Jaguars officially go back to teal uniforms

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jaguars have officially switched their primary home color from black to teal.

The Jaguars wore teal jerseys at home from the franchise’s inception in 1995 in their game against the Green Bay Packers all the way through the 2012 season. Owner Shad Khan announced the alternate black jerseys would become the Jaguars’ primary look and that they would only wear teal on special occasions. The team will now revert back to the teal uniforms beginning in the 2021 season.

“We’ve heard the fans loud and clear,” Head Equipment Manager Jimmy Luck said in a press release.  “As the only team in the NFL that wears teal, we know what this color means to our organization, the 904 and our entire fanbase. Teal inspires great memories of some of our franchise’s greatest moments.  Making the switch to teal as our primary uniform color allows us to celebrate that history while kicking off a new era of Jaguars football.”

This comes after several social media hints. On Monday, the Jaguars social media team encoded the phrase “Teal is Primary” in a series of tweets and on Tuesday issued a challenge to fans to garner 21,000 retweets to make the switch official. The goal was reached in 24 hours.
