NY Jets Logo + Uniform Concept

[Ben Schwartz]

I saw the building instantly, def pretty clear. I like it but sort of looks like a syringe to me.

The Empire State/Jet combination is utter brilliance. I didn't even think 9/11 until it was mentioned, and I think the connection is tenuous at best. This is an incredibly solid concept - well done!

He didn't combine a 747 with the Twin Towers in the logo, calm down.

Now had Bin Laden made a Jets concept...

...if you don't have a sense of humor, the Terrorists win.

I really like what you've done with the logo. One of my first attempts at making a logo was of a Jet/Skyscraper that I posted here way back in 2002:

Wow. Flashbacks. Good idea, but the delivery definitely needed work but i abandonded it and moved on.

Anyway, the jet logo doesn't look right on its side. It needs to stand up, otherwise it looks like it's laying on the ground.

Alright so I made a few changes after seeing some suggestions:

-Flipped the logo upward, added a bit of detail to avoid blandness in the wings compared to the rest of the logo, and made the whole thing a little less vertically long.

-Changed the striping in the jerseys a little to make the overall design a little less complicated.

-I tried putting the logo vertical on the helmet, but it just doesn't look good to me. Instead, I angles it a little, which I like a lot better.

I like the angled treatment, though I prefer the first jet over the most recent incarnation. (the length and simplicity were good, keep the wings plain)

Much better. Still have one red bar on the facemask on both uniforms. If you fix that it will look much better.

Great update! Nice work on the uniform.

I'll be honest, I'm staring at this thing really hard and can't see any red. Is is really that easy to see, and I'm just that colorblind?

EDIT: Well after staring at my screen as if it were one of those 3D optical illusions, I finally caught the red.

[FGWB]

What red facemask?

Am I missing something?

EDIT: Nevermind. I was looking at the helmet concept. Not the front view of it.

I love the concept for the logo. Combining the Empire State Building and the Plane is genius. The uniform is alright, but i just dont like the shoulder striping. I think their current set works well. Still, that logo is amazing.

[omnivore]

Creative yes. But I think the plane would be a no-go.

I've been going through this thread, and was going to suggest the tilting of the jet on the helmet exactly like that, but you got to it before I even got a chance to say it or even look at the thread.

However, the upright jet and typeface seems to be as flat as the original logo try. I think it would look great if you had the diagonal plane overtop of the typeface, perhaps with some curved flight lines. Here's a quick and very bad mockup:

I feel this look gives it more dynamicism (is that a word?).

Like pretty much every NFL primary logo, the logo is supposed to be a symbol on its own. I wouldn't want to combine it with the wordmark for I feel that would be very out of place.
