And I think “good but not great” was the most common opinion of that logo - though, if I see anyone down on one knee in these parts, I will immediately tell you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do italic numbers ever look good on uniforms though? I guess the Chargers/Lions are fine, but would be better off with different fonts. The Steelers numbers have always looked horrible. If the Jets do go that route they will have to thin out the font a bit and reduce the slant to make it work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that it says the Legacy Whites are staying and that there will just be a new set of green and black, I'd assume, for the green and whites at least, the block numbers will remain. 8 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets do go that route they will have to thin out the font a bit and reduce the slant to make it work. Honestly, I don't even love it for the Lions. It works for the Chargers for some reason. In NCAA football, slanted numbers have bothered me for Mizzou for quite some time. Something about it just feels gimmicky, while simpler more block style numbers makes any set feel more classic. Especially with teams that have a decently deep team history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Lemme clarify my earlier post: I don't believe the Jets will add new customized numbers to their on-field uniforms; I was just saying that I wouldn't be mad if they fleshed out a full set of numbers to accompany the letters in the font they used on that tweet. That said, I personally wouldn't me mad if the Jets were to one day do that...they'd be the one team other than the Chargers for whom that makes sense. And to answer an earlier question as to whether italicized fonts ever look good on a uniform: in my opinion, YES, when done right and makes sense for the overall brand. I just cited one example: THIS, on the other hand, is an example of italic fonts not done right: Aside from some of the usual Nikeistic stylings—namely the opposing hard corners that Nike seems to love to keep doing for reasons—these numbers can't decide whether they're Roman or Italic and end up being neither and both at the same time. (And that's to say nothing about the unnecessary darker gray...but that's for another discussion.) I'll give the Steelers a pass, too, since a/ all that is is italicized Futura Condensed (well, a slightly edited version of it) and b/ it didn't completely come out of left field since it's also been on their helmets going back to the early 70s. I'm not the hater of custom or italic number fonts that some seem to be....BUT they have to be done right to make sense. The thing that does grate my gears is when custom font jobs are so obviously done "just to be custom" without it really making any sense other than just to be cute or "modern". 9 Quote *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...

Someone on the Jets subreddit created a version of the logo using the font from the release.

The primary logo probably won’t - isn’t there something in NFL bylaws that prohibits returning to an old logo, unaltered? - but the script almost certainly will. My guess would be that the logo will become the script inside of an oval, which they’ve used in various ways over the course of the past year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAstrodome Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 No, I think they just rework the concord the same way they turn the football from the original Namath's into an oval. 1 Quote All New: NFL RandomWebsite ★ Behance ★ Twitter ★ Geekier Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
