A team can have a classic look, but try something different once or twice a year to sell more jerseys. Not that those are the best design examples, but the idea behind is smarter than trying to fix a classic look that isn't broken. Color Rush is a step in the right direction. But I think they can be a little bit more creative and flexible. As long as the uniform is only worn a few times a year. Agreed! I think it's a wise branding strategy. Green Bay, Pittsburgh, New England, & Washington have rolled out a bunch of throwbacks/alternates without changing their main look in decades. Nobody seems to mind as much when teams bust out crazy alternates... teams like Houston, Buffalo, the Giants, etc. could keep their current look for a long time & work in some alternates instead.

Around the Horn Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Obviously the Jets aren't changing this year but I found it interesting that some players are publicly advocating for a switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pleased when the Jets and Giants both reintroduced their classic uniforms. While I hope that the Giants never go back to their 1980s style, I think it's time for the Jets to do so. The Jets' wordmark is short enough to look good on the helmet. Also, it includes a design feature that alludes to the name. In these two respect, it is unlike the awkward Giants' wordmark, which always looked terrible on the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDizzle12 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 That Jets logo is a million times better than the football. Never understood why it isn't used anymore. Also a green helmet would work better in a division currently made up of 3 white helmets and a silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I always like the GIANTS. I'm an 80s kid. That Jets concept needs to happen, stat. Green/white/white would still look great too. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be super serious about it, seeing all his tweets with that hashtag. And he seems to have good taste in uniforms. Some of the fans posting concepts not so much. I like their current design, but it's been ruined by Nike's inabiliy to make green, or make the shoulder stripes look decent. If we knew they would end up looking like that picture I'd be all for a change, but we know Nike would have to throw in some dumb twist that will mar an otherwise good look.

C-Squared Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Maybe, as an alternate/color rush uni, a fauxback with the 80's logo in kelly green on a white helmet and some minor, Vikings-esque Nike-fied uni details.

Agreed - and I can't remember where I heard this - but one of the reasons the Jets switched to green in the 80s was because everyone in their division had White and they felt Green would give their QB a competitive advantage.

I can agree with that as a rule of thumb, but I think this is a bad example to use for support; that’s a great looking uniform.

If the Jets took the road the Packers have (not sticking to the league template but using one that works for them) we wouldn't still be arguing about that shade of green.

H11K Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Dolphins CEO and President on when the uniform changes are coming. I realize it's april fools but this doesn't seem like he's messing with the person that asked. He had also been posting subpar concepts as "uniform sneak peaks" throughout the day which are clearly an april fools thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
