You can help decide which uniform the New York Jets will wear
It seems as if New York Jets fans spend more time discussing uniforms than any other NFL fanbase (I may be partially responsible for that, as I talk about the uniforms way too much).
The franchise is embracing its fanbase’s passion for fashion. On Friday afternoon, the Jets’ official Twitter account posted a poll that asked fans to vote on what color pants they think the team should wear with its white jerseys when they travel to Minnesota on Sunday.

The Jets made sure to let fans know that they need to have their votes in by 11:30 a.m. ET.
yes this is real, you are actually deciding what we're wearing.

As of the time of this writing (9:03 a.m. ET), the black pants are in the lead at 46.1%. The white pants are in a distant second place at 28.3% while the green pants are in third at 25.7%.
The Jets famously got off to a 5-0 start when wearing white-on-black this season. That streak was snapped in the Jets’ 10-3 loss to New England a couple of weeks ago. Despite the loss, it seems fans still believe in the good mojo associated with the black pants.
New York has worn black pants in eight consecutive games – six with white jerseys and two with black jerseys. The Jets have not worn white pants since donning a white-on-white look in each of the first three games of the season, a stretch in which they went 1-2 under Joe Flacco.
We have yet to see the Jets wear green pants this season. They haven’t even worn their green jerseys. The Jets only have two home games remaining, and one of those (vs. Jacksonville) is scheduled to be an all-black game, so there is a realistic chance that the Jets go the entire season without wearing green jerseys or green pants.
Which color pants did I vote for, you may ask? Well, I’ll let the facts do the talking.
Mike White career passer rating by pants color:
BLACK: 125.0 (66/86 for 815 yds, 7 TD, 2 INT)
WHITE: 46.7 (44/76 for 453 yds, 1 TD, 6 INT)Should be a no-brainer. https://t.co/PI36X5OQfa
