Pat Patriot is officially back! After a 10-year hiatus, the New England Patriots’ classic red-and-white look will return to the gridiron: as was announced by the organization on Wednesday, it will be wearing its red throwback jerseys at one point this fall.
No throwback games have been announced yet, but the teaser clip shared on social media will certainly leave fans both nostalgic and excited:
A rule change in 2013 prevented the Patriots from wearing their throwbacks over the last 10 years. With teams no longer allowed to wear multiple sets of helmets during one single season, throwback looks such as the one worn by New England became outlawed: the Pat Patriot uniforms used a white helmet compared to the silver one worn by the team as part of its regular setup.
