This week, the New York Jets commenced their offseason program alongside the unveiling of their new uniforms for the upcoming season. The team’s owner, Woody Johnson, had previously announced on Super Bowl Sunday that they would be switching up their look for the upcoming year. The new uniform designs were recently showcased on their website.
The Jets have dubbed the new uniforms their “Legacy Collection,” as they pay homage to the jerseys and helmets worn during the 1980s, which were also featured in a couple of games in the previous season. Johnson stated that the team works for its fans, who have consistently requested a return to the team’s roots. The new uniforms are specifically designed to embody the spirit of the New York Jets while refreshing their iconic logo, considered by fans as one of the most recognizable symbols of the team.
During the 1980s, the Jets donned green and white uniforms, but this season they are adding a black uniform and a black alternate helmet to their wardrobe. This update to their look is part of their efforts to connect with fans and pay homage to their history while moving forward with a modern twist.
