That green stripe too.... with the black.... that's just fucking ugly. Couple this with the new uniforms my Atlanta Hawks just unveiled and it looks like I'm gonna be sitting this sports year out. Futuristic retro with those Hawks uniforms. God Awful.

I respectfully disagree. The NFL wraps itself in the American flag more than any other sport. Have you ever been to a game? Giant Flags, black hawk helicopters, fighter jets overhead. So, not sure that it would be that big of a strech to have a fighter jet (a shilloutte of an anonymous one then) on the side of our helmets. I guess NE should change their name from the Patriots and not have a minute man on their helmet either? As for 9/11, I doubt having a plane on the helmet (especially one that looks like a milatry jet) would be a problem for any NYer. I'm a NYer and was here on 9/11 and didn't think of a jet on the side as being an issue. Do you see much of those black hawks or fighter jets at the Mexico or London games? I bet not. You can leave the fighter jets at home but it's hard to scrub them off the helmets before the games. The problem isn't American patriotism wrapped up in the sport. It's actively sold as American football overseas. That is not the same as associating violence or militarism. Generally you are just not going to see any pro team adopt a logo that conveys violence or a military association that isn't at least turned into an extreme cartoon design. Look at the Patriots, Raiders, Vikings and Buccaneers. No aggressive or violent mascots. Same goes for the other pro sports. An association with violence is bad for business. They want people to associate sports with fun and family. It sells better. I say we just go with this logo (Homer Simpson wore it when he went to Brazil and everyone knew he was an American): Attachments:

I guess the Hawks demographic is now the 18-22 crowd. SMDH

I love it. Can't wait for new, black, Jets gear.
Bring of the change, down with tradition.
Black uniforms are awesome, sell more, a better represent the racial identity of the players.
Overdue IMO. Out with white, in with black!

I saw speculation that it's a giant black matte sticker. That means it fulfills the "same helmet every game rule."
It looks like it might be for a flamboyant 3rd uniform that should be fun from a marketing standpoint but not from an "angry middle aged men on a message board" standpoint.

There is zero chance that any military style jet is placed on a Jets uniform. Or any other uniform in the NFL. Among other reasons, the NFL wants to expand globally and the last way that happens is if it looks like the US military is invading their country. I'm not sure how many New Yorkers will feel about the Jets returning to a plane-based logo after 9/11. There is a special kind of crack you are smoking, and you need to quit holding out on the rest of us. I bet it's hand wringing liberals like you that think that removing the confederate flag from the top of the General Lee is going to stop white kids from shooting people.

Our Nike uniforms suck. Especially the green ones. Something needs to be done. I think if they were going to add a color silver would be better than black. Harder to find silver yarn, but I agree.

Personally I don't give a fuck if the NFL slaps military references on uniforms or mascots but I don't have a monetary interest in pro sports. If I'm wrong then just point to which pro teams in any pro sport here disprove my point. At best you get the Cavs or Sabres who have swords in their logos and the Braves who have a hatchet. Not exactly the same thing as a fighter jet or any other piece of twentieth century combat weaponry.

Of course the Detroit Lions don't have a tank on their helmet, it's because they are the fucking Detroit Lions, not because of some grand scheme to prevent shoving the American military down other countries throats via American sports logos. Good god.

Addidas needs to make the uniforms. And just get rid of the black and throw a splash of red in. Just a little red enough to wet my beak. Old Jets helmet the plane red
