Jet Nut Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 24 minutes ago, Embrace the Suck said: I didn't mention sales. I didn't say it was a big deal. I didn't complain about the helmet. I simply commented about him tweeting about uniform stuff as almost every time I see a tweet from him, on here, it's about uniform stuff. Which is fine as I rather that was the extent of his involvement. Keep him occupied, and feeling a part of things by making him a cheerleader where he can do little harm. I didn’t say you said anything about sales of anything, I said that’s what I see when it comes to gear, someone promoting sales. But I agree, that’s my thinking. I’d rather see him stick to marketing the team over being a part of player decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 1 hour ago, HawkeyeJet said: I don’t necessarily care on peoples uniform takes, it’s all 100% personal preference. That said, people cracking on the “stealth black” i do disagree on. Not necessarily on the aesthetics of it, but stealth black or jet black is actually the only thing I can think of since I became a fan in the as a kid in the early 90s that has a remote connotation with the Nickname of the franchise. what does color black have to do with Jets name? What the Jets are doing here is adding black for the sake of adding black . A lot of teams are doing it right now. A lot of teams did it in the 90's too. Nothing but a cash grab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone wanted the 80s look but this is the one I was hoping they brought back, just for variety. There's always next year. NFL teams should be allowed to use as many helmets as they want.

munchmemory Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Stealth black helmet sucks. Maybe with our traditional logo it could have worked. This new one looks like they slapped a cheap kid's sticker on a black helmet. Jets need to hire better graphic artists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rldev Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 5 hours ago, Jetworks said: I would like these more if they just went with the logo as chrome green like the facemask. I feel the white outlining detracts from the stealth motif. Would the 'Jets' be harder to read? Yes, but that's the point. It's the hideous amateur logo. It's time for the Jets to embrace something that is actually stealth. No problem with the black helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth bombers(which are fighter Jets) are black in color, for multiple reasons. Jet black is also a very common idiom, although it has nothing to do planes. But if you say the term Jet Black, most people know what you mean. I’m well aware it’s a cash grab. Adding in alternate uniforms of any color is a marketing and merchandising opportunity. That’s not some big secret you are exposing. My point is at least they are attempting to make a loose connection to their actual nickname by calling it Stealth black. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't want purple Prince planes so they went with this "Black" which again is really more greenish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that the Jets/NFL marketing Dept. did some due diligence into what "the fans", i.e. the gear-buying public, wanted from a Jets Uniform/Helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
