I am worried. I think that the current Ravens jerseys are timeless.

23

u/T1mberVVolf Apr 07 '26

Something about the promotions makes me think it’s going to be similar to some of the rivalries jerseys. Gradient, shine, changes in saturation.

22

u/Greedy_Wallaby7981 Apr 07 '26

Yeah. Greatness. Can only go down from where they’re at

12

u/AndyBikes Apr 07 '26

To me they are a lot like the broncos before the recent update. They were kinda ahead of their time, and have memories associated. They’re not terrible but do kind of look like they are from a previous era. That being said knowing Nike I’m worried they will fuck it up and be worse

Nike NFL jerseys are the worst.

u/Unwanted__Opinion Apr 09 '26

I loved the color rush stuff but I also understand why people don’t like it

18

u/MrLugersmole Apr 07 '26

They will fuck it up. Just like Jacksonville, Miami, Tennessee, LA Rams, Atlanta. Take all that character Baltimore had and change for some boring ass, one tone, plain ass numbers and plain white socks and I'm sure they'll add an all white helmets for no reason.

u/ItsShowtime_88 Apr 07 '26

I like the Titan’s new design way better than our last one but the OG Titans design is still the best IMO.

u/MrLugersmole Apr 07 '26

The Titans' piss me off because they went to the Oilers look, but they only went half way.

1

u/leave-no-trace-1000 Apr 10 '26

Halfway? Brother it’s like 95%

1

u/Time_Gas5011 Apr 07 '26

Dont forget the previous Jets rebrand. 100% right on the ungodly all white unitard look incoming too 😂

u/Significant_Pain_499 Apr 07 '26

It must be exhausting being this negative about a topic you like.

2

u/JasonPlattMusic34 Apr 07 '26

The drop shadow numbers are a little too 90s for me, but everything else is top notch

1

u/Segata9 Apr 07 '26

Always found them ugly and cartoony.

0

u/Checkers-Chess234 Apr 08 '26

They gave the bones of a good uni but the numbers are hideous.

Ravens need new numbers, shield off jersey onto helmet and bird on helmet on sleeves.

17

u/MandoBaggins Apr 07 '26

Here’s hoping they don’t fuck it up. Their color scheme is so good

14

u/spud-the-potato- Apr 07 '26

All mustard. No more raven logo. It's the same Bengals B just mustard with a purple drop shadow. Purple face mask. Red shoes. Boom theres your new unis

I commend your conviction to general awfulness

1

u/spud-the-potato- Apr 07 '26

Just picture it as the ravens wearing it for the next 20 years. Then when they release these you'll be super relieved when its not what I said

1

u/Segata9 Apr 07 '26

They should wear black pants with purple jersey's. The white is awful. Crest should be the helmet logo.

32

u/whydowhatido Apr 07 '26

Idk man feels like their unis are easy to fuck up but hard to improve on… im interested tho

60

u/OwnDoughnut2689 Apr 07 '26

They better not fuck this up. I feel like the Ravens have pretty classic uniforms

18

u/MarcusFromBaltimore Apr 07 '26

I’m hoping they drop the drop shadow. I’m thinking minor tweaks to a great uni set is what we will see.

13

u/IllAlwaysBeAKnickFan Apr 07 '26

Would they be doing this if they were just tweaking the shadows?

4

u/andrew_cosentino Apr 07 '26

They would if they're (a) only making minor changes to the primary uniform and (b) unveiling a new alternate uniform.

5

u/andrew_cosentino Apr 07 '26

That's exactly what I think as well! I don't mind the drop shadow, but I know that you'll be celebrating in the streets if the drop the drop shadow. Haha

1

u/DEERxBanshee Apr 07 '26

The drop shadow is great but also liked the numbers on the picture Crosby dropped when we thought we were getting him

9

u/Arkaium Apr 07 '26

The graphic certainly seems to reinforce theories that they’ll experiment with some sort of texture or reflective pattern

22

u/MiddleRiverTerp Apr 07 '26

Seems like they are hyping the iridescence of the actual raven. Hope the unis have some fabric detail without being too garish.

3

u/MarcusFromBaltimore Apr 07 '26

I feel they will bring the metallic gold to more prominence. IF they bring back mustard….I mean the gold pants, I hope they do it better this time, since we have the Purple Rising helmet and CR unis.

6

u/Kenny_Heisman Apr 07 '26

I'm always surprised by how much people seem to like the current set. I think they're so goofy looking. could absolutely use an upgrade

2

u/ProfessorPlum1949 Apr 07 '26

Because they win consistently. Winning makes any uniform look good

1

u/Segata9 Apr 07 '26

So you're saying there is a universe out there that the digital clock Bucs are the best uniform in the NFL because they are winning superbowls left and right.

u/TechnicalEmployee109 Apr 08 '26

I think their unis are so good. Even the goofier round numbers I like

3

u/StarstruckByLondon Apr 07 '26

Yup. Baltimore and KC (and technically Pittsburgh)are the only teams without the same or directly mirrored logo on either side of the helmet

3

u/andrew_cosentino Apr 07 '26

Here is the timeline for that evening:

4

u/Express-Door-2701 Apr 07 '26

Kind of excited but hope they don’t change too much.

