....just curious, what type of Jets gear do you guys own? Jets t-shirts? Hoodies? hats? Jerseys? Flags? shot glasses? coach's polo shirts or windbreakers? Anybody have any cool game-worn memorabilia or autographed memorabilia, just a framed Joe Klecko game-worn jersey, etc.?
I own two green n’ white items that get me through every Sunday. A Leonard Williams jersey and Prozac.
Coles and Darnold Jerseys. Too many hats, t-shirts, and hoodies to count. Most of it only gets worn on game day. Some of it only gets worn if I’m going to the game. I stopped going to games, though, because they dropped the last 4 I went too. This included Geno Smith’s career day against the Bills.
Depends what you mean by gear. Earrings, a necklace, sweatshirts, jackets, T-shirts, beer steins (they're really cool), Jets glasses (the smoked glass ones from the 70s), two original SB mugs, coffee mugs, bobble heads, posters, Christmas ornaments, hats, a scarf, gloves, ear muffs, slippers, sweat pants, coats, a signed Joe Willie plaque, a Joe Namath ornament, a Marty Lyons signed mini-helmet, a few autographs, a few cheap replica jerseys . . . I'm sure I'm leaving something out.
Don't you have family?! There isn't a B-Day or a Christmas that goes by that I'm not gifted something Jets related. Oh, yeah, I forgot, Jets toilet paper (long since gone), a Jets tissue box (that I just keep shoving more tissues in when it's empty), 2 different Jets teddy bears (not really my thing, but a friend of mine bought them for me at a garage sale, which was sweet). I already told my Keyshawn Johnson beanie baby story, but short version, my late dog found it, tore the head off, and disemboweled it. Luckily it was a dollar store knock off purchase (also from a friend). Oh, and a Jets flask. Almost forgot that one.
I have a Curtis Martin home Jersey and a Testaverde away jersey. I was really excited about getting rid of the old uniforms and moving to the really old uniforms.... Still some of you guys cling to the kelly green from which I was so excited to move.
4 ball caps 3 "knit" hats 4 t-shirts 2 hoodies 1 windbreaker 3 jerseys, Martin white, Leo green, white name: JETS #00 1 pair of socks 12 or so of those McFarlane figures shot glass and coffee mug Autographed Curtis Martin mini helmet Replica Namath Super Bowl ring (it was a gift, don't judge me) An artificial Christmas tree decorated only with roughly 3 dozen NYJ themed ornaments What the fuck am i doing with my life?
My son went to a Jets game some years ago and bought me an official Jets cap. Besides that, I could never understand why a fan would buy a Jets jersey with some player's name on it. This franchise falls in and out of love with players, even very good ones, way too often. Still, when Damon Harrison came to the Jets, I was so intrigued by his story and play, I decided to honor him by getting his jersey. Unfortunately, there was no jersey for him. The best I could do was go to the NFL Shop and have a Jets logo T-shirt customized with his name and number on the back. As befitting the course of events, after a few years (and many washings) the Jets logo on the front began to deteriorate, but the Harrison lettering and number on the back was still solid. By the time Harrison signed with the Giants, the Jets logo was just a series of white splotches. Fed up, I threw the shirt in a recycle bin. I'd like to think someone in Africa or the Mid-East is wearing that shirt now.
I pretty much felt the same way. A long as I can remember, I've been intrigued by the number 23. For many years it became a weird obsession, where I saw it as having certain significance far beyond other random numbers. Later I became aware that it was an actual phenomena...they even made a movie about it. Anyway, at the start of every season I would check the Jets roster to see who was assigned #23. About 12 years ago I was very surprised to see that player #23 had the same last name as myself. I mentioned it to my girlfriend. That year she gave me a very nice birthday present...a beautiful jersey with the #23 and my name on the back. I never wear it...for a few reasons actually.
1- T-Shirt 1- Hat 1- Keychain 1- Pair of Jets socks- wore at my wedding 1- Wilkerson jersey 1- Darnold jersey 1- Pint glass 2- Jets hoodies I'm sure I'm forgetting other assorted knick nacks
I got to work with Joe Namath for three days back in the 80's. I managed to get a photo with him and some cheap exercise gear. Still have the photo.
