NFL uniform power rankings: Where do new Broncos, Jets, Lions kits rank?
Description
The NFL could be entering what might be a golden era for its teams’ uniforms — one of the most visible, marketable and profitable components of the country’s biggest sports juggernaut.
Two years ago, the league reinstated the use of secondary helmet shells, a development that allowed teams to develop alternative uniform combinations and/or embrace their past looks. Think about teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans (Houston Oilers), who all featured white helmets with their classic looks — and, yes, you’ll find the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s are an especially prized fashion era, especially if that’s when you fell in love with the game — but couldn’t reprise them until the uniform rule was modified.
Now the helmet palette is being expanded further, teams undergoing uniform redesigns this year offered the option to implement a third helmet, an alternative that will be available to every club in 2025.
Not every club will maximize the rule at first — or maybe ever — but at least we’re off and running with the New York Jets, Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos and Houston Texans all revamping their unis for the 2024 campaign … which naturally necessitates and update to what have become our near-annual NFL uniform power rankings, listed from worst to best (previous rank in parentheses)
Good luck finding anyone, particularly in the D.C. area, who has much enthusiasm for this completely uninspired rebrandLearned recently that the panther head logo is designed in such a way as to resemble North and South Carolina together on a map. Kinda cool. Not much else about these uniforms is. A dated hodgepodge that just takes you back to the 1990s, when black and teal (aka “Panther Blue”) — the San Jose Sharks basically — was hot. Seems like it’s time for an update, maybe with something closer to Carolina Blue. But the logo can now stay.

— and that seems to include the new ownership group, which hasn’t exactly dismissed the notion that another one could be coming at some point. The road uniforms in particular are eyesores with the black alternates the best, if somewhat by default … though the use of the District of Columbia flag on the shoulders is a keeper.
