Ranking the 2026 NFL Rivalry Uniforms

I love some new uniform drops, and the NFL just dropped their rivalry uniforms for the 2026 season. Don't really know how the divisions get selected, but the AFC South and NFC North were the lucky teams this year. Let's rank them.

I figured it'd be pretty hard to mess up cool, alternate Jags jerseys with their colors but they somehow found a way. These look like an arena football team. The jersey is alright even though it might be a little boring. The helmet would be cool if it felt like it went with the rest of the uniform. But the jaguar print pants are actually laughable. They look like leggings from an ugly Lululemon collection. Whoever gave the green light for those should be fired.

I was pretty disappointed the Bears didn't get an iceman white uniform like it was rumored all offseason. These Illinois-looking uniforms dont really do it for me. I know they refuse to get off of their high horse in terms of going away from the traditional color pallette, but they had a golden chance in front of them. Cool details around the uniforms but too much orange for me. Have never really been a huge fan of the orange helmets either.

There's nothing particularly wrong with this uniform, they just look too much like the Panthers. The Lions already had an alternate blue helmet to wear with their blackout unis, which I like a lot. I don't know if I'm crazy about the black on white on the road. The Lions have always had some silver in their unis for the most part and it just feels kind of wrong seeing a road uniform without any. Not bad though.

Love me some dark grey uniforms. It's pretty popular right now but not everyone is able to do it right. I didn't hate the Bills nickel city unis that they dropped earlier this offseason, but these feel like a better, cleaner version of those. The blue helmet goes well with the blue on the jersey and actually makes the uniform look like it goes together. I say that because I despise their all blue uniforms they wear with the black helmets that just look out of place. These aren't anything crazy, but pretty solid.

The Texans are lucky that it's nearly impossible to mess up the red and light blue color scheme. Which is probably why the Titans try to prevent anyone else from using it. They do look a little like the new Titans jerseys but the pop of red helps differentiate enough. They're still a bit boring compared to what they could've done but those are going to look incredible on field.

These are so fire. The all purple with gold trim looks exactly like Vikings uniforms should look. The fact that a lot of the gold trim is the nordic viking knot pattern is elite too. After looking at these uniforms next to their current normal ones, it makes you realize how plain the other ones feel. These should be the model for the future Vikings uniforms whenever they finally make a change there.

As if the new Titans unis didn't add enough heat to their 2026 rotation, these unis are the cherry on top. The normal ones brought back the baby blue as the center of everything while these made the navy the main event once again. The music city script on the chest is clean and the number font is elite. Baby blue helmets with the baby blue socks are the perfect complement to the all navy set. Cam Ward will be drowning in aura wearing these. Nike killed it here.

From what I've seen on these Packers unis, people either love them or hate them. I love them. It's difficult for one of the older teams to make a revamped edition of a classic jersey, which is why it typically fails. I liked the all white ones they had but they still lacked a little bit of character. They fixed the striping on the white helmet with these which makes it so clean. I love the shade of green, it makes it feel very vintage but fresh at the same time. The name and number font go perfectly with the unis too. Put the Packers on my card whenever they wear these, I think these are the best of the bunch.
