The black uniforms were the best thing about the Jets last night. I don't know what your smoking?

They're horrendous. The green is barely discernible from the black. There's no history to black on the Jets uniforms unless you enjoyed the Coslet/Kotite years. 

And, as an added bonus, teams wearing black draw more flags than teams that don't! As if the Jets needed the help...

"In an earlier study, researchers at Cornell University also found a similar pattern of increased fouls among NFL teams that wore darker colors. The researchers conducted an experiment where they had high school and college students run two versions of identical football plays, wearing white uniforms in one version and black uniforms in the second version. Referees who later watched the identical version of the plays called fouls more often when the players wore black."

The Ivy League university simultaneously concluded that more penalties are also incurred by teams that suck balls.

Yes but they will shoot them out of  air cannons at tv breaks and you despise those things.

Because a) they don't have the cannon strength to reach the first row of the Mezzanine, b) they advertise a pool company and not the Jets, c) everyone goes nuts over them for no reason.

Black ain't the new Green. Bring back the classic Jets uniform and, for Heaven's sake, get rid of the black color in the end zone. We are Gang Green for cryin ' out loud. Geeze! If we're gonna lose, and we sure are going to do a lot of that this season, then at least let's go out like the familiar losers we've come to know and recognize.

You're just plain wrong the hunter green color was atrocious

Can't agree with the personal attack but I do agree that the color of the Jets uniforms had a negligible effect on the game.

I've seen this very Jets game over and over and over again over the last 10 years or so:

  • Crappy OL
  • Crappy WRs
  • Ineffective QB
  • Defense that tries but ultimately fails
  • Coaching without answers
  • An incomplete roster: (NO CBs, edge rusher, or freaking Kicker)

We've seen this very game, where the Jets look like crap on national tv, pretty much AT LEAST once a season.

Perhaps I should have more clear ... I'm talking about the classic, Joe Namath green from the 60's, not the hunter green of recent vintage.

Still stuck on the howdy doody show too man? Was the love boat one of the finest shows on television history? Do you miss Carson ?

Jesus , some of you guys are giving us old heads a bad name. So stuck in the past. The uniforms were fine and it’s the least of our issues out there. It’s gonna be like 3-4 games a year. Let go of the joe Namath Jets already. ?

Look ... ALL I have to make me feel better about the Jets is that for one, brief moment, they actually won it all ... and, they did it with Namath. Apparently, Parcells felt similarly since he changed the uniforms back to a modified version of the classic look when he took over. So, yeah ... I'll hold on to the Namath Jets until the knuckleheads who run the team give me something better. True, the uniforms are the least of our problems; however, they do NOTHING from an aesthetic perspective and certainly haven't been a symbol of ushering in a new era. If you like the new uniforms and what they represent on the field, then whoopdee doo for you. Oh, and BTW, Carson was the best of all time and, like the Jets, the current crop pales in comparison to the classic.

I played golf today with a group of 32 guys down here in SC. Not one Jets fan in the group except myself. Every single one who talked about the game with me said something about how bad the black uniforms were.

Obviously I'm no fashionista, but I like them better then the green jersey, white pants, but the only combination I think looks good is the white jersey with the a. green pants, b. white pants.

Whatever. This team has bigger problems then the new uniforms...

I give 2 sh!ts about uniforms and my choice would be the 80’s Kelly greens

but my wife’s one comment about the game last night, was “I love these uniforms”

Lol, my wife hates football, she took 1 look at the score, told me she was sorry I was a Jet fan & then commented, at least their new uniforms are nice, lol.
