NFL Introduces New Rules and Uniform Policy

The NFL is introducing significant changes in 2025, including game rules and team uniforms. At the annual meeting, the NFL approved the use of Hawk-Eye technology to improve the accuracy of first-down measurements, replacing the traditional chain system. Additionally, the league has aligned overtime rules for regular and postseason games to ensure both teams get possession. Meanwhile, the frequency of alternate or throwback uniforms has been expanded to four times per season, up from three, allowing for more variety on the field. This change is well-received by teams like the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, who have popular throwback jerseys. These updates reflect the league's responsiveness to fan and team desires and are a strategic move to boost merchandise sales.
