NFL Changes - 2016

Recommended Posts

These are my wish lists for changes next year and beyond:

Eagles should keep the midnight green, looks cool, and besides the kelly green will fit more with the Jets than the Eagles. Jets knocked it out of the park with the 1978-97 kelly green jerseys and helmets.

Not to nit pick but the Jets never wore kelly green. Kelly green has always been an Eagles color IMO. The Jets wore a much darker shade of green (almost hunter green for those years). I think when ppl think of the Jets they picture them in their current Joe Namath era unis.

This is hunter green? Our Pantone expert Colorwerx lists Kelly Green as both a Jets color and an Eagles color worn in the 80s and 90s.

Meh- The Jets always seemed darker to me...

Lighting. There's plenty of pictures where those Eagles jerseys look dark too.

The Jets were Champion, and I think had the "dazzle" sleeves, or at least used some kind of "shinier" material, vs the Eagles flat mesh Russel jerseys. Some Champion and all Wilson and all or most Starter jerseys seemed brighter than RA due to the fabrics.

Here's a good example

Wouldn't it be sweet to see something like this for the Titans? Still a white helmet so no need to worry about the helmet rule and this is just something different for a change. Especially the light blue stripe

I'd rather they just use their pants stripe on the helmet and ditch those silly points they ripped off of the Ravens.

And the reason they wore it this season was because they wore it for 35 years, from the day they became the Jets through 1997.

Did the Jets have some major anniversary this season? Why couldn't they have worn it last season or the upcoming one for the same reason?

I've been saying since Day One that the Titans should have used the "'T" on their helmets instead of the ugly asymmetrical flaming ball...thing...

Yeah, that would be a huge improvement.

I knew I'd heard the Jets referred to as a hunter green before and just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy...Not a big deal either way bout found this:

Yes, the Jets wear Hunter Green now. They wore Kelly Green from 1962 through 1997.

Fun fact: the Jets adopted the exact same shade of green worn by the Packers.
