On Monday, the New York Jets began their offseason program and unveiled their new uniforms for the upcoming season. The team owner, Woody Johnson, announced on Super Bowl Sunday that they would be changing their look to return to their roots. The team shared the new uniforms, known as the “Legacy Collection,” on their website. These uniforms are a throwback to what the team wore during the 1980s and were briefly worn during a couple of games in the 2023 season.
Johnson stated, “We work for the fans,” in response to their decision to return to the classic look of the New York Jets. The fans have consistently asked for a return to this iconic style, and the team listened. The new uniforms are designed to maintain the Jets’ identity while updating their logo, which is considered one of their most recognizable marks by fans.
During the 1980s, the Jets only had green and white uniforms but this season they are adding a black uniform and a black alternate helmet to their collection. This new look is meant to honor the team’s history while also giving them a fresh and updated appearance for the upcoming season.
