BBTV Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 It’s a wonderful idea and would look great on a demo helmet, but I think that it would just look like a cracked shell in action. Might not even be allowed because cracks, rare as they are, might not be instantly noticeable.

However, I could absolutely see them using this sort of “marble column” reasoning in their Nikespeak to justify busting out the matte white.

FightingGoldenDevil Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 These changes only show that the AFC South (sans Colts) is probably the worst looking conference besides the NFC West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my exact thought. As happy as I was to see the patriots loose, I couldn’t help but feel this was a serious blow to the return of Kelly green.

BadSeed84 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Yea, the midnight green should stay, I was on the fence about kelly green returning, as I like the midnight green too. The eagles should keep everything the same for now, tho if the 1 helmet rule ever gets dropped then yes I would like a kelly green alternate.

BBTV Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's possible that if not for the one-helmet rule, we'd be a year or two away from kelly green returning, since they said they want to test it out for a season or two before committing. Not sure if this changes that, but it's not even worth discussing until / unless the helmet rule changes. They simply don't believe in making wholesale changes all at once without having the chance to test / phase it in.

And nothing wrong with that. I always liked the Eagles in the midnight green, they look fantastic with those colors. I know the majority wants kelly green back and that's fine, but personally I am growing into the midnight green colors the Eagles are wearing. IMO, I still believe the Jets should be the team wearing kelly green like they did from 1978 through 1997 (being slightly modified beginning in 1990). That is one of the best and nicest uniforms of any NFL team in any era, never understood why they went back to the original dark green 1960s style look.

BBTV Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 So do the champs wear the SB patch on their jerseys on opening day, or is it a special "champions" patch, or nothing at all?

Asking for a friend. Piggybacking off of this, do teams normally release more jerseys for sale with the Super Bowl patch after they win? Or do they just sell through the initial stock that was produced before the game? Also asking for a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 * NOT INTENDED AS A THREADJACK * To follow my prior post, I'm pretty sure the Jets wore what we would call kelly green. They at least wore a lighter shade of green than they wear today. However, in looking for pictures, I found multiple variations of the same pictures that look like completely different shades of green. This just shows how unreliable photos can be sometimes.

AstroCree Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The green is still green in those photos. No matter the shade, it’s always looked green. What the Jets wear today don’t look green all the time. They look brown. I think a darker shade of green fits better for the Jets than Kelly but I just want them to look GREEN AGAIN! It’s not hard! There’s no reason why this is taking so long! Does no one in that organization who handles the uniforms notice this? It’s been 6 years since Nike took over and the Jets haven’t looked good since, FIX IT DAMNIT! Just use the color rush jerseys but with white sleeves. There! The job is done!

Yes, that means that Midnight Green is probably staying for the foreseeable future, but credit where credit is due.
