Alternate jerseys and the league calendar
Alternate games move through the season, so a design you see on TV may be worn only once more. The November alternate uniforms page lists the next games, including a Dolphins–Bills Rivalries game on November 22. Check it before you pick a team.
Remember that a team's alternate set is not always new. Seattle, for example, wears royal blue throwbacks, and the Bills added a gray alternate called Nickel City. See each team page for the full set and sizes.
Sizes and construction
Nike jerseys on our store come in men's sizes, with women's and youth sizes where listed, so check the size chart before you order. Game jerseys use screen-printed numbers, and Limited jerseys use stitched numbers.
