The uniform had features a fan wouldn’t be able to see by the naked eye. There was a hidden message inside the collar. On red fabric, the words “We Are All Patriots” were stitched into white lettering.

“At the heart of the look is a deep Storm Blue base – rugged, weathered, and worn in, like the coastline after a gale,” an infographic on the Patriots’ website said. “The color reflects both the unforgiving power of the nor’easters and the perseverance of the people who face them head-on.”
