The New York Jets unveiled their new uniforms on Thursday night, Nike's latest disappointing collaboration with an NFL team looking to modernize its image.
All Air Jordan enthusiasts – I am of course – will tell you, despite the many classics of the giant of footwear and clothing, new looks and new restarts often leave something to be desired.
Jets Brass boasted that their review – if you can even call it that – had been going on for five years. This vast work of planning and creation came down to a slightly modified logo, a different typeface for the numbers and a new shade of green – "Gotham Green" (whoa !!) – related to "Spotlight White" and "Stealth Black", who are pretentious. names for … white and black. Oh, "New York" has also been added to the jersey of a team whose headquarters are and plays his home games … in New Jersey.

Overall, not very imaginative considering the untapped potential of fighter jets, for example, and even worse, considering how the franchise hastily declared this revelation. Legions of disappointed Jets fans on social media have (fairly) considered the new imitations of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League – and these views were among the most diplomatic.
Fortunately, most NFL teams have adhered to threads or signature designs that have proven themselves and that make most things fair.

So, with little to write about the project in three weeks, here are the uniform power rankings you wanted to discuss:
32. Washington Redskins: The products of a bygone era – much like many locals want the current regime to be a bygone era. This ranking would be greatly facilitated by the mere disappearance of the logo of the Indian head that offended so much and the resurfacing of the Florida State color used by the team in the late 60s and in 2002. Or simply by abandoning the entire brand. Yeah, maybe.
31. Cleveland Browns: I appreciate the affinity of their base for the ugly combination of orange and brown colors and the logo-free helmet because the rest of America is up … especially after Nike has managed to make it worse in 2015. But do not be afraid, the Browns have The co-owner, Dee Haslam, said last month: "I think we have succeeded this time." As long as it's less fake, Mrs. H. …
30. Arizona Cardinals: They contracted Buffalo syndrome too often. Do yourself a favor, Cards, and return to Pat Tillman Publishing with the State Flag on the shoulders.

29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Cleaner after removing the mustard stains and abandoned the two-color helmet. But the current feline unfortunately resembles Cheetah's Chester Cheetah – I can not blame Blake Bortles for it.
28. Miami dolphins: To relax – and I've talked to many, many of you over the years – the aquatic mammal jumps out of the water with the South Florida sun as a backdrop , and not like a SeaWorld kite. That said, I prefer the dolphin's previous logo with the headphones and the softer tones of aqua and orange.
27. Baltimore Ravens: They have not been around for a quarter of a century, but they did pretty well, including those unfortunate Dijon trousers in 2015. But at the end of the day, black and purple suggest you were on the wrong side of the fray.
26. Detroit Lions: The personal bias here because I'm more of a Chevrolet guy – it's the Earnhardt fan in me – so Ford's crossover marketing does not help. Overall, nothing unpleasant … except maybe Color Rush money.
25. Atlanta Falcons: It is high time to sweep the remnants of the Michael Vick era for something new … or the "current" flashbacks, which look so much better than the classic ones. Even better? The red helmet associated with the black jersey, around 1966.
24. New York Jets: Meh The only real benefit is the return of the green helmets, which should allow the J-E-T-S to finally back to their much cooler outfits of the New York Sack Exchange salad in the 80s.
23. Titans of Tennessee: I am again update 2018. Of course, I prefer the navy helmets. I am sure I like the shoulder flaps and the "sheath" of the hip, evoking the image of a Roman centurion. Nevertheless, the general panache is missing.
22. Carolina Panthers: The logo is good. The colors are even nice, especially the inclusion of the almost Tar Heel blue. My biggest concern is their longstanding insistence on playing white-on-white at home early in the season, rather than presenting their black and silver or (now) blue and silver options.
21. Cincinnati Bengals: I've always thought that tiger striped helmets were slippery. However, the uniform has deteriorated since the team's two Super Bowl trips in the 1980s, the orange jerseys being exceptionally disgusting and far below the presentation of the Color Rush white tiger.
20. The buccaneers of Tampa Bay: I loveCreamsicles as a child, although the logo Errol Flynn was doubtful, so unique. Still, I also fully endorsed the 1997 makeover, the cutlass and the tattered pirate flag, which are beautifully combined to replace Errol. But Nike has definitely exploded with the revival jerseys introduced in 2014. Please, Bucs, put back those digitized clocks … as far as you want.
19. Denver Broncos: Since Nike dramatically changed them in 1997 – Swooshiness has long been a topic of society's influence – the franchise has won three Super Bowls, so … Personally, I prefer the color-orange weighing orange with the John Elway's helmet logo "D" is paramount.

