The Baltimore Ravens have been one of the most consistent franchises in football in more ways than one.

Since 2000, only one team (New England) has won more playoff games than the Ravens and they've earned that success in literally the same fashion: in an era of frequent uniform updates, innovations, and developments, the Ravens have donned some variation of black, purple, and white, with stylized numbers. The team's primary logo, a frowning Raven branded with the letter "B," has remained unchanged since its introduction in 1999.

There has thus been little, if any, drama surrounding the Ravens' uniform schedule but team president Sashi Brown hinted that the team is engaged in updating at least part of its wardrobe.

“We’re exploring some things with some of the alternative jerseys,” Brown said at the NFL owners' meetings in Orlando, per Gianna Han of the Baltimore Banner. "We have some stuff that’s coming, but if I said too much, my team would shoot me before I got back to the building."

While their standard home/away uniforms have remain constant, the Ravens have experimented with alternative uniforms throughout their history: a black alternate uniform was introduced in 2004 and has lingered in the rotation ever since. The most radical addition to the Ravens' closet arrived during the 2015 season, when they wore bright gold pants in a December home game against Kansas City. Baltimore later partook in the NFL's "Color Rush" promotion, which saw their purple home uniforms obtain gold numbers.

Whatever the Ravens do, it'd probably be best not to expect any form of throwback: the team's original logo, a shield bearing the letter B with wings protruding from it, has more or less been erased from history after a court ruled that it was too similar in design to an uncredited proposal from Baltimore-based security guard and amateur artist Frederick Bouchat.

Those who enjoy a more classic look or are worried about purchasing newly-branded merchandise need not worry, as Brown confirmed that there are no plans to adjust the team's standard looks.

“We feel like we have really classic jerseys, and I think the team did a great job when we’ve had some minor modifications,” Brown said in Han's report. “So we’re really cautious about making changes, something that we think really works well.”
