But they decided they needed an overhaul for some reason. That's why the Jets have completely new uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously won't be an exact match to the real thing but worth a look. I feel like those Pocket Pros aren't properly glossed. That one almost looks like it has a satin finish a la the Vikings'. Not that it looks bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed.. the newer Jets helmets appear to be more similar to the previous Vikings helmets, and somewhat similar to the Redskins helmet.. it's a metallic flake paint, with very fine grained flakes, that may have a few different shades of flake colors, then likely multiple layers of high gloss clear coat to add that depth of color, ranging from bright kelly to nearly black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My iPad isn’t letting me link a pic, but the eagles wore that vs the 49ers a few years ago (before the 49er redesign). Found it on 247sports where they ranked that combo 6 on the greatest eagles uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously better than black over black (will I ever pass up an opportunity to rip on monochrome football uniforms? Nope) but still not a good look. The Jets would probably look at least a little better since they actually wear green instead of this vomit-inducing hue the Eagles continue to mistakenly believe is a viable choice. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about this combo because the pants have no black. I think it might look weird having a black heavy top with green striping over green pants with white striping and no black. I don’t think it will look like a unified set. I know some people have said the Jets look “high school” with the big New York on the front, but I think going black over green will look pretty “high school” because it will look like a green and white high school team who wanted a “black out” night, but could only afford the jerseys.

Just wear black socks too and I think it would make up for the lack of black in the pants. Though, a black outline on the uniforms' various stripes would help.

Somewhat like my youth football club. Needless to say I'm fond of that potential combo, but others might not be. Hope to see the Jets do it nonetheless.

Some would argue a simple black jersey only would be the proper way to do a blackout.. the monochrome all-black look is so tired and unnecessary at this point..

oldschoolvikings Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I'm a fan of that font. It's custom, but still feels classic. To anybody who doesn't care about these things it would just seem like a standard number, no different from a dozen other teams, but if you do care, it's one of a kind. IMO, that's the best way to go... try a little subtlety. Full sewn-on twill numbers on the practice jersey? How common is that?

joekono Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The more I look at these unis the more I believe what I always believed... they should have just went to Kelly Green for the uniforms they already had. These are OK but Kelly Greeen 1968 would have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Jet's fan sake, let's hope Sam Darnold doesn't have "Joe Ferguson Syndrome" ( For you youngsters, it's the reason the Bills went to red helmets because Joe Ferguson, the Bill's QB at the time threw so many interceptions and the AFC east had the Bills,Colts,Dolphins and Patriots in white helmets).

IMO, that's the best way to go... try a little subtlety. It’s essentially the Jaguars’ number set with a few modifications made to simplify it. The 4 looks way too heavy and compact compared to the other numbers, though. That’s a shame.

In real life, they are very green. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
