New York Jets fans will get the uniform change they’ve been asking for
Usually, when the clock strikes zeroes at the conclusion of the Super Bowl, it’s a time for fans of 31 teams to stare in awe of the winning team’s celebration and think, “Man, I can’t wait until we get there.” This is a particularly familiar feeling for New York Jets fans.
But Woody Johnson and the Jets’ social media team had no interest in such activities.
At the exact moment Kansas City sealed its third Super Bowl in five years, Johnson essentially shouted to Jets fans, “Hey! Ignore that! Look over here!” by tweeting out a much-anticipated announcement: the Jets are getting new uniforms.

The new uniforms are set to be introduced in April and will feature a familiar design. The team’s “Legacy White” throwback set, which made its debut in last season’s opener, will become the new primary look. The Jets will introduce a green version as the home uniform and a black version as an alternate.
Legacy White is here to stay.
New green and black versions are on the way.

This announcement also means the Jets will likely be changing their primary logo back to the one they utilized from 1978 to 1997.
Here’s an idea of what the new uniform set could look like.

It’s a popular decision among Jets fans. The Legacy White uniforms were extremely well-received when they were announced in 2023. They lived up the hype, looking tremendous on the field in home prime-time games against the Bills and Chiefs. After seeing them on the field, the majority of the fanbase clamored for them to be the new primary uniforms.
It might not be a new offensive lineman or a new wide receiver, but the new garb is a nice little snack to hold Jets fans over.
Please stop with the black. EVERY team now uses a “black alternate” it’s too much, and why the Jets keep going to it is beyond me. I thought the did a much better job limiting the use last season, if they are using it for 1 or 2 games I can deal with it but to see it in some form every week is atrocious. And…there is NEVER a need for a black end zone.
