The Baltimore Ravens will debut their new “Purple Rising” alternate helmets during Thursday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime.
The metallic purple helmets feature a gold facemask, gold “talon” stripes down the middle, the Ravens’ front-facing secondary logo on the sides and their wordmark on the front and back bumpers.
This marks the first alternate helmet in Baltimore’s history, as the franchise has only worn black helmets since it relocated from Cleveland and rebranded to the Ravens in 1996.
They did, however, update the logo on the sides of their black helmets in 1999 after an amateur artist sued the franchise for copyright infringement after they used his design without credit.
The new purple alternate helmets will be paired with Baltimore’s all-purple Color Rush uniforms, which follow the same design as their standard home jerseys but include predominantly gold numbers.
The Ravens are 4-2 in their Color Rush uniforms, which are complete with purple pants with gold and white stripes down the sides and purple socks, since they debuted during the 2016 season.
