NFL fans will love throwback jersey policy update

Although some teams don’t have much history to dip into like others, most of the NFL fanbase will be jumping for joy after learning this news.

The NFL isn’t always the best at being the “fun parent.” But, in this instance of allowing teams to wear their throwback or alternate uniforms four times instead of three, they’re basically allowing NFL fans to stay up late and eat ice cream for breakfast.

Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but a good uniform game is one of the purest forms of pleasure the NFL can provide.

Watching a matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles in their Kelly Green against the Atlanta Falcons in their red helmet throwbacks would be a true cinematic masterpiece for fans. The Seattle Seahawks in their throwback uniforms against the Denver Broncos in their Elway-era threads? C’mon now.

Even teams without spiffy throwback uniforms — like the Cincinnati Bengals — can wear their alternates more frequently, giving fans a better view for four quarters.

Now, that’s not to say that the regular uniforms are bad, especially the Bengals. They have some of the best regular uniforms in the NFL. But, there’s a reason some teams revert to their throwback or alternate uniforms. Simply put, they’re more often a better-looking uniform.

For the New York Giants, however, they should stick to their regular set because the throwback uniforms they unveiled in 2024 were truly hideous. However, if the Giants want to wear those throwback uniforms four times in the 2025 season, they have that right.
