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 Nor’easter is here.

“Designed as part of the NFL’s new ‘Rivalries’ program and created with the power and unpredictability of a New England storm in mind, the Nor’easter uniform blends the region’s natural elements, rich maritime history, and football tradition into a bold, future-forward design,” wrote Mike Dussault of Patriots.com.

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 jersey is part of a larger line launched by Nike.
