A Guide to Alternate NFL Jerseys

In addition to their standard home and away uniforms, many teams release an NFL jerseys alternate design. These special uniforms are used for a handful of games each season and have become major events for the league and fans. Alternate jerseys allow teams to experiment with new color combinations, celebrate their history with throwbacks, or create a completely new identity, like the NFL's popular "Color Rush" series.

These alternates are often among the top selling NFL jerseys each year due to their novelty and limited availability. For example, the Seattle Seahawks' "Action Green" or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' "Creamsicle" throwbacks generate significant buzz and sales. For fans, an alternate jersey offers a way to show support with a unique and often bold look that differs from the standard gear seen every Sunday. They are a key part of the modern NFL's marketing and fashion strategy.
