Baltimore unveils new uniforms built for next era of Ravens football

This off-season, the Ravens hired their fourth head coach in franchise history, bringing back Jesse Minter. On Thursday, Baltimore unveiled new uniforms for the first time in 26 years, or five years after the franchise returned to Charm City. The evening event included a performance from cover band Go Go Gadjet and appearances by current players and more than a dozen Ravens Legends, including Terrell Suggs, Todd Heap, Qadry Ismail, Jamal Lewis, Jermaine Lewis, Michael McCrary, Edwin Mulitalo, Ray Rice, Jimmy Smith, and Matt Stover.

Calling it a fresh start, under the moniker 'Next Flight', the Ravens unveiled a crisp, sharp new look in front of a packed audience of fans and media members at a PSL event on Thursday, April 16, at Merriweather Post Pavilion.

"From the outset, our objective was clear: evolve a uniform that has become iconic, and only move forward if we could truly make it better," Senior Vice President of Marketing Brad Downs said. "After more than two years of design, iteration, and collaboration, we believe we've done just that—delivering a look that feels both modern and unmistakably Ravens."

Baltimore previously added analternate 'Purple Rising helmet for one game each season, and the new design was met with praise and excitement from fans and players alike. On Thursday, they debuted the 'Next Flight" uniforms, and the new threads will go on sale on Friday, April 17.

Players reacted to the new uniforms, with quarterback Lamar Jackson "wishing he could speed up time" because he badly wants to play in the look jerseys.
