New York Jets logos and uniforms

The following is the history of the New York Jets logos and uniforms.

Logos

The team's logo in 1963 consisted of a green airplane with the word "JETS" written on its side. The logo was changed a year later to a football shaped oval with the letters "NY" superimposed, and superimposed over that, both the word "JETS" and a football in green. In 1967, the logo's colors were inverted so that the oval became green, and the word "JETS" and the football became white.

A Little known fact: Leon Hess was a brother of the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity whos colors are Nile Green and Carnation White.

In 1978, the Jets changed both their logo and uniform design. The new logo consisted of the word "JETS" with a futuristic jet above it.In 1998, the team reverted to the 1967 logo, or rather, a modified version, since the oval was now more rounded at the ends and no longer resembled a football. A slightly more modern version of the 1963 uniform design was introduced along with the logo. For both the logo and uniforms, the kelly green of old had been abandoned in favor of a darker shade, essentially forest green.

Uniforms

When the club debuted in 1960 as the Titans, the team wore blue helmets, gold trim, and either blue or white jerseys, with gold pants.

After the club was renamed the Jets in 1963, the uniform design was changed to white helmets, white pants, and either green or white jerseys. The green jerseys had white stripes on the shoulders and white sleeves. The white jerseys had green stripes on the shoulders and green sleeves.

The new uniform design consisted of kelly green helmets with white face masks, white pants, either green or white jerseys. In 1990, the uniforms were updated with a darker shade of green, black trim around the numbers, striping, and helmet, a black face mask, and green pants for road games. The Jets began to move away from wearing the green pants under coach Rich Kotite in 1995 and 1996, and Bill Parcells totally discarded the green pants in 1997, the final year of the futuristic ensemble.

In 2002, the team introduced green pants which are sometimes worn on the road with the white jerseys and at home to form an all green combination.

On October 14, 2007, The New York Jets celebrated their heritage with a special “Titans Throwback Day.” The Jets wore the navy and gold uniforms during their game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The uniform was also worn on December 2, 2007, against the Miami Dolphins, and on September 28, 2008, against the Arizona Cardinals.
