LOOK: Patriots wearing new Storm Blue alternate uniform for first time on ‘TNF’

When the New England Patriots hit the field Thursday night, they will be wearing a new alternate jersey that has never been worn before: the Nor’easter. The uniform was unveiled back in August as part of the NFL’s “Rivalries” program. The Patriots are one of eight NFL teams that will get the new “Rivalries uniform” for 2025. They’ll also be the fourth team in the league to debut it. The Patriots are located in the Northeast, so the team created a “Nor’easter’ jersey and helmet combo that “blends regional natural elements, rich maritime heritage, and football traditions into a bold and future-oriented design,” according the team. 
Storm Blue was selected as the official color because of its “rugged, weathered look, worn in like the coastline following a gale.” The neckline of the uniform is adorned with six stars, representing the six New England state.

The Patriots and Nike teamed up to design a new uniform that is supposed to capture “the power, unpredictability, and intensity of a New England Storm”.The Storm Blue look has been a big hit in the Patriots locker room. Jaylin Hawkins told ESPN this week that the uniform was “probably the nicest I’ve ever worn in my entire football career.” The color scheme is awesome. It has a lot of “aura” to it.
