In one of the photos, you can see what appears to be a newly-designed Patriots alternate logo:

Nothing has been announced by the organization or reported by prominent NFL insiders, but several folks on social media are already assuming that the Patriots will indeed reveal a new alternate logo:

The Patriots finally addressed the rumors on X/Twitter by posting this hilarious meme:

And now social media is losing their minds, completely unsure of what to believe:

The Patriots changed their jerseys before the 2020 season, following Tom Brady’s departure for Tampa Bay. The “Flying Elvis” logo has remained intact, however, and there’s no reason to believe they’re suddenly going to drop it after 30 years (and counting).

New England was football’s golden franchise in the Brady-Bill Belichick era, winning six Super Bowls and nine AFC Championships. Given how iconic and historically significant the current logo is, the Patriots know they have no reason to retire it.

A Brand New Era Of New England Patriots Football

For the first time since 1999, the New England Patriots enter a season without the legendary Bill Belichick roaming the sidelines.

Belichick and the Patriots parted ways following a miserable 4-13 season, the franchise’s worst record since 1992. It also marked the third time in four years that the Pats finished with a losing season and missed out on the playoffs.

Belichick was replaced by Jerod Mayo, a former Pro Bowl linebacker who spent five seasons as the Patriots’ inside linebackers coach before being promoted. Mayo played for the Pats from 2008 to 2015, earning two Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl ring in the 2014 season.

The event, hosted by Kevin Hart, also featured appearances from other notable celebrities like Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Kim Kardashian and Jeff Ross.

Belichick, who coached Brady for 20 seasons in New England from 2000 to 2019, did not waste time getting the audience fired up. Before roasting Brady, the 72-year-old took aim at Patriots owner Robert Kraft with a ruthless shot at his former employer:

“I’m so honored to be here for the roast of Tom Brady on Netflix, not to be confused with the roast of Bill Belichick on the 10 Part doc.”

For those unfamiliar, Apple TV+ produced a 10-part series on the Patriots’ two-decade run of dominance called “The Dynasty.” Many fans and former Patriots players were highly critical of the docuseries, believing it was meant to paint Belichick in a bad light.

After waiting for several weeks, fans finally got a response from Bill Belichick, who’s known for being a man of very few words. Though it’s unlikely to happen, it sure would be fun to see Mr. Kraft respond to this roast…

Bill Belichick, Tom Brady & Robert Kraft Made History Together

It’s well-known by now that Belichick’s relationships with Brady and Kraft did not end on the best of notes. But this doesn’t take away the unprecedented history and run of success the three enjoyed together in New England.

The Patriots won six Super Bowls over a 17-year span from 2001 to 2018. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the only other NFL franchise to have won six Super Bowls, and they did it over a 34-year period from 1974 to 2008.

From 2001 to 2019, the Patriots had only winning seasons and won their division every year except 2002 and 2008. They reached nine Super Bowls over that two-decade run of dominance and had double-digit wins every season from 2003 to 2019. In short, you aren’t going to see a period of historic greatest like that ever again.
