I doubt very much that is the audience that they are catering too. Think new york city youth. That is the future of the fanbase and they have to win them over now. What are they looking for? That's true...in a city with two teams, I'm sure the Johnson's are trying to up their market share of fans knowing that life after Eli might be rough for the Giants.

UntouchableCrew Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm going to be really bummed if our uniforms don't stay Green and White. It seems like a minor thing, but honestly, the uniforms have been the one constant in my era as a fan. If the uniforms suck I'm going to be really, really bummed. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdels62 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If we get black on our uniforms I’ll probably be upset about it for a little while and then get over it except for when I randomly insert “we have the worst uniforms in the league” in posts where I mostly bitch about our offense being boring.

Hey let's just change the team name as well! I've wanted to see that goddamned uniform (or the 80s version) coming out of a Super Bowl tunnel forever.

SMC Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The black looks awful and the Celtics black alts are hideous. Jets colors are green and white. They could change design, but should keep those colors. The problem is the crappy green hue the unis have now. They're flat, and dull and look like vomited peas. The color should be metallic green. Jets are made of metal. Let the green shimmer like the below: 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDL_JET Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I can’t see them getting rid of green and white as the main color scheme. I mean the team is called gang green. I would be pretty surprised if green just ended being an accent color and black was the main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do that White-Outline to this: And then lets see how it looks. Not a fan of Black Uni's personally, but if we're going that route, needs that white-outline. P.S. I know half the fanbase will go into cardiac arrest if we go away from being predominantly-white in our uniforms. To alot of folks, the ultimate Jets Uni is the classic 80% white, 20% green Classic/Parcells white-top+white-pants+little green accents and logo style. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the fact that they would be totally changing the identity of the team, I can't imagine there are much better color combinations out there that aren't already tied to other teams. EA saying completely new to me means that it is just a slight update of the ones we're wearing now, the design was conceived from scratch. Of course, I could be wrong but that would be a hell of a risk they are taking. Agree. Has there been a recent NFL team that completely ditched their color scheme? The established pattern has been to evolve the uniform in iterations - even "new' uniforms usually retain the same roots as old, e.g. the Rams Royal blue and yellow becomes darker blue and gold. Completely banishing green and white would be a surprise. Also, this kind of a thing may be bad for the brand awareness as the Jets are known for green and white. While you want fans to buy new merchandise, you don't necessarily want to alienate the same people who have invested money in older sets. Hence, keeping the look at least in the same neighborhood in terms of color. Reluctantly, I'd also have to agree that the outreach on the Jets' black practice jersey's could indicate the direction that they are going. It reminds me of the 90's Mets / Knicks. Thumbs down.

Man the Nike construction on Jerseys is just a cluster F$%K patchwork abomination. I agree they are test floating the black. I do not like it. Everything in our country seems to be moving to either black or white in color or lack thereof. Our biggest issue is the actual color green. It sucks. I can see bringing in blue or gold highlights to honor the Titans heritage. I would like a completely new logo. I hate the 80s one, and the current is just meh....

jetsfansince7 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Finally.. I'm glad they're finally going to do it - I like the current look now but I do miss the 80's/90's look and they could do that with some chrome or color rush look or maybe accent it but they can go retro future look. .. It's going to be interesting to see what direction they go. Totally new logo and look or go with tradition (my vote..). That's why I've always liked the NFL because it's more of a traditional league...and you're right the new Buc's uniform/logo is awful so.. I hope they go full "nike" mode and *edit* DO NOT ruin it.. **and as a bummy side note I was hoping to go see my first NFL/Jets game this fall.. but ehh.. I think I'll hold until next season when this all happens... NFW- Neil O’Donnell.

Denver, too. I feel that for these teams you mentioned, the changes are more iterative and show a progression / correlation in color family and identity: Miami, San Diego, Buffalo, Rams, Seahawks (by way of keeping the same logo).

If the clothes don;t drive the culture, or the success, then whats the harm in changing the clothes once in a while? Because the clothes are the identity. Because the uniform, is the one thing this franchise has gotten right. Because the one time this team did change, it was awful, and the next time they do, it will be awful. Because this "let's add black", is so hack. If the organization had been run well for the last five decades, our uniforms would be one of the most popular and highly regarded. It's beautiful.
