    Not sure if discussed within the main draft thread or anywhere else

    Joe Douglas had the Jets 1980's helmet on his desk. This was for every team their official draft war room. Kind of strange to see the Jets using a defunct helmet and logo at an official and high profile event. Maybe it's nothing, but maybe it's a sign these uniforms are coming back when the NFL one helmet rule expires?

    I hate the new logo and if they want to bring back the 80's version of it? I'm good. I think the NFL rules state they're stuck with this new logo for 5yrs. is that right?

    They suck too (aside from nostalgia of my childhood).... the ONE thing the JETS had going for themselves were classically slick uniforms...... but they managed to fuk that up in a half-heartedly fashion too.......

    Could'nt agree more , our logois the most uninspiring unimaginative in the NFL , worse than the damn Browns & they don't even have a logo!
    I'd love it if we swapped out the current debacle with the 80's version.

    You guys are crazy! The new logo is awesome. Pretty sure Douglas just had it on his desk because he is a cool dude! He had the new Jets helmet on the other side. I'd love to wear the 80's jerseys for a game or two though. And if they did update the helmet with the 80's logo, pretty sure no fan would complain.

    that 80s logo is the jets to me. i prefer it over anything else they have ever done. i dont mind the new uniforms other than the stupid stripes across the chest that belong on the shoulders. even the idiot browns got rid of that dumb chest stripe this year.

    id like to see what the new helmet would look like with teh old logo, although the green/white really was the best and better than the green/black/white

    Man there is absolutely nothing special about the 80s logo other than it being nostalgic for many who became fans during the era of that logo, including me. Make no mistake though, it’s an ugly ass logo.

    I hated it at the time, especially since those teams brought me nothing but pain and heartache. I have to admit, it's grown on me over the year. I think that logo would the new Chrome green helmet could look amazing. And as for the new Jerseys and Pants...they've gotta go. Don't like the font, don't like the NEW YORK on the collar. I don't know, there's just something off about them.

    The 1981-82 Jets are probably the best squad the franchise has ever fielded since SBIII.

    The old JETS logo to me is associated with a joke franchise, laughing stock of the NFL, that couldn't get out of it's own way for years. Everytime I see that old logo I'm reminded of how horrible we were.

    The best thing Parcelles did was to can that sad image and return us to our classic look.

    I still remember the playoff game against the Raiders that year. We kicked their asses all over the field and to top it off, we out hit them and talked much shit too. Classic!

    Are you talking about the '80s Jets' logo that looks like this:

    If so, that was not a joke franchise. That was The NY Sack Exchange, Wesley Walker, Freeman McNeil, Kenny O'Brien, et al.

    Yes, that's it. And yes, we had some great moments with the Sack Exchange. But after that we were in a dark, dark period.

    The 80s logo would be a major upgrade over the one we currently have.
