Overview
- Arizona became the first team to wear a Rivalries uniform, unveiling its desert-themed look against the Seahawks on Sept. 25 at State Farm Stadium.
- The Cardinals’ set features a sand-speckled texture with tan, red and copper accents, an Arizona outline with a reimagined state flag on the sleeve, and a sandblasted matte helmet with a 3D logo and copper beak.
- To match the one-off presentation, the field featured a sand-toned Cardinal at midfield and end zones painted in the Arizona state flag design.
- The 2025 rollout covers the NFC West and AFC East, and the next on-field debut comes Monday when the Dolphins face the Jets in Miami’s deep-blue Rivalries look.
- An April rule change expanded teams’ alternate-uniform opportunities to four games, while Rivalries sets are limited to one appearance this season; early reaction to Arizona’s design has been largely positive, though some critiques target the sand-speckle treatment.
