More than 6,000 PSL owners for the Ravens filled the Merriweather Post Pavilion as the team “finally revealed the new uniforms.” An “all-black matte helmet featuring a two-toned front-facing Ravens logo that accentuates the red eyes,” paired with their “black jerseys and pants, was the biggest showstopper among the four combinations.” Though not a complete overhaul, the remaining changes to the motif “stood out.” The new uniforms feature “color-shifting material to match a raven’s feathers, talon-striped pants, a wing pattern on the collar, and a new matte-black ‘Darkness’ helmet.” The team now sports “Baltimore” on the “front of its white jerseys, while the back collar of the purple, black and Purple Rising jerseys also includes the ‘Baltimore’ name.” Since the franchise relocated from Cleveland in 1996, most of the changes “have been minor” (BALTIMORE SUN, 4/16). Ravens SVP/Marketing Brad Downs said that the designs of “The Next Flight” “took three years to finalize and included at least 15 jersey iterations and even more helmet iterations” (BALTIMORE BANNER, 4/16).
