NFL Teams Stir Memories, Sales With Throwback Uniform Reveals

  • The Titans will be paying homage to their Houston Oilers days with throwback jerseys.
  • A relaxed policy from the NFL is letting teams use more alternate helmets now.

More NFL teams are looking to cash in on alternate and throwback uniforms as the league continues to relax its policy on teams using multiple helmets for a second straight season.

The Tennessee Titans and New York Jets are the latest squads to unveil alternate uniforms to be worn during select games in the 2023 season. While the Jets won’t abandon their classic green helmets for their “Legacy White” throwbacks, the Titans will trade their navy blue helmet shells for a white base as part of a throwback fit honoring their past as the Houston Oilers.

On Monday, the Titans’ website was dominated by the reveal and its push to sell powder blue jerseys, shirts, and hats on the “Oilers Pro Shop.” Likewise, the Jets were promoting their throwback gear online and noted that tickets remained available to the two games featuring the uniforms.

Blast From The Past

Also returning this year are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ creamsicle uniforms with white helmets that couldn’t previously be worn with the Bucs’ standard pewter helmets. The Philadelphia Eagles have been hinting at bringing back their Kelly Green uniforms this season. The Atlanta Falcons will wear a red helmet as part of their throwback uniforms.

Last season, the New England Patriots brought back their “Pat Patriot” uniforms with white helmets, while the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, and Chicago Bears wore different-colored helmets.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
