The NFL is set to reintroduce rivalry uniforms starting with the 2026 season.
Following the inception of the Rivalries program in 2025, the league has collaborated with Nike to unveil the uniforms for the eight teams in the AFC South and NFC North that they will don while facing their division rivals this season. Once they make their debut on the field, these Rivalries uniforms will be rotated into the team’s lineup for three years in addition to their traditional jerseys.
