From 1960-1992, the Pat-Patriot uniforms and helmets were a staple within the New England Patriots franchise. Although the team was not as successful as they have been in the past twenty years, the red uniforms have become the most iconic look in the New England Patriots franchise's history. In 1993 the Patriots rebranded their image, but the "Pat Patriot" uniforms remain the most popular jerseys in the team's history.

After nearly ten years, the iconic red New England Patriots jerseys will return. On Sunday, the New England Patriots will wear their iconic Pat-Patriot jerseys in a home matchup against the Detroit Lions. Fans were delighted to hear that the team's most iconic look would return to the field, especially because of how they left.


In 2013, the NFL announced that teams would not be allowed to wear multiple helmets during the season. This decision came with a growing concern about the effects of concussions on current and former players in the league, as the NFL believed this could help prevent concussions. Banning alternate helmets was controversial, as the decision was made from good conscious to protect players, while others thought the rule was pointless and wanted to see alternate helmet designs.

In 2021, Patriots fans were delighted to hear that they would be able to see the team’s white helmets return. The NFL instituted a new policy allowing to wear an alternate helmet if they were the same size, make, and model as the player’s original helmet. In June of 2022, the Patriots unveiled their iconic red uniforms, and fans were more than pleased.

This Sunday, the red New England Patriots jerseys make their long-anticipated return as the Patriots look to get back on the winning path against the Detroit Lions at 1:00. On December 1st, the Patriots will wear their throwback jerseys one more time this season against the Buffalo Bills. No matter what the result of these games are, Patriots fans across the nation will be pleased to see their red uniforms finally return to the field.
