The New England Patriots will go back to their navy and silver jersey combination for their Week 12 road game against the Miami Dolphins. The team announced the look on Friday via a social media post.
The Patriots using their navy-silver combo on Sunday will mark the third time this season they have gone back to what was their primary look between 2000 and 2019. They also wore that same outfit in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks and in Week 11 versus the Los Angeles Rams.
Looking at their jersey decisions throughout the year so far, we can see that navy-silver is now the second most-used look behind the classic white-navy road combination:
- White-navy (4): Weeks 1, 3, 4, 9
- Navy-silver (3): Weeks 2, 11, 12
- White-silver (2): Weeks 7, 10
- All-navy (2): Weeks 5, 8
- Red throwback (1): Week 6
The Patriots made the switch to all-navy as their primary look in 2020, but they have only worn it twice so far this year — a possible sign of things to come.
