The Arizona Cardinals will have new uniforms in 2025. Well, they will have a different uniform for one home game this coming season.
The NFL announced that eight teams — the four teams in the AFC East and the four in the NFC West, which includes the Cardinals — are participating in the league’s new “Rivalries” initiative.
From the announcement:
“The NFL is home to some of the biggest football rivalries and today marks a historical moment for the NFL as we share ‘Rivalries’ with the world,” said Renie Anderson, chief revenue officer at the NFL. “Together with Nike, we are harnessing the power of rivalry matchups to bring fan excitement and community pride to the next level. Through specially designed player uniforms and limited-edition fan gear, we will embark on a journey that inspires competitive spirit and reveals the winner in all of us.”
Each participating team will wear a unique Rivalries uniform with designs rooted extensively in local community insights during a single home game against a division rival. The designs have been brought to life by pulling inspiration from the history of each market and the aspects of the community that only that team’s city embodies.
Following their reveal, these Rivalries uniforms will be included in their team’s uniform lineup for three years after introduction, in addition to existing alternate uniforms. Teams from the AFC South and NFC North will debut their Rivalries uniforms in 2026, followed by NFC East and AFC West teams in 2027, and teams from the AFC North and NFC South in 2028.
So the Cardinals will have their home reds, road whites, alternate blacks and now the rivalries threads for one game for the next four years.
The NFL will announce the “Rivalries” games following the league’s schedule release on May 14.
