BaumerJet Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 "It was 45-years ago today, Sonny Werblin taught NY to say..." On April 15, 1963 - Sonny Werblin, the club's president and CEO, renamed the team the New York Titans - The New York Jets. The reasons were twofold. At the time, the United States was entering the "Space" or "Jet" age. Commercial airlines were filling the air and soon there would be men walking on the moon. Also the Jets' new venue, Shea Stadium, would be located in Flushing Meadows, between LaGuardia and Idlewild (later renamed Kennedy) airports. Hence, the name New York Jets.
