BALTIMORE – The Baltimore Ravens will look different in Thursday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals – and not just because they’ve recently added cornerback Tre’Davious White and wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the roster.
As part of the club’s “Purple Rising” theme, the Ravens will debut a new matte purple helmet adorned with a gold facemask and “talon stripes” down the centerline plus an alternate logo featuring a forward-facing raven. It’s only the third helmet the franchise has used in its 29-season history and first that isn’t primarily black.
"I think it’s a good thing for the fans," said All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton.
"Hopefully we can get a win so we can wear them again.”
Baltimore is just the latest team to take advantage of the NFL’s relaxed rules on additional alternate helmets, a policy the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans and New York Jets, among other squads, have newly taken advantage of during the 2024 season.

"I can't wait to put them on," cornerback Arthur Maulet told the team's website.
"I'm a purple guy. I'm from New Orleans. So one of my favorite colors. Purple is for royalty and loyalty. That's king color right there. I can't wait to put (on) the purple and gold, man."
The Ravens will also wear their Color Rush uniforms, which feature purple pants and jerseys with gold numbers, on Thursday night.
