History of Ravens Uniforms
The Ravens will roll out a new uniform collection for the 2026 season. Here's the full evolution of the Ravens' uniforms over the last 30 seasons.

1996 - The Ravens took the field for their first home game in 1996 wearing purple jerseys, black pants and a black helmet. The jerseys featured white numbers outlined in gold, a black collar and white nameplates. Numbers were also displayed on the shoulders above the sleeves decorated with a flying raven. The black pants had a white stripe down the side of the leg with the Ravens shield logo sitting on the right hip. The helmet featured the Ravens' original logo on both sides.

1996 - The original road uniform consisted of the same pants and helmet but instead the Ravens wore a white jersey with purple-block numbers.

1997 - The Ravens updated the font on the jersey numbers and added a black drop shadow. The home jersey was paired with white pants that had a black and purple stripe down the side.
