"Over the last five years, the Patriots have experimented with several uniform combinations, even changing their standard home and away looks in hopes of establishing a post-Tom Brady look that emphasized the new era. It was met with mixed reactions from fans, most of whom simply wanted the classic blue jersey and silver pants combo back in the standard lineup."
"That was teased as a return last season under Jerod Mayo, and even this year under Mike Vrabel, yet they have only been worn once since the start of the year. Now that they're in the midst of three road games, the expectation was that we would see the white jerseys and blue pants uniforms, since those are typically their away looks."
"But the team just unveiled, via their social media, that won't be the case in their upcoming game against the Saints, after wearing their home looks against the Bills on Sunday Night Football. Instead, they have revealed a new combination that they have not worn since 2017, which was a season most would claim was plagued by the color rush uniforms that fans detested (for the most part)."
Over the last five years the Patriots experimented with multiple uniform combinations to establish a post-Tom Brady identity, prompting mixed fan reactions. Many fans preferred a return to the classic blue jersey and silver pants home-and-away pairing. Teased returns under Jerod Mayo and Mike Vrabel resulted in those uniforms being worn only once this year. During a three-game road stretch the expectation was for white jerseys with blue pants, but the team announced they will instead wear a combination not used since 2017. The Patriots have not worn white pants with the current primary uniforms; the last white-pants appearance occurred in a 2017 color-rush game against the Buccaneers. Fan reactions remain mixed.
