Leave the Steinberg black outlines out and put all this numbering on our uniforms and I'd be happier I love those uniforms with darker green, later on they seemed to lighten them a bit but the uniforms in this photo are perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its a bit of the lighting and a lot underexposed by the photog but I agree, they were a bit darker at some point and that offset by the large white numbers were the shlt And I'm not one who advocated bringing those units back, just think they looked sharp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as I've said before, my friends and I are Nike's target demographic so I get why the older crowd isn't a fan. Older in my 30s? They suck compared to our classics. All the classics needed was the current green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 3 minutes ago, Drums said: Why does the rule about the one colored helmet even exist? Concussions. Some study that the NFL did to defend itself against lawsuits said that changing the helmets to versions with different padding inside was increasing the risk, it was better if a helmet was broken-in and had more of a fit/cushioning effect. So the league said there shall be one helmet per player per season. In the decade since, the NCAA did not have the same rule and the amount and degree of concussions did not differ from the NFL. So the NFL is reconsidering the rule. SAR I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAM SAM HE'S OUR MAN Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 8 hours ago, SAR I said: Come now. Look at the Yankees road jersey. Look at the Mets road jersey. And for decades no NFL team had any text on the front of the jersey at all. And with all the color rush and alternate jerseys, its even more confusing. NFL fans know who whose jersey is whose. Saying "New York" on the front of any garment increases sales markedly as non-NFL fans just like the association with the big fancy city. It's identical. Nike took that element from the old logo and incorporated it in the new design. It looks like the nose of a jet, or a jet engine contrail, or a stripe showing fast motion. It works. Why? The 80's logo had a terrible italic font and looked like an SST which might have been cutting edge back in the 70's but the Concorde has been rendered obsolete and to copy a stealth fighter would have looked too military. And a new logo was created. The helmet logo uses an adjusted font and an adjusted football. The Jets logo has always said "New York Jets Football". Because the "New York" lives on the front of the jersey, the helmet only needs to say "Jets Football". And it does.

Either way, it's hard to believe someone signed off on spending 1.6 billion BTUs on that design.

Season ticket holders have a commitment to the team and the building; a Stubhubber does not. The experience is built for us, not you. You'll take your air conditioner and your 75% of tickets and you'll like it. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
