Who could ever forget Tom Brady‘s legendary run with the Patriots? His incredible contributions until 2019 still warm fans’ hearts, and the community continues to celebrate his impact on the sport. Patriots fans often find themselves wishing they could rewind to the magic of the early 2000s. And, Mike Reiss might have some thrilling news for those fans!

In a recent revelation, Reiss shared that Robert Kraft has a nostalgic surprise for the upcoming season. Kraft is bringing back the iconic red throwback uniforms for at least one game, possibly more. And that’s not all—these beloved red jerseys will be paired with classic silver pants! Patriots’ insiders are gearing up to give fans a major blast from the past. Exciting, right?

The Patriots’ uniform from 2000 to 2019, featuring royal blue jerseys and silver pants, became synonymous with a golden era led by Tom Brady. Stepping up in Drew Bledsoe’s absence, Brady led the team to 6 Super Bowl victories, with those silver pants witnessing the Patriots’ ascendancy to the top of the NFL world.

This move is expected to rekindle memories of the Brady era and remind everyone of the team’s triumphant history. For fans, it’s a delightful journey down memory lane, promising to bring back the electrifying vibes of the Patriots’ golden years. Well, according to Reiss, the Patriots have yet to confirm the expected date of their return in the throwback uniform.

Patriots fans might brace more than Brady nostalgia sooner or later

Remember the last time they rocked the throwback look? That was in two 2023 games, one against the Miami Dolphins and another against the Buffalo Bills. Fan reactions were unanimous: the Brady era, symbolized by those iconic silver pants, is sorely missed. The question now is, when will we see the team back in their glory colors?

While the exact game is still under wraps, we can’t overlook the Patriots’ training schedule. From July 24 to August 13, the team will be training with the presence of 14 former Patriot players, adding an extra layer of nostalgia. The first training camp practice kicks off on Wednesday on the grass fields behind Gillette Stadium. These outdoor practices are open to the public and free to attend, promising a nostalgic flair with the potential return of the silver pants. Is Kraft’s team planning to take fans down memory lane sooner rather than later?

Only time will tell. As the spotlight shines on the current roster and coaching staff prepping for the upcoming season, head coach Jerod Mayo will also welcome 14 former Patriots. Here’s the rundown of who will be there and when:

• July 24 – Rob Ninkovich and Ted Johnson
