” alternate uniforms, marking a powerful return to a fan-favorite look with a modern twist. Set to debut during the 2025 NFL season, the new gold jerseys pay tribute to the franchise’s deep roots while signaling the start of a new era in the Crescent City.
The Saints haven’t worn gold jerseys since 2002, when they suited up against the Minnesota Vikings. Now, more than two decades later, the 2025 version refreshes that iconic energy with elevated design details, bold color choices, and a statement of pride for both the team and its fanbase.
The “Gameday Golds” were designed to evoke nostalgia for long-time fans while offering a sleek, updated aesthetic for a new generation of Saints supporters. The look ties the franchise’s past to its future, walking the line between vintage and cutting-edge — and it does so with swagger.
More info is still to come, including which matchup will mark the official on-field debut of the alternates, but one thing is for sure — the Superdome is about to shine brighter than ever.
When you talk about Steelers football, you’re talking about legacy. Grit. History. A city and a team that go hand in hand. This season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are honoring that legacy in a big way — unveiling newly redesigned 1933 throwback uniforms set to debut under the primetime lights on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.
This isn’t just a uniform drop — it’s a tribute to where it all began.
The Steelers’ 2024 throwback pays homage to the franchise’s first-ever season in 1933, but with modern updates that elevate the look while keeping the roots intact. It’s a perfect blend of vintage detail and new-school energy, and the rollout is as thoughtful as the design itself.
“We're excited to unveil our new throwback uniforms, which not only pay tribute to the origins of the Steelers franchise but also to the deep connection we have to our hometown of Pittsburgh,” said Steelers President Art Rooney II. “It’s especially fitting that we’ll debut these uniforms on Sunday night, when we play the Packers – another historic franchise with deep NFL roots.”
The uniform tells a full story — from helmet to pants — with every piece dialed in to reflect Pittsburgh pride and football heritage:
Gold jersey with bold black stripes and white block lettering trimmed in black
The City of Pittsburgh crest on the left shoulder — a direct nod to the hometown connection
Black block numbers on the back keep it clean and classic
Matte gold helmet with a black center stripe and gray facemask — one of the most talked-about elements so far
The fit is completed with beige pants, tying the look together with a throwback twist
Linebacker Alex Highsmith summed up the vibe perfectly: “The first time I saw it, my jaw dropped. We haven't worn a jersey like that in a while. It's all so cool... the helmet is just sick.”
Tight end Pat Freiermuth echoed the excitement: “The yellow helmet is sweet. It gets players excited. It gets fans excited. After we wear them, I want to keep that helmet forever.”
The players are fully locked in — not just because of the new look, but because of what it represents. It’s not just about flash. It’s about representing decades of greatness and a city that lives and breathes Steelers football.
Unveiling the throwbacks on Sunday Night Football, with the entire nation watching, isn’t just smart — it’s symbolic. This is Pittsburgh’s time to shine, not just in the standings, but in style. The uniform is a visual reminder of where the Steelers started, how far they’ve come, and the pride that continues to define the franchise.
“It’s an honor to wear these uniforms, knowing the history of this organization,” said Highsmith. “We’ve got to wear it with pride.”
