The Patriots unveil the “Nor’easter” uniform: With football season set to return, the NFL is starting to showcase some of the unique components of its 2025 schedule.
Among those is the inevitable slate of alternate jerseys that get used each season. For the Patriots, this means the “Nor’easter” uniform created by Nike that the team will wear in the Week 11 matchup with the AFC East rival Jets on Thursday Nov. 13.

The jersey features six stars to represent the six states of New England, various nautical homages as well as references to past Patriots teams. “We are all Patriots,” a phrase that was famously used by Robert Kraft following Super Bowl XXXVI, is written inside the collar.
The Patriot’ version of the jersey is part of a larger line launched by Nike:

More from Boston.com:
Ceddanne Rafaela’s perspective: The Red Sox outfielder predicted his clutch home run (seen at the bottom) before it happened.
Payton Pritchard’s buzzer beaters: The Celtics randomly posted a clip of all of Pritchard’s buzzer beaters, so why not watch it?
