A new helmet design has entered the New York Jets’ rotation
Wake up New York Jets fans, the team has a present for you.
Following the NFL’s recent rule change allowing teams to wear two different helmets during the 2022 season, multiple clubs have since added new or throwback lids to their uniform ensemble, including the Saints, Texans, Giants, Cowboys, and Panthers.
Now, according to owner Woody Johnson, it’s Gang Green’s turn to spice things up.
Early Friday morning, Johnson teased the release of a new design. He tweeted a six-second video of the Jets’ current helmet on a table, before cutting to what is assumed to be the new design covered by a cloth. The video ends just before said cloth is pulled away, hiding the final reveal.

Adding to the hype, Johnson simply captioned the video with the “eyeballs” emoji, and nothing else.
A half-hour later, Johnson made the official announcement.

The Jets will be adding Stealth Black helmets to their lineup, matching their Stealth Black alternate jerseys already in use.
On top of revealing the design, Johnson also provided the dates of when the new domes will be in action.
New York will wear their new helmets during three home games in 2022: October 30 against the Patriots, November 27 against the Bears, and December 22 against the Jaguars.
Jets players seem to love the new design. Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios, and C.J. Uzomah provided their stamps of approval.
