The first cohort of NFL Rivalries clubs, from the AFC East and NFC West, will debut their new Rivalries uniforms designed by Nike during a single upcoming home game against a division rival. The designs are rooted extensively in the legacies and inspirations true to each team, serving as authentic, competitive expressions of community pride while giving athletes and fans an opportunity to connect like never before.

“Nike has a rich history with football, and we’re excited to partner with the NFL on this new Rivalries program to help grow the sport and expand it for the next generation,” says Airhart Ryan, Director, NFL Apparel Product Design at Nike. “Each uniform was designed in collaboration with the club it represents to authentically reflect what makes their team, fans and communities wholly unique.”

After their on-field debut, the Rivalries uniforms will be included in their team’s uniform lineup for three years, in addition to existing alternate uniforms. Additional Rivalries uniforms will debut during the 2026, 2027 and 2028 seasons.
