Did Patriots tease major uniform change for 2025 season?
Are the New England Patriots teasing a uniform change for the 2025 season?
Fans are asking the question following footage of players wearing grey game pants instead of the navy bottoms for their pictures at Wednesday's media day.
The Patriots wore the grey pants throughout the Tom Brady era. That look has become synonymous with the previous success of the franchise that won six Super Bowls in Brady's near 20-year run. You can trace the origin of the look as far back as 1993, when the Flying Elvis era began.
The Patriots moved to the navy bottoms to kick-start the post-Brady era in 2020. However, one has to wonder if they are considering a more permanent comeback for the grey pants.
A change in uniform isn't going to magically make the Patriots a better football team, but there's hope they can draw on history and tradition to aid in their confidence in 2025. Perhaps that would be enough to help them get back to their winning ways.

NFL Fining 100-Plus Players for Selling Super Bowl Tickets Above Face Value
The NFL is fining about 100 players and 24 club employees for violating league policy by selling Super Bowl LIX tickets for above face value, a person with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press on Friday. The person, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said the players who resold their tickets will have to pay a fine of 1 1/2 times the face value they paid. They also won't be permitted to buy tickets for the next two Super Bowls unless they are playing in the game. Club employees who violated the policy will be fined two times face value. In a memo sent to teams and obtained by the AP, NFL head of compliance Sabrina Perel said the league was still completing its investigation. "Our initial investigation has determined that a number of NFL players and coaches, employed by several NFL clubs, sold Super Bowl tickets for more than the ticket's face value in violation of the Policy. This long-standing League Policy, which is specifically incorporated into the Collective Bargaining Agreement, prohibits League or Club employees, including players, from selling NFL game tickets acquired from their employer for more than the ticket's face value or for an amount greater than the employee originally paid for the ticket, whichever is less. "We are in the process of completing our investigation into this matter, but the investigation has revealed that club employees and players sold their tickets to a small number of 'bundlers' who were working with a ticket reseller to sell the Super Bowl tickets above face value." The "bundlers" will face increased penalties, per the memo. According to the CBA, players on all 32 teams can purchase two tickets for the Super Bowl. "In advance of Super Bowl LX, we will be enhancing the mandatory compliance training regarding the Policy for all League personnel, which will emphasize the specific requirements of the Policy and the broader principle that no one should profit personally from their NFL affiliation at the expense of our fans," Perel said in the memo. "We will also increase the penalties for future violations of this Policy. All clubs must ensure their personnel understand and comply with this policy. Additional details regarding the enhanced compliance measures will be provided in early fall." The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9 in a Super Bowl rematch from two years ago. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Keion White ready to put on pads and bring violence to Patriots training camp
Keion White isn't one to sugarcoat anything. The Patriots defensive end wants to hit someone on the football field, and he wanted to do it yesterday. White didn't get to hit anyone on Friday, as the third day of Patriots training camp in Foxboro was just a walkthrough. He won't do it over the weekend either, with another un-padded practice on Saturday before players get their first day off of camp on Sunday. But on Monday, everyone will don pads for the first time this summer. Then the real fun begins for White and the New England defense. "I hope they run the ball every play," White said of his offensive counterparts. Hopes are high for the New England defense heading into its first season under new head coach Mike Vrabel and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams. There is loads of potential with the group thanks to the offseason additions of Milton Williams, Harold Landry, Robert Spillane, and Carlton Davis, who are joining star corner Christian Gonzalez, Christian Barmore, and White on the New England D. But White says hype isn't worth anything if players don't go out and prove it when they're on the field. And he wants perfection from the defense and himself on each and every play. "From a defensive standpoint, I don't want the offense to get one yard. Anything more than that is a loss," he said Friday. "That's what a dominant defense looks like, and that should be the expectation. Yeah, they're going to get yards on plays. But I feel the standard should be negative yards on every play." New England had the worst pass rush in the NFL last season, with a league-low 28 sacks for the season. White had five of those sacks, but four of them came in the first two weeks of the season. He can be an absolute wrecking ball off the line, but last year's staff wanted White to focus more on setting the edge and reading and reacting to the offense in front of him. Vrabel's defensive approach is much different, and White is eager to get going. "Leading with violence is always my type of stuff, so whenever I can do that and not read as much, it's definitely beneficial for me," he said. It's no secret that White was not a fan of last year's regime in New England. He said back in June: "Now, I feel have a coach." It was quite the shot at Jerod Mayo. But how does White feel about Vrabel now that they're a few days into training camp? "My biggest working relationship is whether we're winning or losing. That's big for me and then you go from there," he said. "Is he a good coach, and how can he make me better? That's the biggest relationship I have." White was asked if he considers Vrabel, who was pretty good at getting after quarterbacks during his playing days, a good coach. "I think he's a pretty good coach," replied White, adding, "Because he helps me get better." Vrabel is a no-nonsense guy himself, and had a lot of praise for White ahead of Friday's practice. "I love Keion's attitude. He's a worker," said Vrabel. "He's here early and has a routine that works for him. He practices hard and he's conditioned. I think he's got a great attitude and I love coaching him. He's very receptive and a coachable player." Now just imagine the conversations between Vrabel and White. As both relayed Friday, it's all about football. "Technique and how to get better. For real," said White. "What do I need to do on the field, what does he see, what do I see, and how to improve on that." "Keion, there is not a lot of fluff to him," said Vrabel. "Our conversations are mostly -- he wants to talk football. That is his profession, his career, his passion. We talk a lot of football and I've enjoyed getting to know him."
