The Baltimore Ravens unveiled their new "The Next Flight" uniforms during Thursday's Flock Forum for season-ticket holders at  Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Mike Green, Justice Hill, Tez Walker, and Trey Hendrickson were among the current players who modeled the uniforms for the crowd.

The Ravens said the new collection of uniforms represents a "new era of Ravens football" while honoring the previous uniforms.

Here's what changed, according to the team.

• The design evokes wings, talons, and iridescent accents across all four jersey and pant colors. 
• Midnight purple color-shifting material is woven across the jerseys; it was designed to replicate the iridescence of raven feathers.
• The pattern on the collar of the three primary jersey colors depicts a raven's wings spread wide.
• The word Baltimore appears on the front of the team's white jerseys, which are typically worn on the road. The back collar of the purple, black, and Purple Rising jerseys includes the word Baltimore.
• There is a new matte black "Darkness" helmet to be worn with the team's all-black uniforms. It features black talon stripes and a two-toned Ravens logo with red eyes.

"Obviously, the uniforms are gorgeous. You can get fired up to that," Ravens new star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson said.

"From the outset, our objective was clear: evolve a uniform that has become iconic and only move forward if we could truly make it better," added Ravens senior vice president of marketing Brad Downs. "After more than three years of design, iteration and collaboration, we believe we've done just that—delivering a look that feels both modern and unmistakably Ravens."

The Ravens Flock Forum included a speech by Sashi Brown, the team's president, along with a question-and-answer segment moderated by ESPN's Peter Schrager.

Among the Ravens' legends in attendance were Terrell Suggs, Matt Stover, Todd Heap, Jamal Lewis, Peter Boulware, Anthony Levine Sr., and Anthony Weaver. Head coach Jesse Minter was also at the event.

Ravens fans react to new jerseys

Ravens fans were at the Flock Shop Friday to get their hands on the new designs. 

"Gotta update the jersey collection," said Andrew Mintz after seeing the new Ravens uniform.

"They look really good," Patrick Dwyer said. "I'm a big fan of all of them."

Dwyer may not be as big of a fan as Mary Willis, who purchased new jerseys at Thursday's unveiling and returned to the Flock Shop Friday.

"I actually bought four last night," she said. "I bought five today and I'm on my way to buy another three."

When asked who Willis is buying them for, "One for my nail girl, one for my mom, three for my barber and the other four or five are for me," she said.

The new purple, white and black jerseys are drawing excitement from fans.

"They're pretty neat," said Patrick Alexander. "I have a pretty big collection. So, I'm just adding on to it."

"They're incredible," said Mark Jones. "Seeing them on TV last night doesn't do it justice."

"I was a little worried at first," Shawn Chowdhry said. "I felt like it's a pretty good uniform. Are they going to make it worse? Fortunately, they didn't. It's pretty much the same, just slightly better."

Mintz said he loves the iridescent touch to the uniform.

"It looks aggressive," he said.

Fans are also hype over the new black matte helmet.

Fans say this truly represents not just the team but the city of Baltimore as well.

"They incorporated the city into the jersey," Alexander said. "So, I think that's a big deal for the fans. It shows that the Ravens care about their fans, which you don't always see from sports teams."

To them, it's not just a new jersey design but a sign the tides are changing for the Ravens franchise.

"We're going to go with a whole new perspective and we're going to put the past in the past," Willis said.

"Clean slate, fresh restart," Dwyer said. "I'm very ready."
