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.

However, the person added serifs/points to the letters that aren't there in the social media graphics. Should be more italicized. This one looks half done!

The elongated horizontal bars in the E and the elongated bottom of the S of the old mark take away a lot of negative space. The old mark is better IMO 1 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Star Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I will compare these two, The original had more flare and it was more italicized. This one is the logo they use for the legacy helmets. I wish it was on a green background and white lettering instead of reverse, but I got this from The Wiki. Compared to this half assed job here, This one that a redditer did was very rushed. They did not do any research to the 1978-1997 logos. They are familiar with the uniform years being 1978-1990 and 1990-1997 which to me is fantastic, but they need to use this font, Serpentine Sans Font | Webfont & Desktop | MyFonts to capture the feel of the logo and play with it on illustrator or just take the original from the PNG file and on photoshop copy most of the lettering and make the copy areas into a path and they have something to work on. But Serpentine Sans is the very close to the actual 1978-1997 logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before on here, and I'll say it again, this logo looks like it could've been released today. Just like the Bills and Miami Hurricanes logo, it's timeless despite being released over 40 years ago. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I guess I kind of thought there was at least an informal prohibition on that sort of thing across the Big 4. (Except NYI in 1997, obviously. The Fisherman was reviled.) 5 hours ago, Cujo said: The only thing that bugged me about this logo was it dubbed as the Jets' primary logo and script logo. Having thought more about this…has this been true of any other NFL logo of the Super Bowl era? Maybe the Rams at some point in the ‘90s - or was the helmet always the primary pre-2000? I guess the Big Blue Wrecking Crew-era Giants, but then when they switched to the ny logo, they had the good sense to retain the underlined logo as their wordmark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna say the 95-99 St. Louis Rams used "Rams" with the arch and their primary, and just plain "Rams" without the arch as their script. The 80s-90s GIANTS even used a plain Impact-type font for their script. Then flipped GIANTS to their script when they went to NY in 2000. So it was never used as both at the same time like the Jets. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right! How could I forget the Giants’ red end zones with blue team name and white outlines from SB XXI? Simple font without the italics or outlines. That was in their end zones. Related, the Jets’ end zones in the ‘80s and ‘90s were disappointingly plain. They just left the field its natural green color rather than painting it and then slapped the logo down in white, IIRC. Hopefully this time around they exercise a bit more creativity with their end zone designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 For what it's worth back in the 90s there was some application of the Jets logo on a green oval of some sort here and there, mainly in video games like NFL Quarterback 98 9 Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get sales with all the new stuff with the new updated logo, while still selling throwback merchandise with the old logo. And in a few years, they can add throwback merchandise with the middle logo they just got rid of. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nintendo 64 and Playstation 1 versions of the game came out at the exact same time in September 1998 and by that point the Jets had gotten new logos and uniforms but somehow ONLY the Playstation 1 version had the new look and a crude last second helmet graphic. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
