JetNation Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Courtesy NY Jets.com Green & White Will Wear New Unis One Time – Oct. 14 vs. Buffalo As the 2024 New York Jets reported for training camp, the organization paid tribute to its past with the unveiling of “The Classic” uniform. “The Classic” is both a nod to the regalia the team wore in their 1968 championship season and the familiar design of the uniform worn from 1998-2018. On Monday, Oct. 14th, the team will debut “The Classic” when they host the Bills at MetLife Stadium. “The Classic” fills the fourth available spot in the team’s “closet” and is part of a larger NFL platform. With white jerseys and white pants, the Jets classic uniform pays homage to the attire the team sported during their Super Bowl III landmark triumph over the Baltimore Colts. “The Classic” also has a clean front with no patch as a tribute to the ’68 jersey along with the same number and letter fonts. The helmet, updated with a gray facemask to replicate the 1968 headgear, features the same white shell and the same logo from 1998-2018. The green in the decal and stripes matches the team’s current “Legacy Green”, which is an in-between shade between the 1968 Kelly Green and the 1998-2018 Hunter Green. During the Jets’ April rebrand and unveiling of three “Legacy Collection” uniform versions, the team introduced the legacy black uniform/helmet as its alternate uniform. The Jets will don their black uniform on Halloween when they play host to the Houston Texans for a Thursday night clash. With the “Legacy” and “Classic” ensembles reintroduced over the past four months, the Jets are making a return to their two most iconic identities to the field. Not only was “The Classic” worn for one of the most significant moments in pro football history but it provides the franchise an opportunity to highlight a uniform worn by 15 of its 19 players in its Ring of Honor. And on Oct. 14 vs. the Bills for one night only, the Jets will hit rewind to a familiar sight as a timeless tradition lives on.
