"Probably the best jerseys I've seen us wear," Murray said. "I like our (current) uniforms, but I think these turned out well, especially with the ultimate shock that these were happening. I guess I was out of the loop, but they turned out perfect.
"We look great all the time, but it gives us another look to look good in. And it's for the NFL Rivals deal, which I think is going to be super cool for the fans to experience."

The Cardinals' rivalry uniform features a state outline, desert imagery, metallic accents and muted tones to highlight Arizona's copper-mining roots and the helmet has a sand texture.
