DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Big fan of the green helmet. Looked fantastic on the field during highlights. Overall, this entire set is growing on me a lot. The white jersey/pants combo looked sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Only thing really holding this set back for me is the lack of an actual jet for the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Barrel Man Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Overall, they look pretty sharp. The green is so much better than on their last set. But I agree with those saying that one of the only things really missing is the 80's helmet logo. They really should have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I agree not bad, a little tired of the pant stripe point... I give them credit for doing something new, swallow your pride Mr. Blank!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That logo, with this current new shell, would be a very decent 8.5/10 for me. That's the only thing missing. The pointed shoulder and pant stripes seem like they were made to match the "landing jet" wordmark. Seems like a missed opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerLurker Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Jets looked fantastic on the field last night. Way better than the promo pictures. I dare say they’ve now got my favorite uniforms in the AFC East. Those helmets are a billion times better than the old ones especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimalCookie Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I really liked these at the reveal, and they look even better on the field. This is a top 3 Nike redesign, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L10nheart404 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 All in all, I knew from the beginning that these would look much better in action. Jets fans should be at least satisfied with the change. I mean... We all can't have our way right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and the black outlines are incredibly unnecessary; and probably just a flimsy excuse to have a black alternate. I'm sure they'll bother me much less on the green jerseys, where they're less noticeable. Regardless, if they're married to that logo then take away the football and just put a jet inside the oval. The one from the 1963 helmet (minus the JETS wordmark, of course) would do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 While the helmet looks great on a shelf of retail store, I don't think it goes well with the uniform. If they're not going to go with shiny fabrics that look different under different lighting, then they should have gone with a lighter matte or satin finish that would be more consistent with the green used elsewhere in the set.

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). Haha!! Fergie threw MORE INT's in 1984 than he did in any prior season and was gone from the Bills by the start of the 1985 season, so much for the colored helmet helping him out. When going to the red helmets the Bills left the facemask royal blue which never right. Finally by the 1986 season the white facemask made its debut. JETS: my take is that I like the 'Gotham' green alot, but a football on the helmet logo decal? They blew it, should have been a jet plane. The jersey stripes bug me because it makes it look like they have a cape attached to the back of their jerseys. I'm okay w/ the black outline trim, but not a black jersey or pants. the NEW YORK wordmark below the NFL-100 shield? Any team copying the failed and jumbo 'CLEVELAND' look is not a wise move. Really really dumb. J-E-T-S have always been good about not wearing the same color socks as their pants, and that's about to be broken when they wear their green or black pants ... they need white socks with the green pants, and NOT black socks if they actually wear those black pants. NFL needs to change the rules and allow teams to tweak their uniforms AFTER the first season of a uniform change. Look at Tennessee last season w/ those black numbers on the Columbia blue jerseys, you cannot make out those jersey numbers when watching on TV. Tennessee needs many more tweaks in addition to fixing those jersey numbers on the Columbia Blue jerseys, so I guess they gotta wait another 5 years for that. I hear the NFL is letting the Titans make the white outline of those black numbers thicker for this season, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I don't understand how they have swooshing lines in their uniforms and marketing but don't do it in the helmet logo. By adding the swooping lines in the logo, you could kill two birds with one stone and reference the Namath era and the Esiason era. Something like these sloppy mockups I made would have been way better. I do apologize for the quality of these, I'm not very good at photoshopping.

The last one actually resembles the front view of a plane, so it's definitely passable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The football is the worst part of the helmet (other than the color clash with the uniform.) I get that it's a nod to the Namath and Testeverde/Sanchez era (lol), but it's dumb, redundant, creates a weird arc for the wordmark to follow, clashes with the angles used elsewhere in the uniform, and is redundant and dumb.

Not to be a stickler (who are we kidding the whole CCSL Community is a bunch of guys who obsess on details), The Bills kept the Blue Facemask with the Red Helmet through the 96 Season. They didn't switch to White until 1997, if you look at any pics of Jim Kelly's rookie season you will see the facemasks were still Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
