It’s already Week 2, and the Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for an early afternoon matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fresh off a 27-20 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, the Ravens are pumped to be back home, playing in front of the NFL’s most dedicated fans.
The stadium is set to be buzzing. The Ravens are hosting the 0-1 Raiders, who are also chasing their first win of the 2024 NFL season after a tough 22-10 defeat by the Los Angeles Chargers. If the Ravens play up to their potential, they should be able to handle the Raiders with ease.
Though the Raiders may not seem like the stiffest competition, the Ravens need to stay sharp. A 0-2 start to the season could be tough to recover from. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the action. Grab your favorite jersey and be the ultimate Ravens fan this gameday!
The Ravens will wear their Home purple jersey with white pants Week 2 against Raiders
While they're not as clean as the all-white uniforms they sported opening week, the purple top jersey and white pants still pop. It's just something about that purple when it hits the white, it just looks nasty. Who knew purple could look so mean?
The Ravens officially announced their jersey selection this past Thursday.
While the Ravens already know they'll look good today, the bigger storyline is the historical success the Ravens have with these jersey colors, specifically against the Raiders.
Ravens purple jersey and white pants history
The Ravens are 3-1 against the Raiders when they're in purple and white. It's a trend this iteration of Ravens players hopes to continue.
There's no denying that the Ravens score points when they wear this combo against the Silver and Black. On average, the Flock scores 31 points per game. If you disregard the '98 game, that point-per-game average skyrockets to 37.
Expect the Ravens to find some of that 2012 mojo when they hung 55 points on the Raiders. If last week's showing against the Chargers is indicative of what's to come, the Ravens should score points in bunches while also keeping the Raiders off the scoreboard.
Still unsure if the jersey combo doesn't guarantee scoring results? Take a look at the Ravens' last three home openers, where each time they wore the purple jersey and white pants combo they're wearing today.
It's obvious the Ravens put on an offensive showing when they're rocking this kit. In their past three home openers, the Ravens are 2-1 while averaging 33 points per game. It's an impressive feat and one that should continue against a lowly Raiders team lacking an identity.
Regardless, the Ravens will look sharp on the field as usual, and they’ll be more motivated than ever to secure a win in front of their home crowd.
