Ravens pair the White Noise uniform with the Purple Rising helmet for the home opener

Baltimore confirmed the full White Noise combination for Sunday against the Saints: white jersey, white pants and the metallic Purple Rising helmet. The team is also asking the crowd to wear white, so the whiteout is in the stands while the purple shell carries the field.

This is the detail worth knowing. White Noise is not a white helmet look, and it is not the road whites either. Baltimore is choosing white at home, which forces New Orleans into color.

White at home is surprising, and in general I do not love teams wearing white at home. If this is a heat decision, fine, that is a real reason.

Rams debut the gold Classic Sol on Monday night, their first gold jersey in a decade

The Rams wear the gold Classic Sol for the first time on Monday night against the Giants. It is a tribute to the 1951 NFL championship team: royal triple striping on the sleeves, block numbers, and white pants with a blue, gold, blue stripe down each leg.

It is also the first gold jersey the Rams have worn since the all-gold Color Rush set in 2015. They wear it twice this season, both in prime time, with the second date December 3 against the Chiefs on Thursday night.

Air Force's B-21 Raider uniform is a blackout where you can still read the numbers

Air Force wears its 2026 Air Power Legacy Series uniform against Navy on October 3, and it honors the B-21 Raider stealth bomber. Matte black head to toe, a dark camouflage helmet wrap with B-21 above the facemask, and chrome silver numerals.

The back plates read STRATEGIC DETERRENCE and POWER PROJECTION. The patches are Air Force Global Strike Command, the 412th Test Wing that flight tests the B-21 at Edwards, Air Force Materiel Command and the Colorado Air National Guard's 140th Wing. We graded it A-.

This one is sick. I do not usually like black uniforms, but the pop on the jersey numbers makes it.

Vanderbilt has not actually worn the all-gold uniform it revealed, and nobody noticed

Vanderbilt revealed a gold uniform in August: gold helmet with the black and white center stripe, gold jersey, gold pants. For the Gold Out against Delaware on September 12, outlets reported the Commodores "went all gold."

They did not. The broadcast frames show the gold jersey worn with the white helmet and white pants, not the gold ones. The complete gold set from the reveal still has not been worn in a game.

It is a small thing, but it is the kind of small thing that ends up in every season recap as fact once one outlet writes it down. We check the frames.

I do not love the all gold. It is a bit too much for me.
