But it's not horrific. And I really did't need the NEW YORK on the chest. So the only things that bother you are the only significant design elements? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

oldschoolvikings Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The uniform would be improved greatly but simply dropping the black. Plain white and green numbers, and gray facemask (or white, if you want to be a giant baby about it). It's exactly like the addition of the dark gray trim on the Lion's numbers... it's painfully obvious that it's only there to justify the ugly color rush alternative. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I still say the disconnect is the JETS logo on the helmet. All other elements are streamlined and sharp yet the JETS logo on the helmet is arced. The old Concord logo would have matched perfectly with this set.

Brian E Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 20 hours ago, Ice_Cap said: Eh, that seems to narrow-minded if I'm being honest. Sure, it's what you grew up with, but the Jets have been a white helmeted team for most of my football fandom. And while I'm not a Jets fan? I gather there are a lot of Jets fans who are my age who likely feel the same way. The Jets' problem is that they're destined to alternate between white and green helmets. The grass is always greener (heh), and once whatever the current look is has been worn long enough? The other option will seem "fresh" and appealing. So what's the answer? I would say white helmets. Why? Well arguing about whose childhood is more valid is pointless, so I'll just say this. The New York Jets wore white helmets when they won what is arguably the most famous football game in history. Much like the Edmonton Oilers should probably embrace the Gretzky look? The New York Jets should endeavour to look like the best versions of themselves. think it's pretty much the opposite of narrow minded. i agree that some fans will associate themselves more with the white helmet, and some with the green. i have no problem with that. what i was taking umbrage with is that a green helmet is a huge brand divestiture for the franchise. and i'd also quibble further and say "the best versions of themselves" is also a matter of opinion.

Pengin. Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Either embrace the black outlines or lose it. Black outlined numbers ruin the flow of the jersey without any other black elements. The New York wordmark needs to be a tad bit smaller too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the game that enshrined the New York Jets in the popular consciousness of football fans, and football lore, qualifies.

Not just in terms of on-field success, but in the public's perception as well. 3 hours ago, Brian E said: think it's pretty much the opposite of narrow minded. My point is that saying the Jets look like the Jets again because they have a green helmet is narrow minded, considering that there's likely more Jets fans who associate them with white helmets given the longer tenure of white helmeted Jets teams. Again though, trying to see who's childhood perception is more valid is a losing proposition because it all comes down to nostalgia. I'm just saying that the "Jets look like the Jets because they have green helmets" is FAR from a universal sentiment.

Chawls Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 > What SHOULD the Jets colors be? (IMO their current green and white. No black. White helmet and green facemask) > What SHOULD the Eagles colors be? (IMO Kelly green and grey/silver. I’d feel better about them being the ones with the grey facemask on a green helmet. Black only as a tertiary color, if necessary) Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I wouldn't give to stand outside and receive beers delivered to me via little parachutes.

Gothamite Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I don’t love the British Racing Green, but it would be helped by being surrounded by brighter colors. That charcoal and black really make the whole thing dour. Keep the green, pair it with silver and white only, and it would be worlds better. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

I've always associated that as more of a pine or forest, maybe with a tad blue in there.

dont care Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I don’t like the current shade of midnight green for the eagles. It has way too much blue and is too dark. I don’t think removing black and charcoal will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
