The midway point of the 2024-25 season is here, and while most of Week 9’s matchups feature teams in their standard home or road uniforms, there are a handful of throwback designs on the schedule.

That includes the New York Giants breaking out their 1980-99 throwback uniforms for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders, marking the third straight year they’ll make an appearance against their NFC East rival.

The uniforms feature a navy blue helmet with an underlined and italicized “Giants” wordmark on both sides, a royal blue jersey with a classic striping pattern on the collar and cuffs and white pants with red and blue stripes. 

New York is 3-0-1 in the throwback uniforms since they debuted two years ago, including victories over the Chicago Bears in 2022 and the Commanders and Green Bay Packers in 2023. They also tied with Washington in 2022.

Elsewhere in the division, the Philadelphia Eagles will wear their Kelly green throwback uniforms on Sunday afternoon against the Jacksonville Jaguars, marking their third straight appearance against an AFC opponent. 

The uniforms replicate the Randall Cunningham and Reggie White era, with Kelly green helmets and Kelly green jerseys featuring white block numbers outlined in black and the Eagles’ 1987-95 alternate logo on the sleeves.

Philadelphia went 2-0 in the throwback uniforms after unveiling them prior to last season, including wins over the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills. They’ll also be worn later this season against the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 29. 

Keeping with the theme, the Green Bay Packers will wear their 1950s throwback uniforms during Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, marking their first appearance against an NFC North divisional opponent.

The uniforms are reminiscent of what the Packers wore from 1950-53, with green jerseys featuring gold numbers and two gold stripes on the sleeves, green pants with a single gold stripe down the sides and green socks with stripes that match the sleeves. 

The Packers are 2-1 in the throwback threads since they were unveiled, including wins over the Washington Football Team in 2021 and Los Angeles Chargers last season. Their lone loss came at the hands of the New York Jets in 2022.

The weekend will end with visual rematch of Super Bowl LV, with the Kansas City Chiefs wearing their standard home uniforms when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – who will wear their road white jerseys and pewter pants – on Monday Night Football.

Interestingly, the Buccaneers were considered the home team in that matchup, which they won 31-9, but chose to wear their white jerseys in the Super Bowl after having success in that combination throughout the 2020-21 playoffs.
