Woody and Chris Johnson (current caretaker) but Woody is a conservative 70+ year old man. Maybe he says :censored: it and gives them free reign.

While these mockups aren't great, they;re still pretty unique and actually a pretty good incorporation of black into the Jets' identity. Also, the fire emoji stands for 'lit', as in the jerseys are great.

AndrewMLind Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 It’s probably because I’ve seen that photo a thousand times now (and I understand it’s been debunked), but I’ve really warmed up to the idea of black being added to the Jets’ scheme and I am looking forward to some sort of custom number font, too.

I feel the same way. It has to be because I’ve seen that picture so many times lately because my initial reaction was not positive, but repeated exposure to it I’ve really warmed up to the jersey. Not the full body uniform and definitely not the NYJ logo, but a different logo on the chest and I’d be happy with that jersey provided they have better pants and helmets than the full body mock up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great color scheme in general but doesn't make sense for a team called the San Antonio Gunslingers. Maybe the Seahawks and Whalers have influenced me, but I think those colors should be used in a coastal city. Interesting point. I will say this was a more San Antonio/southwestern color scheme . . . and good looking uniform, helmet and logo. 9 hours ago, Sec19Row53 said: I know that.

A few years ago when wearing them for a game or two they looked awful because the black outline was way too thick. Maybe they'll revert to these white throwback jerseys permanently in 2020 when they make their Vegas shift, I wouldn't even mind if they occasionally wore the 1963 helmet decal. That was damn cool during AFL-50 Legacy games in 2009. IF they wear white on white ever again as they did for C-R the need to have NIKE make them a set of white pants with a black inner/outter belt for contrast. I don't know why pants rarely come like that anymore, they've been keeping the belt the same color as the pants. I wonder if the NFL has anything planned uniform and logo-wise for NFL-100 next season? I haven't heard a single peep on that subject, anywhere. The best news would be for the NFL to do away with the one-helmet rule, but ONLY when it comes to throwbacks. Meanwhile the Redskins' simulated leather helmets are in a MD warehouse collecting dust. Washington should at least switch the helmet logo to the same one worn on the jersey sleeve, I mean how hard could that be? Also . . . Those GB Packers throwbacks of 2018 that they wore at home against the BILLS have gotta go. Buffalo only plays at Lambeau once every 8 years and those monstrosities took all the fun out that game seeing by GB wearing those! That kind of throwback ruins a teams identity. Only positive were the khaki pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. For one, "jet black" is a thing. Second, there's usually black lettering on military jets. If they're leaning into the more military-based imagery (which Nike most certainly will), it makes sense, even more than green, in my opinion, but obviously they're not getting rid of green (nor should they).

I like those throwbacks, I'm not sure if it ruins a team's identity -- I do wish that throwback games, especially in the football should be against a rival or other team wearing throwbacks from the same era-ish.

I couldn't possibly agree more! Only thing is . . It won't happen often enough, UNLESS and IF the NFL were to get rid of the one-helmet shell rule that Jed York of the 49ers helped instigate in 2013, and also allow all teams that wanna wear throwbacks be allowed to have NIKE make both a home and away version, and possibly not necessarily having to be from the same season. That, is what made the AFL-50 Legacy games in 2009 so very special. Both teams were wearing their AFL throwbacks, not just one team. Even the refs wore the old AFL red-striped kits. Example: Would like to see Buffalo's 1962/'63 home throwbacks (blue over white) and the 1973 away throwbacks (white over blue pants) .... both had the same grazing Bison logo. The current charging Bison didn't debut until 1974, and was enlarged in 1982. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Bills at Dolphins Hard Rock Stadium . . .

kimball Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Wow ... has it really been since 2013? It doesn't seem like that old of a rule. I know that this has been discussed ad nauseam ... but ... there has to be a way around it by now. Even to limit the pros to a two lid rule is waaaaaaaaay more restricted than what we see in college. I'd love to see more of these era appropriate match ups and it's too bad we want see that next year like we did in '94.
