Cardinals Will Wear Black Uniforms in Week 5 vs Bengals /

In this story:

Arizona Cardinals

Last week, the Arizona Cardinals unveiled their all white road uniforms for the first time after wearing their home reds the first three weeks of the regular season. The Washington Commanders opted to wear white at home in Week 1 and the Cardinals hosted the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys in Weeks 3/4.

The icy whites were indeed a hit:

Earlier in the offseason, we got an up-close look at the black uniforms.

The Cardinals were spotted wearing their black helmets at practice today.

More on the black uniforms from the official uniform reveal in the offseason:

"Also unveiled were the team’s alternate uniforms that closely resemble the design of the road ones except that they are black from head to toe rather than white. Like the white road uniform, the alternate black one also features red perforated twill numerals - though outlined in silver kiss cut framis material – and its sleeves are also adorned with the same red and silver stripes and Cardinals wordmark. Similarly the black pants feature red and silver framis stripes down each side, identical to the white ones."

Both the Cardinals and Bengals are searching for their second win of the season after starting 1-3.
