The Buffalo Bills debuted an alternate uniform recently during the 2026 season. This change is part of the NFL's relaxed uniform regulations, allowing teams to wear alternate jerseys and utilize multiple helmet designs. Teams can now wear alternate uniforms up to four times in the regular season, and they can carry up to three helmet designs. Additionally, the NFL's Rivalries program permits special uniforms for divisional matchups. However, playoff games will still require teams to wear standard uniforms, excluding any alternates or throwback options. The Bills' new alternate uniform showcases the league's move towards more variety in team apparel.
