The uniform had features that a fan couldn’t see with the naked eye. There was a hidden message inside the necklace. On red cloth, the words “We are all patriots” were sewn in white letters.
“At the center of the look is a deep storm blue base: rugged, weathered and weathered, like the coast after a windstorm,” an infographic on the Patriots’ website read. “The color reflects both the relentless power of nor’easters and the perseverance of the people who face them head-on.”
