Maxman Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I just saw that this was one of our top keywords this month. Is this catching on? I know there is a group called Gotham City Crew. They run a tailgate and do trips. Fun people, we hung out with them in Detroit. I know the coaches were Gotham City sweatshirts dating back to the Todd Bowles days. And the team color is Gotham Green. But is fetch really happening? LOL. The Gotham City Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the coaching staff was wearing those sweatshirts and apparel in the Week 17 game vs. Buffalo. Perhaps that inspired some searches? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It's weird that the Jets would announce a deal with Marvel, then embrace DC's fictional Gotham City as their team color and printing it on coaches' gear. I guess "Gotham," has seeped into the NY culture beyond Batman, but I think Hulk Green would've worked just fine. And most of the Marvel Universe originates in the real city the Jets claim to be from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Its a product and brand niche that the Jets should push more, as evidenced by the high search rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to find a black Nike one on Dick's Sporting Goods.com for my son for Christmas on sale $90 he loves it comfortable and warm he says. There are many aftermarket ones available if you do a search. The Nike one has no pockets zippers to to access inside and the bottom of the sleeves are very tight fitting like a shirt.

The Crimson King Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Origin of name[edit] Writer Bill Finger, on the naming of the city and the reason for changing Batman's locale from New York City to a fictional city, said, "Originally I was going to call Gotham City 'Civic City.' Then I tried 'Capital City,' then 'Coast City.' Then I flipped through the New York City phone book and spotted the name 'Gotham Jewelers' and said, 'That's it,' Gotham City. We didn't call it New York because we wanted anybody in any city to identify with it."[10] "Gotham" has been a nickname for New York City that first became popular in the nineteenth century; Washington Irving had first attached it to New York in the November 11, 1807 edition of his Salmagundi,[11] a periodical which lampooned New York culture and politics. Irving took the name from the village of Gotham, Nottinghamshire, England: a place inhabited, according to folklore, by fools.[12][13] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the grave and stuff. Don’t give me too much credit. After all i am the person who convinced Leon Hess to relocate from Shea to Giant’s Stadium in the swamps of jersey. I’m still shocked that Leon took my advice years after he belittled me by booting me from the ownership group because he thought i stole the spotlight for building the Jets into a SB winning club. How many SB winners did Hess build? Leon Hess - stupidest owner in the history of professional sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
