The Baltimore Ravens will debut the team’s new purple helmets against an AFC North foe.
The Ravens will wear the alternate helmets on Nov. 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10 of the 2024 season, the team announced on Wednesday.
Baltimore introduced the new look on June 18, which features gold facemasks as well as a secondary logo on each side.
“The reaction to our ‘Purple Rising’ helmet launch from both players and fans was extremely positive,” Ravens Senior Vice President of Marketing Brad Downs said, per the announcement. “We can’t wait to debut it in front of a national audience and huge Baltimore crowd this November.”
Baltimore has clashed with Cincinnati at the top of the division throughout the past few seasons, as both teams have combined to win five of the past six AFC North titles. The Ravens are coming off a 13-4 finish in 2023, while the Bengals missed the playoffs after posting a 9-8 record.
Eric DeCosta, Baltimore’s general manager, has been busy throughout free agency. Although defensive starters such as linebacker Patrick Queen and safety Geno Stone departed, the Ravens were able to extend the contract of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Justin Madubuike.
Baltimore also made one of the most notable moves of the offseason, signing Derrick Henry to a two-year, $16 million deal in March.
As the Ravens attempt to defend their status atop the AFC North with Lamar Jackson leading the way, they’ll showcase their new alternate helmets against a division rival.
