After a decade-long absence, the iconic and fan-favorite “Pat Patriot” red home jerseys worn during the first 30 years of New England Patriots football will be returning to the field next season.
On Friday, the Patriots Hall of Fame first confirmed the news via a tweet in response to a fan question regarding throwback jerseys coming back.
We will! The throwback jerseys (red) are coming back in 2022. Last season they were worn was 2012.
