The New England Patriots announced on Friday that their iconic throwback jersey will make a return this year. The Red Throwback Jersey is all set to be worn after a decade since it was last used in 2012, according to the Patriots’ Hall of Fame.
Following a change in regulations in 2013, the Patriots could no longer wear their iconic uniform. Since then, NFL Teams have only had permission to use one pair of helmets every season. Changes between two different colored ones became outlawed. As a result, it stopped the throwback outfits like the ones used by New England.
