Give up? Different pants striping. The top picture of running back James White shows thicker red stripes and a thinner white stripe down the middle. Uni-Watch.com’s Paul Lukas noticed this difference because of course he did. It’s his job to observe such things.

Lukas obtained a picture from the NFL Style Guide that showed the Patriots would be wearing the pants in the top picture of White, not what was unveiled Monday at 8 a.m. on Patriots social media accounts.
