Three of the four teams in the AFC East — the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots — have no uniform changes for the 2024 NFL Season. But that’s OK, because the New York Jets make up for the entire division, with new primary, alternate and throwback uniforms. Read on for more!

This is the first of an eight-part series (one for each NFL Division) covering all the uniform news for the 2024 season.

Buffalo Bills

The Bills have no announced uniform changes for 2024. In fact, the Bills have not released any kind of jersey schedule (although not all clubs do), but they are expected to wear their blues at home and whites on the road.

The team has a red Color Rush uniform they will likely wear at least once (last year they only wore it one time).

The Bills still technically have a throwback uniform featuring the standing red buffalo on the helmet as an option, but they have not worn them since the 2021 season.

After teasing a red alternate helmet in 2022, and then a blue helmet last year during scrimmages, this year Josh Allen teased a black helmet. None of these are alternates, and the Bills will wear white shells all season long.

There have been rumors about the Bills getting either new uniforms or an alternate helmet in 2025, but nothing is confirmed.

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins have no announced uniform changes for 2024.

The team will wear both their throwback uniforms once this season. They will don their aqua throwbacks in Week 2 (September 12) as they face the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. Then, they’ll sport their classic white throwbacks two months later on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, when they face the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 13.

Although not Dolphins uniform news, it’s rumored MLS squad Inter Miami will introduce a Dolphins-inspired uniform in aqua and orange. The kit is said to look like this.

And for everyone who says of the throwbacks, “Just make those permanent!” there is yet again bad news. Dolphins owner Steven Ross continues to oppose such a move, and the throwbacks will remain throwbacks for yet another year.

New England Patriots

The Patriots have no announced uniform changes this season.

The team continues to dabble with silver/gray pants (as seen above). They debuted them in 2022, wearing them once in a MNF loss, and wore them twice last year, once in a Week 7 win, and then again in a Week 8 loss. Fans and people with eyes continue to hope the team will wear them again (and with more frequency) in 2024. Not that pre-season means anything, but the Pats have only worn their blue pants so far.

Although nothing has as yet been confirmed, the (very reliable) Gridiron Uniform Database lists the Patriots as wearing their throwback uniforms twice. Once in Week 11 (November 17) against the LA Rams, and again two weeks later in Week 13 (December 1) against the Colts. There is nothing on the Patriots website regarding throwback dates for 2024. The throwbacks, of course, feature “Pat Patriot” on a white helmet, with a red jersey and white pants.

There were some rumors over the summer that the Patriots might wear a Flying Elvis throwback, although those appear to have been just that: rumors.

It’s hard to believe, but the Patriots are on their fifth year for this version of their Flying Elvis uniforms, so, in theory, the team could get new uniforms in 2025. While much of the decline in play can be attributed to Tom Brady leaving the team just before the Patriots introduced their new uniforms (though he did wear a very similar uniform when the Pats had a Color Rush uniform), fans have almost universally panned the current uniform set. So perhaps this will be its final season.

New York Jets

The big uniform news for the AFC east is the New York Jets, who have an entire new set of uniforms for the season, including a special throwback they’ll wear once. As you can see in the above photo, the team is basically throwing back to their “New York Sack Exchange” days. And they’ll have more options than they did when they previously wore this set.

In addition to the green jersey, white jersey and white pants they’ll hopefully wear the most, they will also have a set of green pants. And, because it’s the Jets, they’ll also have a full BFBS uniform as an alternate.

But wait! That’s not all.

In addition to the three new uniforms, the Jets are also going to be wearing their “Super Bowl III” uniforms as a throwback for one game.

They’ll wear this uniform on October 14 (Week 6). This is a big Monday Night Football matchup against division rival Buffalo.

The team has also announced they will wear their all black uniforms on Hallowe’en Night (Week 9), in a Thursday Night Football primetime matchup against the Houston Texans.
