Baltimore has become the latest franchise to take advantage of the NFL’s updated uniform policy that allows teams to have two alternate helmets. The league revised its uniform policy in April to allow teams to add a third helmet design, with the additional design offered to teams going through the redesign process for the 2024 season and open to all teams for the 2025 season. The league updated its uniform policy in 2022 to allow teams to have a second helmet color.
The new Ravens helmet also features gold detailing and has received rave reviews from current and former players, as well as fans.
“This is badass, man,” Ravens tight end Mark Andrews said in a promotional video released by the team.
His sentiments were signed by other team members, including receiver Zay Flowers, who said: “This is the guy right here.”
