Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major North American professional sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world.
NFL Teams Release New Jerseys Before the Start of the Season
All NFL teams release new jerseys before the start of the season. The date that each team releases their new jerseys varies, but it is typically within a month or two prior to the start of the season.
Some teams will wait until closer to the start of the season to release their new jerseys, while others may release them several months in advance. The Denver Broncos, for example, released their new jerseys for the 2019 season in April of 2018. On the other end of the spectrum, the Pittsburgh Steelers did not release their new jerseys until late July of 2018, just a few weeks before the start of the season.
The timing of when each team releases their new jerseys varies based on a number of factors, including when they are able to finalize designs and receive approval from the NFL. Some teams may also choose to wait until after they have unveiled their new uniforms at an event or through a marketing campaign before making them available for purchase.
Regardless of when each team releases their new jerseys, fans can expect to see all 32 NFL teams sporting updated looks when the 2019 season kicks off in September.
NFL Teams Release New Jerseys When They Have a New Head Coach
In the NFL, teams typically release new jerseys when they have a new head coach. This is because the new coach will want to put his stamp on the team and will want to choose his own colors and designs for the jerseys.
NFL Teams Release New Jerseys When They Have a New Quarterback
Most NFL teams release new jerseys when they have a new quarterback. The Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers all released new jerseys this offseason when they acquired new quarterbacks via trade or free agency. The only team that didn’t release a new jersey was the Philadelphia Eagles, who already had a young franchise quarterback in Carson Wentz.
NFL Teams Release New Jerseys When They Have a New Stadium
Most NFL teams release new jerseys when they have a new stadium. The exception is the Dallas Cowboys, who release new jerseys every four years. The last time the Cowboys released new jerseys was in 2009.
Conclusion
In conclusion, NFL teams release new jerseys typically every other year, with some teams releasing new jerseys more often than that. Some teams will release new jerseys to coincide with a big event, such as a Super Bowl appearance or a change in ownership. Occasionally, a team will keep the same jersey design for several years in a row.
