Traditionally, yes. However a lot of the teams treat the distinction with QBs as they do soccer goalies. They just want them to have a distinctly different colored jersey than the rest of the squads are wearing so it's clear to everyone else. The color, in the scheme of things, doesn't matter so long as its completely different. I've seen yellow used a lot. But in the Jets context, if the primaries are green and white (for the new uniform scheme) it would make sense the QBs are wearing the alternate color (black) because the offense and defense wouldn't be wearing black.
My point was, I've worn black to one of the summer practices under the sun. It gets rough. Combine that with a helmet and pads, I imagine it would be extremely hot. I wouldn't want to put that extra energy expenditure on my FQB... I probably would have went with a dark gray color for the QBs. To your latter point, the Jets made a big deal of "unveiling" the new black and kelly green practice jerseys for the QBs on their Instagram. I'm not sure they will go back to red, which is what they were wearing before. Or at least, it's illogical to do so.
I was thinking the same. But I think the chart is referring to the primary color worn on jerseys/pants -- not accent colors.
Right so I was right all along then, it was about the sun lol My half-hearted attempt at a joke post saying one of the most successful teams in sport are called the All Blacks and it doesn't seem to stop them winning, I am not a huge believer in this colour business, the same as people saying that blue is a cold colour, my reply to that is what colour is the sky on a nice sunny warm day? Anyway, we have wasted far too much time on such a poor joke
Sounds like it might be this color. Slightly brighter than the current shade, which is represented in the logo.
This is our new color, not the one above. Some things on the Jets website, the color of the Flags they gave out and the Jets SNY studio have been all changed to this green. Kelly green is gonna be our new color. What other color and what logo is TBD
Saints 1000% agree. 10000% agree about the stupid black uniforms too. Would MUCH rather they be a gray or dark gray if they must have an alternate.
I like this shade of green way more. Very curious what the logo is going to look like! And not for anything, I know I will like this on occasion -
If these were training kit then they would be good, not for our uniform though, GREEN and WHITE all the way.
I don't think they will be adding a new color. If black is involved it will probably be a training camp/practice deal. Just my opinion though.....
Based on the One Jets drive video, I believe the new colors will be Kelly Green and blueish grey along with white. Suspect blue or gold might be used as tribute to Titans as well. Logo is the real mystery. How different will it be? New uniforms are described as bold, so the 80s logo coming back does not really seem bold. Bold is new colors and new logo. The Adams video pretty much confirms that Kelly green or something similar is the primary color.
I think black will be an accent like the jersey below. Not Enough to be considered a team color but obvious enough it gives them an excuse to make a black alternate. Some fans want it and at the end of the day this rebrand is as much about merch sales as anything else.
