The New England Patriots will throw a banner unveiling party during the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs and a series of five inflated Lombardi Trophies are going to be a part of the display.

We’ll see what the team has in mind, but it looks like there are stands for these trophies and they’re not helium balloons. They’ll probably line the entrance of where the Patriots players will enter the stadium and field to kick off the season.
The Patriots have also spruced up their field for the new year, too.
New field wrap: ✔️
