NFL Rivalries Jerseys Explained: What They Are & When They Drop
The NFL and Nike have teamed up to launch a brand-new uniform series called the “Rivalries” jerseys. Think of them as special edition alternates designed to highlight the fiercest rivalries in football. Each jersey is inspired by local culture, history, and fan identity — making them not just gear for game day, but collector’s items that tell a story.
For 2025, the Rivalries collection kicks off with the AFC East and NFC West divisions. That means eight teams will be suiting up in these new looks. Each team will wear their Rivalries jersey once per season at a big rivalry matchup. And here’s the kicker: these designs will stay in rotation for three years, just like the NBA’s City Edition uniforms.
Why Collectors Care
Limited Runs: Worn once a year, these jerseys instantly become rarer than standard alternates.
Local Identity: Designs reflect weather, landmarks, culture, and even slang unique to each team’s fan base.
Future Value: With only a few appearances per season, they could become highly sought-after pieces for collectors down the line.
