I appreciate what you're saying but yeah, as a lifelong Jets fan I think the 1998 Vinny T/Curtis Martin reboot of the classic uniforms was the best they've ever looked. I hate the 80s look, very amateurish and generic. That helmet logo was just bad graphic design.

edit: figured out how to embed, nvm

Can't wait!

That's... that's huge, no?

yup I remember that post. That looks good. Maybe even better would be to get rid of the green stripe altogether, just have the green sleeve caps. And like I said, I think the dark green looks good, as long as it's a nice rich hunter green like in the Curtis Martin photo above, rather than the mix of muddy greens they ended up with.

I guess I'm in a tiny minority that much prefers the return-to-classic look of the Jets, including the darker green, before Nike took over and the colors got weird. The dark green and white had a nice frosty, unique look to it. If they could have just cleaned it up so the stripes weren't awkward and the greens were consistent, that would have been *chef's kiss*. I do like the new candy-apple helmet, in a vacuum, and I actually kinda like the black jersey-- would love to see it with white pants. But mostly I wish they did a modern version of:

Oh! Didn't realize that. Still, I refuse to get my hopes up. If the Amazon HQ development on the LIC waterfront had proceeded, I'd be more hopeful but Bezos probably wants nothing to do with NYC now...

So it must be a team that hasn't undergone a redesign in the last 5 years? Or 4 I guess? Dammit, that means it's not the Jets...

I have come to like all the little idiosyncracies that teams have even they result in weird looks, mismatches, etc. Examples: the NY Ginats home and away set. I love that the aways are all red/white/grey, with the helmet the only blue element. I like the silver-green pants of the cowboys. I love the blank right side of the Steelers helmet. These are things that have developed organically and are part of the teams identity. Things like this used to bother me because they didn't match or make sense.