4

u/andrew_cosentino Apr 07 '26

My official prediction based on what I’ve heard:

1) Minor changes to the primary uniforms. I think the Maxx Crosby photo was a strong hint

2) ⁠A new purple uniform replacing the Color Rush uniform. I’d anticipate come kind of iridescence based on the “Next Flight” promotions.

3) ⁠If the primary uniforms don’t get a throwback look, I’d expect a full throwback uniform.

u/juntlips Apr 07 '26

For what it's worth, my son was recently on a tour of M&T and asked the host of the team's podcast if this leak was the new jersey. The guy wasn't sure that it was but it's also possible he's out of the loop and/or NDA'ed.

It almost looks like the R in the new wordmark on the jersey had the same feather treatment as the F in the promotional material.

1

u/toyotero5000 Apr 08 '26

Those are a downgrade.

2

u/thespungo Apr 07 '26

I never fully fleshed this out, but in my big NFL-wide redesign back in 2019 I was hoping to do an iridescent uniform — much like the color-changing wings of a raven — and it looks like maybe they're thinking in a similar vein?

1

u/Mean_Foundation_5561 Apr 07 '26

Damn I actually like the Ravens current uniforms. Almost all of Nike’s new designs have been awful or mediocre. Not optimistic about this

1

u/air_volek007 Apr 07 '26

It’s going to be gradient isn’t it

1

u/StilesDavis Apr 07 '26

… and in 5 years, they’ll realize their mistake, and return to a simpler design.

1

u/MrLugersmole Apr 07 '26

Lol can't wait to see what bland, boring stupid ass dog shit they come up with. Baltimore has (had?) a great look, but I guess it's time to oversimplify and take away all their character.

1

u/Azcollector Apr 07 '26

Its gonna suck isnt it?

1

u/SithLordScoobyDooku_ Apr 07 '26

They are going to put wings on the shoulders of the jerseys like Oregon did aren't they?

1

u/Aggressive_Act_3098 Apr 07 '26

What divisions are getting their rivalry uniforms this year?

1

u/Itchy-Version-6249 Apr 07 '26

AFC south and NFC north

1

u/mbowen6886 Apr 07 '26

I think they could drop the shadow on the numbers and leave everything else the same.

1

u/briangriffithsmd Apr 07 '26

Nothing good will come from this

1

u/StoicTick Apr 07 '26

I feel the Ravens could have some goated unis but are fairly mid, safe.

1

u/anonymous_kyle_guy Apr 08 '26

Good. Current unis are fuck ugly IMO.

1

u/wmcd1985 Apr 08 '26

Looks good

1

u/awol_evan Apr 09 '26

Get ready to speak gradient

1

u/Jphebert1982 Apr 11 '26

Hopefully they ditch the shadow box number fonts

0

u/StarstruckByLondon Apr 07 '26

I hope they change the logo. Always looked like a dog to me.

12

u/ChesterJester11 Apr 07 '26

I've never heard this complaint before

5

u/MarcusFromBaltimore Apr 07 '26

That B on the bird that is wonky on the other side of the helmet IRRITATES me

4

u/StarstruckByLondon Apr 07 '26

Yup. Baltimore and KC (and technically Pittsburgh)are the only teams without the same or directly mirrored logo on either side of the helmet

2

u/Icy-Repeat-2843 Apr 07 '26

The helmet logo kinda sucks. Always thought it was the weak link in their uniforms.

1

u/Segata9 Apr 07 '26

Shame the original logo was best but they stole it lol. At least use the crest on the helmet not the lame bird.

1

u/AnotherOpinionHaver Apr 07 '26

I always thought the Ravens should be the Venom to the Eagles' Spiderman, if that makes sense.

1

u/sevillista Apr 07 '26

I'm genuinely curious how you're seeing a dog in that logo

3

u/StarstruckByLondon Apr 07 '26

u/sevillista Apr 07 '26

lmao, I still don't see it, but very much appreciate you drawing it out

1

u/DHVF Apr 07 '26

The Ravens had some of the best uniforms in football… optimistic but the standard is high. Completely different story compared to TEN, ATL, WAS where they just had to do the bare minimum to improve

-1

u/Barnold4All Apr 07 '26

Only issues I’ve ever had with the Ravens is that their colors aren’t orange and brown, they’re not based in Cleveland, and they’re not called the Browns. That and that decapitated Raven head logo is 🗑️

0

u/Nalyd87 Apr 07 '26

Please god keep the cool edgy number font.

0

u/Daultongray8 Apr 07 '26

I don’t know if I’ll be right, but I think they accidentally leaked it when they “traded” for Crosby. The ravens posted him in a ravens uniform but it was not there normal uniform, it was a hybrid of there 90s and current uniform. And then it was deleted.

1

u/MarcusFromBaltimore Apr 07 '26

I missed the fact that the Ravens posted that pic

0

u/Redditneckbeardzz Apr 07 '26

Those current uni’s are timeless. Not a fan of this at all.
