I can get on board with the top photo, "Mean Green". From whatever slight clues they have dropped, the bottom color green seems more likely.

I'll say it again, New York is defined by the color BLACK! Black is urban, tough and cool all in one. It's about time the Jets used it.

SAR I Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Interestingly they are white and they left the center stripes on and took the “Jets” wordmark off. That’s a good sign. It means even though we are getting new logos and uniforms we are keeping white helmets and can change out the side decals and convert our 68’s to throwbacks like the Chargers do with their powder blue’s a few times a season.

Sarge4Tide Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I can hardly wait for the unholy s#!+show that will ensue once the new uniforms are unveiled. It will make the Gase hire seem like nothing. I can only assume some of the most virulent trolls are already working on their material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR IYeah that has to be another hint that we are staying with white. Leaving the stripes on is interesting since many assume the shade of green will change.

The logos are removable and taken off whenever they need to touch-up the helmet. The stripe is painted on. The video simply means the helmets are going to be painted over.

I just did an hours worth of research on Riddell's reconditioning process and if the Jets were getting new colored helmets we wouldn't be returning the old ones at all, they'd just be shipping us brand new helmets. The retention of the stripe decal cinches it. It's the easiest sticker to remove, no need to leave it in place. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video simply means the helmets are going to be painted over. The stripe is not painted on, it's a decal. Look at when we wear our Color Rush uniforms and look at the Riddell video I just posted. And why would the Jets, a $3 Billion dollar corporation, have a $1,200 helmet repainted? To save $60,000? Even the Johnson's aren't that cheap. The painting process on a Riddell Speedflex helmet involves 1 coat of primer, 2 coats of color, and 1 clear coat. The Jets helmet isn't painted either, it's injection molded as white. It would make no sense to strip all the safety features out of the helmets to the bare bone shell just to go through this effort to change them to a color that's injection molded to begin with and/or save a few thousand dollars. Returning the helmets. Leaving the center stripe decals. It means we're getting new facemasks, hardware like screws and such, added to the existing helmets. That's somewhat indisputable now.

SAR I Wouldn't they refresh the center stripe to at least make it look new? Maybe the center stripe is a different type of adhesive that they will let riddel remove. Based on what we have heard from the jets as well as rumors its pretty clear that there will be a new shade of green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
