Wow this is going to suck. And honestly, who gives a fuck about paying tribute to the Titans? First 2 forgettable years in the near 60 year history of the Jets? What next, a patch as a tribute to Mike Holovak?
The longer this issue lingers, the more uncomfortable I am about it. I can only hope more effort went into the design of these new unis than what went into those color mush unis which IMO, was a lazy knockoff off the ancient NY Titans unis.
Don't worry , there's no blueish gray, blue, or gold. Just the green from the jacket above, white, and black.
My guess as to why they're being so secretive about it and haven't done a big reveal is two things: 1) They haven't definitively decided yet 2) They have definitively decided, it's hideous, and they're going to spring it on people just like the alien got sprung on Captain Dallas. Surprise! I have been getting so many emails from the Jets trying to unload merchandise with ridiculous discounts, so for sure it's coming soon. I say scoop up what you can now because the result is probably going to be super fugly, and at least you won't feel embarrassed wearing the former jersey. They'll probably come out with something in pea green colored vomit like Linda Linda Blair's puke from 'The Exorcist'. EDIT: I have no idea who the F Linda Linda Blair is, but I'm leaving it.
Then it's not a new shade. It's imperceptibly different than same drab green we've been using. I am a full supporter of using a kelly greenish - main color scheme.
This green and the jacket green (posted earlier in this thread) are completely different. I have the Adams color rush jersey and I've seen the hat above in real life. They are substantially brighter than the green in the jacket earlier. The green in the jacket is still a darker, muted green -- which to me is drab. Also, the color rush green sucks. I love the green in the jets hat with the old school logo.
If we’re adding black(which i know you dont want) i agree.The black provides contrast makes the brightness stand out. If we’re sticking w white & a new logo id prefer the jacket shade.The kelly is too bright w just a white back drop
If you look at Bowles' post practice presser yesterday, he's wearing a cap and hoodie that is definitely appears to be a lighter shade than the hunter green ones but nowhere near the almost lime green of the color rush gear. I suspect this is the sort of colour you may see the Jets in next year. I quite like it to be honest.
I don't want to see any tribute to the titans in our new uniforms. Our Titans years are not fondly remembered by anyone. Ever
Everyone tries to incorporate black into alternates. I think the Eagles have pretty much ruined their uniforms by going too dark a green and adding too much black. Have to agree adding a gray or dark gray would make a more unique and interesting alternate if they insist on one, and go better with the light green. It also makes sense for Jets.
I don't know at this point. All I know is that there will be a black uniform set, in addition to a green set and white set. I'm kind of hoping for a green helmet at this point, rather than white. I also hope they have come up with a new simple logo, and not recycled the 80s/90s one.
And I agree 1000% with your comment! So that makes the "Like factor" for MrJet80's comment a million %! I especially agree with your suggestion that they use grey instead of black, even a dark shade of grey if they must. Using black is such a copycat move! Like its implication is that "Our team is tough and mean because we wear black", like some poor man's version of the Raiders. The Jets beat "the best team in the world" in SB III wearing kelly green - no black. There are bigger problems I have with the Jets than uniform color, but the black scheme is annoying.
