You want a different color, fine, has nothing to do with the name Jets though what "tradition"??? of Futility???... No Thx... When I think of Jets, I think of fighter planes... I think Most people do as well & they are All mostly a silver metallic gun metal color... Not green & white... You like the "tradition" All the Best... I prefer something Bold & New... jmo.

You know if you want to talk tradition they're the green and white. You want to complain that you don't like their tradition that's a whole different story that has nothing to do with colors or logos. Also, happy that you came up with colors you like and then are sticking them on Jets. Theyre are probably just as many white colored military Jets as silver, metalic or gunmetal colored Jets. Or there are more white passenger jets. Everyone has to come up with their own reasoning to change or not change depending on what they want for themselves. Lets not try and make it something its not. Has nothing to do with matching colors to your ideal of what Jet colors are. Raiders arent silver and black, cowboys arent blue, white or silver, packers arent green and gold, giants arent red, white and blue. The list goes on. I actually have no problem with them kicking their traditional colors out, just dont need excuses for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Patrick's was his birthday in 1910 and is PART of the reason why he chose Green. 2 hours ago, jetsons said: It doesn't really matter where it came from but there is Absolutely No reason to keep those colors... they have Absolutely Zero to do with "Jets"... jmo It's a matter of opinion. Part of a rooting for a team is identity and the Jets' identity IS the color Green. It's going to be split opinions either way by fans and diehards. Both have valid arguments for and against the change. I LOVE Green in various aspects, Jets fall in line with that infatuation. 2 hours ago, Jet Nut said: no, the point is theyre green, have always been green.

You want a different color, fine, has nothing to do with the name Jets though I agree it's PART of the TEAM IDENTITY - Good AND Bad history: SB III, Miracle @ Meadlowlands, 2010 Division upset as well as The Gastineau Late Hit, the 1998 AFCCG choke job, Tebow, etc. 2 hours ago, Jimmy 2 Times said: Green is the only reason I became a fan. I'll be pissed if they change it now. I have to agree that the Green is a material part of why I love the team and what separates it from the rest of the NY Metro area sports teams in having Green as a primary color while EVERYONE ELSE is: Blue, Red, Orange w/White as the complimentary color (Giants,Yanks,Mets,Rangers,Knicks, NYCFC, Islanders, Nets were) GREEN = THE FUTURE Here is WHY the NY Jets are GREEN: Change to Jets, 1963-1977 New owner Sonny Werblin changed the franchise's name and color scheme upon buying the team in 1963. The newly named Jets wore kelly green uniforms with white pants and white helmets for the next sixteen years. Werblin incorporated green because he viewed it as a futuristic color as well as his personal affinity for St. Patrick’s Day, which was his birthday. In 1963 the helmets featured a green passenger jet with “Jets” written across it before the team opted for a football shaped outline with “NY Jets” interlocking. The team made the playoffs twice in its 15 seasons with these uniforms, including Super Bowl III, the franchise’s only championship. Joe Namath led the Jets, dressed in all white, to a 16-7 upset over the heavily favored Baltimore Colts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO ME the unis are perfect. THE END And the Jets clearly don't give 2 sh*ts about your meaingless little opinion. If they were "perfect", they'd be the #1 selling gear in the league. They're not even close. They're old, outdated and boring tbqh. They look like what they are, a sad 1960's design for a team still trying to milk their one moment of glory 50 years ago. If there is one bright side to the impending sh*tshow that will likely be these new modern uniforms, it's going to be the massive sea of butthurt of the Jets Fanbase when they get dropped. It's going to be epic watching and reading the impending meltdowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas2No99 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The Jets will end up buying the Memphis Express team logo and design after the Nike debacle implodes on itself by 2020.

And in the past couple of years I've thought the Jet uni's never looked better. The absolute worst jerseys in all of sports. The crazy thing is that I could absolutely see the NFL eventually changing the uniforms to the crazy ones we see proposed on certain websites that try to re-imagine/modernize all NFL uniforms. I don't think that day is far off, actually. Yes Nike is involved but ultimately it's up to the Jets. It will all come down to how they play in those uniforms. If Sam is hoisting a Lombardi in a few years we'll love them,if Sam turns into 2012 Sanchez and the team continues to suck we'll hate them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I mean, if you're gonna abandon green and white why not change the name of the team too?

Much easier when you're not tied down by "tradition". Odd logo though. What does a jet plane have to do with Express? Unless it represents Fedex Express.
