Since we are in the process of cleaning house in the FO and coaches, I think it's also time for the Jets to update their uniforms and logo, etc. I'm actually sick of the Jets current uniforms and think we need a total upgrade and a sleek change. Something modern - a fighter Jet on the side of the helmet releasing a sidewinder. Maybe even matted, unpainted silver helmets with a dark green fighter Jet streaking by. If we are going to make wholesale changes, let's do it right. The current uniforms can be our throwback uniforms that we wear a couple times a year. But I want something new and exciting. Now. Let's do it!

So who actually is responsible for this decision? Is it the owner's alone, or someone else?

Fully agree with the OP. One of three things needs to be done, and ideally I'd like to see all three combined.
1- Revert back to kelly green. This was the color of the Namath Jets that was corrupted by Parcells. The late 90s are over, the dark, muted monotones are out. Teams like the Chargers figured this out years ago and went back to an historical AND visually pleasing lighter, crisper color. And yet we plod along, the green getting darker each year for some unknown reason.
2- Add some sort of aviation element to the jerseys (not the logo). Heck, we have an easy option - the swoosh from the J in the 90s Jets logo. This swoosh represents a plane's vertical stabilizer, and is instantly recognizable as NY Jets, yet also unique to us (it is far enough away in appearance from Nike that we'd be fine).
This should have been on our shoulders or thighs a long time ago. It looks swift, and relates to our team name identity without being tacky.
3- Change the helmet logo. For a team named the Jets, we have an oval sack of crap for a logo that looks incapable of any swift, offensive movement...the kind of which you would expect from a damned Jet.
Furthermore, there's a branding problem, in that our current logo is such a sack of shit that nobody can really replicate it without visual aide. I'm as devout of a fan as they come, and if asked to draw the Jets logo right now I would have no idea how to do it. It has too many layers, the football looks like a smushed turd, it's just a really sloppy execution from the 1960s when such things weren't as important, and you had some classics emerge but other duds. We got a dud.
When trying to grow a global brand it's important to have a cleaner logo that people can actually mentally envision and that can become an "icon". The Green Bay "g". The Pastriots' Spyin Elvis.
What do we have? Uhh it says Jets inside of a hideous oval and there's some faint lettering behind it.
Time for a change, Woodrow.

God no. We have one of the top uniforms in the league. There is a reason the Raiders, Colts, Chiefs, etc have such timeless uniforms...cause they go for a classic look that doesn't age and they don't mess with them too much. We have one of the well tailored suit and ties of the NFL. Please god don't less us chase the next MC hammer pants like the Dolphins, Seahawks, Jags, Bengals and Bucs.

That being said I hate what Nike did with the majority of the unis and I hope they change our off color green back. I would love an alternate with the cool Jet (literally) logo, but that's about it.
