As the calendar turns to October, NFL uniforms remain fresh with an alternate-heavy slate in Week 4. On "Thursday Night Football," the Cleveland Browns will wear their "Alpha Dawg" combination against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland revealed the all-brown threads in July 2025 with a new alternate brown helmet, marking the first time in franchise history a brown helmet was worn. Orange-colored numbers and an orange stripe on the helmet are key design elements.
In the throwback space, the New York Giants are donning their legacy uniforms against the Arizona Cardinals. These threads, worn from 1980 to 1999, were reintroduced in 2022 with a navy helmet. Written inside the collar is "Once a Giants, Always a Giant," the words of late owner Wellington Mara.
The Carolina Panthers will bring an all-black look to "Sunday Night Football" against the Detroit Lions, first debuted in 2022. The Dallas Cowboys rock navy blue alternates with silver pants against the Houston Texans, who wear liberty white jerseys with deep steel blue pants—the same uniform matchup from Houston's first regular-season game in 2002.
