Anthony Gharib Aug 25, 2026, 10:00 AM ET Eight new squads unveiled their threads for the second edition of the NFL's Rivalries uniform series. The AFC South and NFC North teams will each wear special uniforms for a home game against a division rival. The Indianapolis Colts will be the first team to debut a Rivalries uniform this campaign when they face the Houston Texans in Week 3. The Chicago Bears are the last to do so in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers.

Last season, teams from the AFC East and NFC West rang in the new initiative, which the league says is meant to celebrate rivalries in the NFL. Each design is created in collaboration with the team, Nike and the league. The uniforms will remain in each team's rotation for three years alongside its existing alternate looks. The NFC East and AFC West squads will unveil theirs next season, and the NFC South and AFC North round out the first batch in 2028.

Chicago leans into its rich history with a look that pays homage to founder George Halas' legacy. A patch honoring Halas appears on the front, similar to what the team wore in 1983. The Bears' burnt orange and deep blue colorway is a classic, and the four stars of the city's flag are referenced. "Monsters of the Midway" runs on the back of the neckline. On-field debut: Week 16 vs. Packers.

Detroit highlights the city's legacy as "a hub for innovation." The primary white uniform includes Honolulu blue throughout. Elements to the city's car and racing culture include sleek carbon-fiber-italicized numerals. "Defend the Den" also appears on the back neckline. On-field debut: Week 8 vs. Minnesota Vikings. Green Bay's design honors its unique tradition, with a retro-style "GB" logo and a vintage green. It pays homage to six stock sales over 107 years. Houston's all-white design includes chrome details and a blue number set inspired by the city's "Be Someone" bridge.
