The Patriots' primary uniforms remained largely unchanged from the franchises' inaugural season until 1993. The Patriots originally wore red jerseys with white block numbering at home, and white jerseys with red block numbering on the road. Both uniforms used white pants and white helmets, first with the hat logo over the player's number, then with the "Pat Patriot" logo starting in 1961.<ref name="Uniform History">{{cite web|url=http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/fall05/brownlee/patriots.html|title=History of NFL Uniforms: New England Patriots|publisher=National Football League|access-date=August 26, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161023165836/http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/fall05/brownlee/patriots.html|archive-date=October 23, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> A blue stripe was added to the two red helmet stripes in 1964.<ref name="Uniform History"/> The numbers on both the home and away jerseys gained a blue outline in 1973.<ref name="Uniform History"/> In 1979, the Patriots began the first of many sporadic runs of wearing red pants with the white jerseys.<ref name="Uniform History"/> The red pants were dropped in 1981, but returned in 1984.
