[[File:Patriots 12uniforms.png|thumb|200px|The primary uniforms worn by the Patriots in the dynasty era from 2000 to 2019, including a red throwback version released in 2002, then not seen again until 2010. The pictured red throwback had minor differences from each variation from 2002, 2010–2012 before being shelved due to NFL helmet policies. The Patriots also wore red AFL-patched throwback jerseys (for the 50th anniversary of the AFL) in 2009, however those jerseys were more based on the 1961 season specific appearance.]]
In 2000, the Patriots then became one of the few teams at the time to drop the rounded numbers and switch back to block numbers. The shade of blue was switched for the first time in the franchises' history, from royal to nautical blue. The jerseys once again had the number on the shoulders while the logo moved back to the sleeves. "New Century" silver stripes were also added to the home jersey, with nautical blue stripes appearing on the away jersey. The Patriots, unsatisfied with the 1990s white-on-silver road look, also took the opportunity to introduce blue pants to be worn with the white jersey, offering a better contrast. To better match the blue pants, the number on the white jersey was switched from red to blue.<ref name="patriots.com">{{Cite web |date=2020 |title=The Evolution of the Patriots Logo and Uniform |url=https://www.patriots.com/press-room/history-logo-uniform |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200421234049/https://www.patriots.com/press-room/history-logo-uniform |archive-date=April 21, 2020 |access-date=July 19, 2022 |website=Patriots.com}}</ref>

Though the Patriots had generally worn silver pants with the blue jerseys, and navy pants with the white jerseys, they did wear an all-blue set during the 2002 season. On two consecutive home games that season, the Patriots wore blue tops with their road blue pants and white socks; they lost both games (Week 6 vs. the Packers, and Week 8 vs. the Broncos). The team would not wear an all-blue set again until the introduction of the [[NFL Color Rush|Color Rush]] uniforms in 2016.<ref name="patriots.com" />

Throughout the [[2011 New England Patriots season|2011 season]], the Patriots wore dark patches with white lettering on their uniforms with the initials 'MHK' in honor of [[Myra Kraft]], the late long-time spouse of owner Robert Kraft.<ref name="f139">{{cite web | title=Patriots will honor memory of Myra Kraft with uniform patch | website=NFL.com | date=2011-08-10 | url=https://www.nfl.com/news/patriots-will-honor-memory-of-myra-kraft-with-uniform-patch-09000d5d8215a58f | access-date=2024-08-30}}</ref>
