These new uniforms Jets S-U-C-K Suck Suck Suck

There are things to like in the new New York Jets uniforms, unveiled Thursday night at an event in Manhattan. And they are all mostly defeated by the top of the jersey, the largest and most important piece of the set, which invite the worst possible comparison with an NFL uniform: Arena League.

The helmets are completely green now, shining like never before and they look great. The team also sports a new shade of lighter green, which is a step forward from the old one. (The Jets claim that this shade was specifically designed to be beautiful on TV, which we will see, the new green also has a name, which is normal, but the secondary colors too, which is not the case, since they say hello to "Gotham Green", "Spotlight White" and "Stealth Black." Because you pay a lot the design team, you will not have to accept all the marketing they sell you.)

"It's a statement about the future. I think it's a statement about how we want to be perceived as a little more daring, a little more innovative and a little bigger, "said Jets President Neil Glat. Well, no, it's a ploy to sell goods, but let's take aesthetics for its merit. Here are the road, home and spare uniforms, illustrated on the site of the Jets, which is full of photos from all angles.

I hate jerseys. I hate them! Every detail, wings (or other) shoulders in "New York" crushed over the numbers in front, screams generic. Generics, but also, in one way or another, extremely 2019, and even if it looked good now, they will remain extremely 2019 in five or ten years.

I particularly hate the numbers. According to the Jets, the font is "unique and nervous," but I guess words can mean a lot. The sans-serif font feels amateurish and seems particularly weird for the 1, and the only saving advantage of the black outlines on the numbers for the home jerseys is that it's not as unappealing as the # 1. 39; use of the green outlined in black on the road united.

Black is a novelty in the Jets' color scheme, and there is nothing to improve – let alone new alternative black uniforms that look like Eagles scams. Earlier in the decade, every American sports team apparently had a black substitute, and most have wisely left it out since then. It's extremely, Jets of the Jets, to jump in the trend now, too late.

Look, your mileage can vary with this stuff. Maybe you like the new Jets uniforms. Maybe your child does it! (I can already imagine that the alternative product sells well here.) Do not let anyone else's opinion stop you from loving things. But also, if you want to spend $ 150 for a jersey, you have the right to own something that will not be a regrettable day.
