    See my avatar for my submission, they are absolutely perfect, simple and classy and don't need to be changed. People want everything to look like the XFL or something.

    C'mon no retardation of the uniform. It can be an update, maybe an 80's themed Michigan State type update

    But we don't want to look like the Bucs or Seachickens or anything. If an 17 year old instagram says something is "Fire" it probably means it looks like an unflushed toilet

    It would probably be prudent that I never click on this thread again because I'll get completely out of hand. I shrieked out loud in St. Peter's Basilica, let's start there. What happened and why is hilariously funny. It echoed everywhere, and I got the filthiest looks known to man. The filthier the looks, the louder the shrieking. The old man attempted to cover my mouth to stem the bleeding but I blocked him with an air elbow to the chin. Too late, buddy, you lose. It wasn't my fault that a security guard in a roped off area started it. My only regret is that The Swiss Guard didn't get involved. Oh, well, you can't win 'em all. What was this about again? Poor HomeoftheJets.

    If the Redskins are ever forced to redo their unis they should do planes flying over the Pentagon.

    Maybe some smoke.

    Maybe add a subtle homage with a naval yard shooting scene below?

    Some of the designers are clueless.

    I'm getting the sense that some people still don't understand just why that design is cluelessly awful.

    Even if 9-11 never happened, the design is still atrocious.

    That 1st helmet is clearly a goalie mask.

    The 2nd, besides the fact that it's 99% black the only other color (1%) is that reflective foil that looks extra cheap and janky. Like the under armor college unis. It looks like one of those green maggot laying flies.
    Is that a football helmet or a BMX helmet?
    Is that a pararescue helmet, or for HALO jumping?
    Is it one of those new age college batting helmets?
    Is it a costume prop for a Raiders fan that wear all those spikes?
    Has the chinstrap been replaced with a ball-gag?

    I really hope that the Jets don't look at these submissions because all the fan-created uniforms I've seen so far have been absolute garbage

    So years ago we used to say “Never Forget”.

    But that was a long long time ago.

    Now?

    Just a cliche.

    Why do you hate goalies.

    Or ball gags.

    Asking for a friend.

    Fifty shades of gray. Maybe just paint the screws green and white.

    I really like the Titans throwbacks. So simple and lively and strong-looking.

    You really think that?

    Maybe other people chose to focus on the fact that it is just a shit designed helmet, rather than the accidental connotation of a jet and tall building or maybe like the designer people move on from the awful events of 17 years ago.

    Those helmet designs in this thread are awful.
    Personally I am against any new uniform design except for tweaking the color green a little, but I know it will be more. I am especially against changing the white helmet with the double green stripe which they can easily keep if they just alter the logo on sides.

    You're damned straight I think that, and thanks for making my point for me. It's not the tall buildings, it's the two twin rectangular buildings alone and to the left of what is clearly the Empire State Building, with a jet pointed right at them. Anyone who doesn't understand how offensive that is is just clueless.

    And as someone who was less than a mile from the towers on that morning, and who lost people I knew, people who have no connection with what happened that day can take their desire to "move on" and stick it where the sun don't shine.

    I am sorry that you lost somebody close to you in the tragedy and I couldn't possibly understand the amount of hurt that loss could give you, so please accept my apology and my insensitivity in my reply.
