According to multiple sources, the New York Jets will unveil their new green home and black alternate uniforms on April 15 after making their “Legacy” throwback uniforms their permanent road look this offseason.
The road uniforms, which the Jets originally wore from 1978-89, include a white jersey with two green stripes on the sleeves, a green collar and green numbers, as well as white pants with a single green stripe down the sides and solid green socks.
They were paired with New York’s standard Gotham green helmets by swapping the black facemasks and current logo for a white facemask and a retro “JETS” wordmark, which is italicized and features a jet extending from the “J.”
The sources also indicated the retro logo will once again become New York’s primary logo, just as it was from 1978-97. That change was leaked after New Era unveiled the hats for the 2024 NFL Draft last month.
The Jets wore the road version – which pays homage to the “New York Sack Exchange,” one of the most disruptive lines in NFL history – twice last season, including a win over the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 11 and a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 1.
While the green home uniform is pretty straightforward, the design of the black alternate remains unclear at this time. It will likely be paired with a black helmet and pants, just as the Jets’ current black jerseys have been for the last two years.
That said, the month of April is quite busy on the NFL uniform front, as the Jets are joined by the Cleveland Browns (April 17), Detroit Lions (April 18), Denver Broncos (April 22) and Houston Texans (April 23) in unveiling a new logo and/or uniforms.
