Crabcake Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yeah I don’t get the hate for the Jets’ new look. I can certainly see why some would call them amateur but I think the old set was brutally outdated and begging for an update. They could have pulled it off better, but at least the shade of green works. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 If the Jets got rid of black and made sure that their pants and socks contrasted they'd have a great set. As it stands, they're good, better than their previous set, but could be much better with a couple tweaks. 6 the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't a "traditional" look, ie a plain green jersey with perhaps a single sleeve stripe and college block font its garbage. Unless of course you were wearing an overly designed hot mess for a long time before that, then simplifying is bad. Thats the attitude towards football uniforms by a lot of users on this board. Personally I don't hate the Jets new look either, though I honestly think they should have just taken their old uniforms and brightened the green. Maybe throw in a green helmet too and you've got a great look. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably just a quick and dirty mock-up, but I wouldn’t mind it. My guess is those are practice jerseys... 4 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Conversely, the all black is probably my favorite of the set and I wish they treated it like a regular one and used it’s elements interchangeably. I wouldn’t mind seeing black socks with the regular green over white or green socks with the black jersey and pants or the black jersey over white pants and black socks. 58 minutes ago, ramsjetsthunder said: I firmly believe this and Cincinnati are 1A and 1B on NFL helmet rankings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 It's a lousy helmet because it almost never matches the color of the uniform, and the logo (specifically the football) is bad. It would look better if it just said JETS without the ball (or just NY.) 19 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I don't get it, it's just a basic wordmark & football. A name like Jets has so much potential when it comes to branding, so the last rebrand was a missed opportunity to inject some life into the logos. It isn't even the nicest green helmet in the league. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing. It’s so simple it’s perfect. Plus, wordmark/script helmet logos are hardly ever done at the pro level anyway. I’ll take this over the standard “ny” any day- A few beauties from the college level- 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you in the color of the helmet and think the base is fantastic. The new logos are absolute garbage, though. Had they used the original green helmet as an inspiration, I’d be way more sold. As it stands now, they look like placeholders for something better. 13 On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

They could have come up with a really cool jet logo. It could have set them apart from the rest of the league in a big way. What they have now is very Madden create-a-team. Not bad just generic 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenTino Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I don’t mind the Jets’ current set, but the football in the helmet logo just looks so out of place. Everything else in their current look is sleek and angular, and the football with its rounded edges looks bland and dated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I like script helmets when the script is actually a script and when it curves with the helmet. A straight wordmark isn't as good. It'd be better if the helmet included an actual jet and not a football. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The thing is, the Jets can still accomplish a throwback uniform However, at the same time, the current helmet was a great way to blend two eras together. The above 80s-90s look plus the “classic” look It fits well within the current identity and a jet doesn’t have to be on the helmet. Much like the prior set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 When you try to blend eras, you usually end up representing neither. I'm totally fine with just a word, be it JETS, NY, or even NEW YORK. But the ball ruins it. 5 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
