Obrien2Toon Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Enough with the Titans crap. Hardly any of us ever saw them, and they only wore them for one year. Most of the core of the fan base grew up with those 80's uniforms. That's what we want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus One Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'd prefer them over the Titans uniforms. I think they'd sell more of the '80s throwbacks than the blue and mustard mess. But, for some reason, they seem to want to ignore that part of their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I hated every minute that the Jets wore those stupid 80's uniforms and hope to never see them again. The Titan's uni's are so ugly that they're cool. The Jets current uni's are probably amongst the classiest in the league. But that 80's garb sucked.

slats Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 If I'm not mistaken, the Jets originally changed uniforms in conjunction with changing their helmet to green in large part because they thought it would help Richard Todd find his own receivers downfield (at the time everyone in the division had white hats). Now there's some Jets' history! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's some Jets' history! and they changed back to white because Vinny is color blind and could not see the Green helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's some Jets' history! I always thought they did it for camouflage. Like, they could blend in with the field and sneak up on opposing players. I thought it was genius.

The good was that most of us became diehard Jets fans while they were wearing those unis. I know they were mostly losing seasons, but so what? There were still some great memories from those years.

The Titans unis are trash, but the Kelly Green unis are from a horrible era of Jet football. Seriously. Why would anyone want to reminisce about the dark days of this franchise which those unis represent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastineau Lives Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Well, growing up with the kelly greens, I always dreamt of seeing those uniforms coming out of the tunnel on Super Bowl Sunday. Now that we are no longer pushovers, I would at least like to see that uniform kick ******* a$$ twice a year. If anything, I think there's a better chance the current team makes the kelly greens look good than the old uniform ruining our enjoyment of the current team. Plus, the Titans uniforms really are quite disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obrien2Toon Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I guess alot would depend on your age. Those in their late 20's, and 30's might want to see this more because of the nostalgia of what we grew up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I have a WW85 throwback, I would rather not see the Jets wear those again. I am sure I am in the minority here, but I actually like the Titans uniforms.....I hope they wear them this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I remember hating those unis when the Jets wore them, wishing they'd switch back to the SBIII unis. The Jets current uniforms are easily the best part of Bill Parcells' legacy with the franchise. I'm not a big fan of throwback/alternate uniforms but if they did anything I'd like to see them bring back the old plane logo from their first year as the Jets, 1963.
