ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills will wear a new uniform on at least one occasion next season.
What will the color scheme be? That's unknown.
What will the helmet look like? Again, that's anyone's guess.
Here's what we know: The NFL and Nike, during the NFL Draft, revealed something called Rivalries, which promises new uniforms and fan gear that's inspired by the team's community.
"The first cohort of Rivalries teams, from the AFC East and NFC West, will wear uniforms born from local community insights during select home games against division rivals," the NFL said in a statement.
The plan is to "elevate" rivalry games during the next four years with a series that "will drive fan engagement by celebrating storied traditions and uniting communities with unique and elevated product designs."
AFC East and NFC West teams will be the first to feature these uniforms, and that will come next season.
While no one knows what the uniforms will look like, the NFL said the "Rivalries" games will be announce some time after the May 14 full schedule release. These uniforms will be worn in each of the next three seasons after that, too.
"Each participating team will wear a unique Rivalries uniform with designs rooted extensively in local community insights during a single home game against a division rival," the NFL said. "The designs have been brought to life by pulling inspiration from the history of each market and the aspects of the community that only that team’s city embodies."
And yes, if you would like to spend money, jerseys and apparel will be made available.