18. Patriots of New England: Not as good as the predecessor of "Pat the Patriot", but the perennial power has an elegant overall appearance now tied to Lombardis.
17. Buffalo Bills: The return to the white helmets and look of the 1970s helped a franchise that lost its way at the turn of the century, when an ugly piping and multiple shades of blue ruined everything.
16. Giants of New York: It's nice to see the occasional return of the block. GIANTS logo with which I grew up and made famous by Lawrence Taylor. The failures of the '60s are also good, although the G-Men look better in white pants than in gray.
15. Houston Texans: He has always appreciated his simplicity and consistency, his logo perfectly embodying the Texas flag and recognizable cattle of the state.
14. San Francisco 49ers: Back on solid ground after questionable experiences over the years.
13. Chicago Bears: Old school. Pure. I love keeping the initials of George Halas on the left shoulder. I would not mind seeing the white "C" logo of the Butkus and Sayers years from time to time.
12. Minnesota Vikings: The gold helmet croissant merged in my childhood, but what a wonderful epiphany when I realized that the horn was protruding from a Viking helmet made of gold. Some unfortunate adjustments have been abandoned, and they are back on track with this discreet silhouette of rowboats on their shoulders.
11. Green Bay Packers: Stay away from backtracks, and they are fit. Any green Rush color could be nice.
10. Colts of Indianapolis: I am biased because my father loves his old Johnny Unitas helmet. But the simplicity – rarely changed, despite this small amount of money in the 80s – still resonates to the horseshoe.
9. Kansas City Chiefs: Virtually unchanged for nearly six decades, no reason to repair what is not broken. The arrow logo is a beauty.
8. Dallas Cowboys: Classic. Shoutout at the original GM Tex Schramm, who made them wear white at home so that his fans would be treated regularly with a variety of colors while the visiting team sported a horn of plenty of rotating home jerseys . I've always thought that Dallas blue jerseys were very underrated … and their alternative looks with ugly shoulders at the opposite end of the spectrum.
7. Philadelphia Eagles: This model will always be associated with the long-awaited breakthrough of the Super Bowl. And who does not like these helmet wings? Nevertheless, at a visceral level, they should be in Kelly Green rather than in "Midnight Green", right?
6. Los Angeles Rams: Was nice to see them demote both the white and yellow horns of their previous LA relay. For the neophytes of the uniform, it was the Rams who offered us the logo of the helmet in 1948, thanks to the. former player Fred Gehrke. Let's hope that the franchise does not exceed it with a change planned for 2020, when the new stadium will be open.
5. Saints of New Orleans: Very underrated. The gold and the black offer a perfect contrast, while the fleur-de-lis perfectly integrates the civic character.
4. Seattle Seahawks: Purists will probably not agree, but they enjoyed the best redesign of Nike. The base feathers, the link with the base of fans of "12" (including the 12 inside the collar), the distinctive navy and "Action Green" and the revised Seahawk totem fit perfectly to the Pacific Northwest ethos.
3. Los Angeles Chargers: The rule of the flash helmets. And sweet variety, the all-royal Color Rush is arguably the best of the NFL. Nevertheless, I miss helmet numbers when they wear the famous powder blue. And the shoulders and legs were much thinner before the 2007 change – and frankly, I preferred the navy blue helmet and LaDainian Tomlinson white screws, the light blue blues being a welcome treat.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers: Stunning colors (which, like Seattle, reflect the city), a big logo – the trio of hypocycloids recalls the Steelmark symbol used by the American Iron and Steel Institute – and we must like that the left side of the headset is empty. I even love the new, all-black version of Color Rush, which has happily replaced these backdrops of drones.
1. Oakland Raiders: The reference uniform since the Silver & Black brand seems to have been buckled with the blackened shield in 1964. Even though they play badly, they have a spectacular appearance. Solo suggestion: Color Rush black on black.
