Who gives a flying Fickle of the winning percentage of the team and how that correlates to the uniforms they wore at the time. The teams sucked back then b/c Leon Hess (GREAT AMERICAN! RIP.) was interested in COST EFFICIENCY in running his "side business" of an NFL team in NYC and never invested heavily in scouting and quality management. The ONE solid GM during that era, IMO, Dick Steinberg, died on us. The Jets sucked b/c of management & coaching, not their uniforms. I grew up watching the Jets during that era (1886-present) and while I appreciate the nostalgia and understand YOUR association of "the losing years", I don't consider those uniforms and logos ugly. They were simple and not too complicated - and you know, ACTUALLY INCORPORATED the Team Name into the LOGO. In addition, the kids who grew up during that era are NOW the middle aged fans who drop $$$ as STHs, merchandise consumers, away games traveling fans. etc. and competent TEAM marketing will recognize that and try to CAPITALIZE on that nostalgia factor. agree. LOVE those helmets, LOVE the logo back then. I do like our current jerseys better though. However, I believe the Jets are going in a completely new direction. Someone mentioned on these forums a few weeks back that when they switched Darnold's/McCown's practice jerseys from red/white to black/green that the Jets twitter account tweeted out asking Jets nation what we thought of the new look. almost like it was a glimpse at the direction they are going? obviously not those exact jerseys, but more black? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing back to the uniforms that the franchise won a Super Bowl in made sense, trying to build a winning culture and all. There's nothing adventageous about going back to the 80s-90s logo. It stands for nothing but ineptitude. If they're changing the logo again, they should change it to something new, interesting, and modern. And no black. Of course, I'm bracing for that dull logo with a black outline because what else would these guys do? It's not meant to be "Advantageous" it's MEANT TO SELL MERCHANDISE FOR $$$$ by PANDERING to NOSTALGIA of the CURRENT Jets fan Demographic (30-50 year old who grew up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, & the most likely of all fans to spend cash on the NY Jets for themselves or brainwashing their offspring to convert.) You're not getting it, IMO, if you don't see that. I agree that black is retread area. I don't loathe it, but agree more originality is imperative. I think they can go with a Chrome/Stainless Steel outline for the Helmet Font and Number decals instead of the aforementioned Black outline. Nothing garish, but considerate of you know, the natural raw material color of Jets. I could see an ALL Steel Grey uniform with White and subtle Green or Darker Grey accents to help it pop - probably similar to Seattle's Grey uni. NYC is a Northeast City - we reflect the weather in our daily fashion: Grey, Black, Navy Blue seems natural, IMO. I think Grey can be tastefully implemented as an alternative to Black. They can also update the Jets font and "plane" that plays off the 80s/90s logo and possibly use different angles of a Jet(s) (bird's eye silhouette w/drag, Jet taking off in upward angle, 3/4 angle under shot, front facing silhouette - my favorite concept for helmet above the facemask/faceshield) and not only be limited to the 80/90s profile shot of a Jet which you find dull. I find it simple, but agree it can be upgraded and done "cooler" w/3D modeling and better technology to really upgrade the graphical design aspect which seems like the basis of your criticism. I simply, but respectfully, disagree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not getting it, IMO, if you don't see that. I was in junior high when they changed to that logo. Back then, every team in the AFCe had white hats, and the hope was that Richard Todd might better be able to identify his own receivers if the helmets were a different color. He still found A.J. Duhe just fine. So I'd be at the tail end of your demographic here, but I wouldn't be buying. Lol. It's the logo of Dick Todd and Dick Kotite. I understand your point, I just don't agree with it. And I think older fans (a group I also can identify with) would tend to agree that that whole era is best forgotten. But yeah, those black jerseys for the QBs are probably some forshadowing. These muli-green flags they're handing out could be another tip. I'm hoping for a complete redo on the logo, though, if they feel the need to change it (and it seems like they do). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckkieB Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I might be in the minority, but I really like the 80's "Jet" logo and would love to see it in green on a white helmet. I also thought the shade of green on the flag giveaway was curious and was not a big fan of it and hope that it is NOT a preview of next year's uniform color. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's CLEARLY a generational taste "Thing" in which you grew up with that logo and loved it (scars and all) or you predate that logo's implementation and have an understandable "negative association" with it. It's a matter of personal taste and reflected more by age in terms the "style" of Jets uniform partiality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to all the Super Bowls we won in the 70's, or since they changed it back to the 60's style? Success isn't about the Uniform, it's about the Organization. 3 hours ago, slats said: If they're going to change the logo, come up with something brand new. I agree. 3 hours ago, slats said: I'd prefer a couple different shades of green to anything involving black or gray. Those are lazy, uninspired choices. And also, while the Jets have a lifetime winning percentage of just .453, it dropped to .351 when they added black. What's the nostalgia there? I agree, no black. If this is the best they can do, I would say "don't bother" and just stick with the current Uni's with a once-a-year 80's Kelly Green + Logo Throwback game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
