After much speculation over the last several months, the Ravens have finally revealed their “Color Rush” uniforms to be worn for their nationally-televised home game against Cleveland on Nov. 10.
For the first time in franchise history, Baltimore will wear purple pants to go along with revamped purple jerseys for their Thursday night meeting with the Browns. The jerseys will feature gold numbers instead of the white one used for their regular home jerseys. The purple pants will feature a gold stripe on the sides.
The NFL began the “Color Rush” monochromatic initiative for select Thursday night games last season and has now expanded it to include all 32 teams for the 2016 season. It had even been rumored in the offseason that the Ravens would wear a uniform with a Maryland flag theme.
The Browns will wear all white for the Week 10 matchup at M&T Bank Stadium. Pittsburgh will wear an all-black uniform against the Ravens on Christmas Day.
The all-purple uniforms have already been met with mixed reviews, but they have to be better than the mustard-colored pants they introduced last December, right?
Right?

Right Now in Baltimore
Podcasts, Pearl Jam passion and the present tense with The Mayne Event
They met on the backstretch at Pimlico three decades ago and The Mayne Event always returns and never disappoints for sports, comedy, charity and why Eddie Vedder shouldn't trust Nestor. Longtime ESPNer Kenny Mayne checks in for another round of tales of wiffle ball with Ken Griffey, podcasts with the other Manning and still being pissed off about the Sonics (and Pilots) departure from Seattle.
Running back Tampa 25 years later with Ravens RB coach Matt Simon
These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field
Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
