The Jets kicked off their offseason Monday and also revealed the new uniforms they'll be wearing this season. Team owner Woody Johnson announced on Sunday at the Super Bowl that the team will change its look for next year. The team shared the new uniforms, known as the “Legacy Collection,” on its website. These uniforms are a throwback to what the team wore in the 1980s and were briefly worn for a few games in the 2023 season.
Johnson stated, “We work for the fans,” in response to the team's decision to return to its roots. Fans have been clamoring for a return to the classic New York Jets look, and the team has listened. The new uniforms are designed to maintain the Jets' identity while updating the club's logo, which fans consider the team's most recognizable feature.
In the 1980s, the Jets only had green and white uniforms, but this season they add a black uniform and a black alternate helmet to their collection. This new look aims to pay homage to the team's history while giving them a fresh and updated look for the upcoming season.
