Julian Edelman Teases Potential New Patriots Jerseys on Instagram
By Sean Facey
In an offseason that could bring about plenty of changes for the New England Patriots, wide receiver Julian Edelman is hinting at one more.
The 10-year wide receiver posted a photo on Instagram depicting himself in what could potentially be a new jersey for the Patriots for the 2020 NFL season.
Patriots fans have long desired a change to their rather mediocre jersey scheme. Ever since their iconic AFL throwbacks were pulled from the rotation, they've begged and pleaded to return to something similar to the style the team wore in the 1990s.
It probably isn't a coincidence that Edelman just so happens to be wearing a jersey that's incredibly similar those Drew Bledsoe-era threads.
Then again, it could just be the latest ploy as part of Edelman's merchandising exploits.

If the Pats do end up making a switch -- and they don't end up re-signing legendary quarterback Tom Brady -- it could become a truly noticeable way to mark the end of an era in New England and hit the reset button.
But of course, this is all speculation. Until there's an official announcement of a change, the Patriots will surely be content to keep wearing the digs they've won each of their six Super Bowls in.
