Fashion changes with the seasons, but “seasons” has a much different meaning in the NFL.

Baltimore’s Marching Ravens haven’t had a new look since the 2008 season. That changes this Sunday, as the Marching Ravens will debut new uniforms at the M&T Bank Stadium home opener against the Miami Dolphins.

It will be the ninth different uniform since 1947, when the Baltimore Colts’ Marching Band was founded. Band uniforms usually last about 7-8 years, said President John Ziemann, but the Ravens take such good care of theirs that they’ve held up much longer.

About six years ago, a committee began conversations to work on the new uniforms, but COVID slowed down the process. Now the uniforms are ready, and the Marching Ravens couldn’t be more excited to debut them.

“The Ravens felt it was time for a change and upgrade,” Ziemann said. “We wanted to make sure we got it right – and we did. They look great.”

The uniforms have a much more modern look. The biggest difference that fans will notice is the incorporation of the Maryland flag with the Ravens’ colors.

The uniforms were once again designed and produced by Stanbury Uniforms, who Ziemann called “the best in the world.” It’s the fifth time they’ve made the Marching Ravens’ uniforms.
