2023 NFL uniforms, ranked: 13 teams' new regular, alternate, and throwback uniforms for this season

• The 2023 NFL season will include new looks for 13 teams.

• Some teams got new uniforms, several added a new helmet, and a few brought back some classic throwbacks.

• We ranked the teams from "chef's kiss" to "what were they thinking?"

We are closing in on the new NFL season, and nearly half of the teams will have a new look this season in some capacity.

During the offseason, 13 teams announced new uniforms, a new helmet, or brought back a classic throwback look to be worn in select games.

Below we have collected the changes that have already been confirmed and ranked them.

13. Indianapolis Colts' new "Indiana Nights" uniform with a black alternate helmet

You get a black helmet! You get a black helmet! You get a black helmet!

It seems like every NFL team is getting a black helmet just for the sake of getting a black helmet, even though it is often not part of their color scheme. To make matter worse in this case is that the uniform is boring. It looks like a uniform that would be worn by a mid-major college football team.

12. Arizona Cardinals' new simplified uniforms

These aren't any more exciting than the Colts' college-like unis. These are at least an upgrade over their overly busy previous set.

11. The Detroit Lions' new blue helmet with old-school logo

This new blue helmet will be worn with the all-grey uniforms, which was just too much grey and silver at once. But while classic logos can be fun, there is a reason this one was mothballed by the team. It looks like a middle-school project.

10. The Carolina Panthers' tweaked uniform color

It may be hard to tell, but the blue is a little darker. Nike could not produce the correct version of "process blue" until now. Most fans won't even notice the difference, so this feels like a big "meh."

9. The Vikings' "classic" jersey and helmet

While not a "throwback" to a specific era, this jersey "borrows design elements from some of the Vikings' earliest uniforms," according to the team.

The larger numbers with a more traditional font and gold trim are a nice classic touch. The sleeves also have their original classic striping. Meanwhile, the helmet has a larger horn logo and a traditional grey facemask. However, like the Panthers, few fans are going to notice much of a difference.

8. The Cleveland Browns' new white alternate helmet that will be worn with a white throwback jersey

While most teams are adding a black helmet, it is fun to see a couple of teams go in the other direction. This all-white look contrasts nicely with the black and orange accents.

7. The Broncos' new all-white helmet with the team's classic D logo

NFL fans have been begging the team to bring back their old D logo, and now we get it, although it is on a white shell instead of the classic blue. The Broncos are one of a few teams that would be better off going back to their old look full-time, but this is at least a step in the right direction.

6. The New York Jets' new "throwback" uniform

According to the team, the new "legacy white" uniform will not be a full-fledged throwback. Rather, it is a "modernized version of arguably the franchise's most popular uniform combination that will take fans back to the 'Sack Exchange Era' of the 1980s."

If Jets fans are lucky, this will someday replace their current regular uniform.

5. The Buffalo Bills' red helmet and Super Bowl-era uniforms (maybe)

We have to put an asterisk here since this change is not confirmed yet. Former Bills wide receiver Andre Reed may have spilled the beans on Twitter when he wrote, "Sundays will be even more sweet with Bills wearing our throwbacks."

While the Bills don't need to bring these back full-time, it would be fun to see the red helmet back on the field from time to time.

4. The Seattle Seahawks' throwback uniforms

The Seahawks have embraced their role as the NFL's wildest-looking team, and there is no sign that is going to change anytime soon. However, there was a time when they had one of the prettiest uniform sets in the game. Luckily for us, it is coming back on a limited basis.

3. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' throwback creamsicle uniforms

As a Bucs fan, all I can say is the orange is back and Bucco Bruce is back on the side of the Bucs' helmets!

This might be the uniform set that a lot of NFL fans are most excited to see. However, most of those fans forget why the team ditched them in the mid-90s. At the time, the Bucs were one of the worst teams in sports history and the unique orange look had become associated with losing.

2. The Tennessee Titans' Houston Oilers throwback uniforms

The Titans, who used to be the Houston Oilers, are bringing back the Oilers' look this season, including a game against the new Houston team, the Texans.

Based on pure looks, this should be No. 1 on the list. However, there is still something weird about the Titans wearing the throwbacks of a team that never played in Nashville. To make matters worse, they are reminding the fans in Houston that not only did they lose their team to Tennessee, they also lost one of the most gorgeous uniforms in NFL history.

1. The Philadelphia Eagles' kelly green throwback uniforms

The new uniforms will be based on the set worn during the Randall Cunningham era from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Everything about them is perfect, including the photo shoot in an era-appropriate locker room. Please, Eagles, just make these the regular uniform. I might hate your team a little less.
