After being treated to a veritable smörgåsbord of really great uniform matchups in Week 5, Sunday’s games this week won’t feature nearly as much eye candy. The Patriots will wear their Pat Patriot throwbacks and the Carolina Panthers will be debuting a brand new combo (and wait till you see what pants they’ve chosen), but for the most part, the games won’t look as nice as last week. All uniform combos below are shown up-to-date as of 6:45 pm ET, but there are stll a few teams who haven’t announced their pants/socks. I’ll update this post if anything changes.

Maybe Sunday’s games won’t be great (or at least as good as last week), but Monday night will feature the New York Jets wearing their Super Bowl throwbacks (I’ll have more to say on that on Monday). Scroll on for this week’s pairings…

Jaguars vs. Bears

The Jags are back in London to take on the Bears. White jerseys over black pants/hosiery for Duval, while the Bears will wear their normal home uniforms. At least the Brits will see the Bears in their home Sunday best.

Cardinals vs. Packers

This one has the potential to be a great looking game, with the Packers in their beautiful green and gold againt the Cardinals in their mono-whites. Sure, the Cardinals white uniforms can use a few tweaks (like swapping black for silver on the stripes), but it’s otherwise a pretty solid uni.

Eagles vs. Browns

This game should look fine, although it will be awfully white below the waist. The Eagles are going with their now standard green/green/white/white combo, and the Browns are in their classic orange/white/white duds. Probably not a Top 5 matchup, but a good one. I would have preferred the Browns to have gone with orange britches.

Texans vs. Patriots

The Patriots will be breaking out their fantastic throwbacks this Sunday. The Texans will counter with their white jerseys and blue pants, with blue hosiery. This might look ok, although the Texans road uni with all-navy below the waist isn’t their best look. We’ll need to see this one on the field.

Colts vs. Titans

Contrast will be no problem in this game, with the Colts in all white (hopefully with royal blue hose), while the Titans will be sporting their mono-navy duds.

Buccaneers vs. Saints

Yet again, the Saints will wear their black pants and socks with their black jerseys — as I mention often, the team wore their gold pants for all three preseason games, but have yet to wear them in the regular season. The Bucs haven’t announced their pants as of yet, but maybe they’ll go with their white set. Going with pewter pants is a better look for them, but it might not be for this matchup.

Commanders vs. Ravens

As of this writing, the Commanders haven’t revealed their pants preference, but with the Ravens going purple over white, Washington in burgundy slacks and white hose would probably be the best matchup. It could look pretty good, actually.

Steelers vs. Raiders

Whenever these two teams hook up, we’re almost always guaranteed a great looking game, and on Sunday, they’ll both be in their Sunday best. With just a few minor tweaks and with obvious concessions to new uniform design and cuts, this game will look very much like one played decades ago. And that’s a good thing. This one is almost assuredly in the Top 5, it’s just a question of where.

Chargers vs. Broncos

If only the Broncos had chosen to wear their Orange Crush throwbacks for three games, instead of two, this would be the game. Unfortunately, their third alternate game will be against the Browns in Week 13, when they will hopefully choose the least awful combo (IMO white/blue/orange, but none of them look good). So they’ll be in blue hats and orange jerseys, but have yet to declare their pants. They’ve yet to wear anything but white pants and socks with the new orange shirt, but will they decide to go orange/orange/orange or orange/blue/blue for the first time? Either way, hopefully the Chargers go white over gold.

Falcons vs. Panthers

Welp. We learned earlier this week the Panthers would be debuting a never-before-worn combination against the Dirty Birds, but we didn’t know until a short while ago what pants and socks they’d be wearing with the black helmet and Process Blue jersey. They’re going black/blue/blue/black, which is certainly an interesting sartorial decision. And the Falcons will counter with black/white/black/white, a combo they wore in the preseason this year. This will definitely be an odd pairing that could turn out awful. At least the only color element they’ll have in common is the black helmet. But before I trash this pairing, I need to see it on the field.

Lions vs. Cowboys

The Lions will be wearing their silver helmets and white shirts, but haven’t yet declared their pants. Their best combo for this game might actually be their blue pants and white socks, which would provide decent contrast between the two teams. With the Cowboys pairing their white pants with the silver helmet/navy blue shirt, the Lions in Honolulu Blue/white below the waist could push Top-5 status. Maybe. And I’m not getting my hopes up either.

Bengals vs. Giants

Here’s a case where both teams have very solid uniforms, but may not look so great when paired together. We actually had a similar looking matchup between the two back in 2020 (Cincy was home, wearing their then-Color Rush uniform). It’s not terrible by any means, and this time all the Bengals will be in black hose. This might sneak into the Top 5.
