Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is a fan of the look and is excited to put on the new jersey against the Jets.
“First thought with the storm blue is it’s a different look. It’s pretty sweet,” Maye said in a video shared by the Patriots. “Seeing some of the jerseys in the crowd, it’s been awesome, and I’m looking forward to putting them on and putting them to real use.”
Christian Gonzalez added: “I like it a lot. As soon as I saw it I liked it. The history of the AFC East is great. There’s a lot of rivalries in our division and the atmosphere is always right when we have a division game. I think it’s awesome to have these uniforms.”
