Jackson names black kit as preferred Ravens uniform for 2026 season
Lamar Jackson has identified the Baltimore Ravens’ black uniform as his favourite among the newly unveiled kit options, though he cautioned that his view may shift once the team takes the field for the 2026 season.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has identified the team’s black uniform as his preferred kit option among the newly unveiled designs for the 2026 NFL season. The revelation occurred following Organised Team Activities (OTA), where Jackson initially hesitated to choose a favourite due to the fact that the updated kits have not yet been worn in a match. However, he later corrected himself, citing the "metallic type of purple" on the purple jersey as a notable feature but ultimately selecting the black look.
Speaking to the media after practice, the two-time MVP admitted he was still evaluating the different combinations. "I don't have a favorite yet, because we haven't worn them in a game, but I like them all so far," Jackson said. After a brief pause, he revised his stance. "Nope, I lied. Black might be my favourite, then purple." He specifically noted his appreciation for the metallic finish on the purple jersey, acknowledging the quality of the updated designs.
The Ravens unveiled the updated uniforms during the offseason, and the refresh has generated significant excitement among fans. Jackson’s endorsement of the black jerseys is likely to further popularise the look heading into the 2026 season. As a leader in the clubhouse, his input on the team’s visual identity carries weight, even as the squad remains in the preparatory phase of the year.
Despite his current preference, Jackson indicated that his opinion could change once the Ravens take the field for actual game conditions. "I don't know. We'll have to find out later on," he said regarding whether the black uniform will remain his favourite once the competitive season begins. The team has not yet worn the updated uniforms in a match, leaving the final assessment to be determined by on-field performance and conditions.
