It’s Christmas in August for fans of new NFL jerseys.On Tuesday, the NFL and Nike introduced the latest batch of “Rivalries” jerseys for a quarter of the league. Teams in the AFC South and NFC North unveiled the jerseys they will wear at one home game against a division rival in 2026, following the concept’s debut last season with the NFC West and AFC East.Each of the eight jerseys has a story, and the new kits will debut on the field as early as Week 3. The jersey will also pair with a non-traditional helmet, including some new-look hats. Additionally, the two divisions that got Rivalries jerseys last year will again wear them in one game this season.Here are the jerseys, and when you’ll see each on the field:Colts: Week 3 (vs. Texans)Courtesy of NFL / NikePackers: Week 5 (vs. Bears)Courtesy of NFL / NikeLions: Week 8 (vs. Vikings)Courtesy of NFL / NikeJaguars: Week 8 (vs. Colts)Courtesy of NFL / NikeTitans: Week 10 (vs. Jaguars)Courtesy of NFL / NikeTexans: Week 11 (vs. Colts)Courtesy of NFL / NikeVikings: Week 15 (vs. Lions)Courtesy of NFL / NikeBears: Week 16 (vs. Packers)Courtesy of NFL / NikeTwo things jump out in terms of the schedule.First, the Packers-Bears rivalry, arguably the league’s most storied with 213 all-time meetings, will feature a team wearing a non-traditional jersey in each game. That was entirely coincidental, NFL chief revenue officer and executive vice president of partnerships Renie Anderson tells The Athletic.“The clubs came to us because they’re so excited about the uniforms and the meaning of the uniforms and what they mean to the community,” Anderson said. “A lot of the design comes from the local market, local community and how they think about that, and so we work together with them.”
