Scrumptious Ham Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I love the green of his tie. If that's the new green, im pleased. Even with the logo being just a tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be weird to not have it be part of the uniform. Here's where I remind us all that in the off-season leading up to the Snatit's rebranding unveiling, the team utilized a lot of Greek pattern artwork in much of their promotional materials--but none of it showed up on the uniforms themselves. (Thankfully.) Just offering a counterpoint. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearW17hNoName Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It's probably just the lighting of the picture, but the green on the Jets draft caps almost looks like midnight green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, it is a very tricky problem to solve. That being said, I'd have rather they reduce the NEW YORK to make it more visually centered, or simply remove it. ‘Or went with this..

On 4/2/2019 at 6:14 AM, BJ Sands said: I was hoping the Jets would fix the JETS word mark. It's italicized (angular) and the E and T have sharp corners which work with the orientation. But the J and S have rounded corners, which really sticks out when next to the angular letters, like where the J and E meet on the bottom and the T and S meet on top. 99% of typefaces are a mix of curved and angular pieces. In fact, italic letterforms are traditionally more curvy and elegant because the design cues are meant to evoke handwriting. Rarely, if ever, does the fact that they are slanted dictate that they should be made more angular. Not that angular typefaces look bad as italic or oblique styles, but curved typefaces certainly look fine as italics and are much more common. Truth be told, though, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Jets kept this typeface around simply because they commissioned a well-known type designer to create it specifically for them back in 1998 or whenever they launched it (Tobias Frere-Jones if I’m not mistaken). Personally, I don’t think it’s distinctive enough, nor do I think it’s exceptional enough to warrant keeping it around through an identity overhaul, but it was likely a big investment at the time and it’s quite possible they feel it’s a substantial part of their brand. As we can see, though, it’s very difficult to kern well and it’s damn near impossible to center words, especially with a J playing such an important role.

HOOVER Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 What is the official name of the Green used in the Jets' Color Rush uniforms? Looks like an awful lot like this gentleman's tie. And a likely color to go with full-time, since, you know, they've already proven they can use it. "Apple Green" is a name they use in place of Kelly Green in some instances. They have also use "Classic Green" in their golf line, which I would say lands between Kelly & Dark ("Gorge") Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewMLind Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Though we’ve only seen a small fraction of the overall rebrand (and I’d like to hold off on making any real judgements until the uniforms are revealed), I have to say this logo leaves a lot to be desired. I was hoping the Jets would go in a completely new direction rather than modifying a logo that’s already in the bottom half of the league. Moving to the color of that gentleman’s tie would be a positive step, though. (Then again, that would probably look different on matte fabric vs his silk tie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the lighting, or the Eagles' draft caps are actual green instead of midnight teal. The logo is definitely a lighter green than the brim, though that could be just a material or lighting or whatever thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayzcat Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 So I am one of those hoping this logo is a bad joke. Take a look @ this link regarding SI posting info re: 2019 NFL Draft Hats.

If so, I'd expect the Jets' hat is too and they just somehow happened to get hold of it before the rest of us. Plus, the logo closely matches what we saw on the leaked branding guide photo; same design, just the branding guide had a lighter shade of green, which could be caused by a very glossy paper. 2 hours ago, AgentColon2 said: I’m thinking the logo is just a main logo but they’ll use the NY underscored by that angle mark thing. I think it'll be the team name underscored by the angle. The NY hasn't appeared in any of the new branding, has it? Either way, I guess we'll see.

Htown1141 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 For real though, how on earth do people genuinely think that this logo is somehow a "placeholder"? If they wanted a placeholder, wouldn't they use their current logo with a lighter green? Seriously, it's been seen on at least 2 separate instances of the draft hat, and also coupled with ALL THE OTHER DRAFT HATS IN THE GERMAN VIDEO, it seems like wishful thinking/the first stage of grief to think that a placeholder logo got all the way through production and shipping with all the other official hats.
