The team, along with the NFL and Nike, designed and produced the new uniforms as one of the key pieces of an overall re-branding initiative for the organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal was to create a modern and innovative look for the future of our franchise,\u201d said New York Jets Chairman and CEO Christopher Johnson. \u201cWe believe these uniforms will appeal to fans of all ages and is one that both fans and players would be extremely proud to wear. I am extremely excited to usher in the next generation of the New York Jets.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The uniforms consist of three new colors, including \u201cGotham Green,\u201d \u201cSpotlight White,\u201d and \u201cStealth Black\u201d. \u201cGotham Green\u201d is a brighter, more modern green developed exclusively for the Jets. \u201cSpotlight White\u201d is an evolution of the traditional white uniform. Inspired by the toughness, grit, and resilience of New York City, \u201cStealth Black\u201d is the Jets newest color, and will be added to the traditional green and white uniforms and can be worn three times per year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen this process first began as an idea, we never imagined that it would come to fruition how it has,\u201d said New York Jets President Neil Glat. \u201cThis was a process that underwent a variety of prototyping and design work to ensure a flawless finish, and we took great pride in ensuring that every detail &#8211; big or small &#8211; was correct and that our ownership\u2019s vision was implemented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The innovative new design is a forward-looking statement for the organization. \u201cNew York\u201d is proudly and boldly stitched across the chest of each uniform as a declaration of the region the team represents. Inspired by relentless speed, the \u201cJet Edge\u201d is a foundational design feature on all three uniforms. The new helmets feature a dynamic new shell design and includes an updated secondary logo.<\/p>\n<p>The team also revealed a refreshed primary logo, which takes the current logo and brings New York to the forefront. It features an updated shape, color, and connecting design of the football. The mark is designed to feel more modern and forward-facing compared to the previous one.<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by comedian and long-time Jets fan, J.B. Smoove, the event Thursday evening featured a special appearance by artist MAX who performed his signature song, \u201cStill New York\u201d while Jets players Jamal Adams, Robby Anderson, Sam Darnold, Quincy Enunwa, Chris Herndon, Leonard Williams and Avery Williamson modeled the uniforms for the 400+ crowd. Also in attendance were Jets current players and Legends, WWE Superstars, and a variety of other celebrities and influencers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the beginning of this project, it was clear to both the NFL and Nike creative teams that this uniform redesign needed to honor the team and its fans,\u201d said Chris Stackhouse, Art Director, National Football League. \u201cThat meant respecting the Jets rich tradition, while also taking an exciting leap forward with a bold, youthful, modern and fearless look which embodies&nbsp;the New York Jets. Above all, this was done for the Jets fans who bring their own unique New York attitude and intensity to football, and now have a uniform representative of that for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of the re-branding initiative, the Jets introduced the new tagline, Take Flight. The tagline, which will be used throughout the stadium and at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, is a call to action for players and fans to celebrate the future of New York Jets football. While paying homage to the franchise\u2019s rich history, this campaign is about looking forward to the future.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight\u2019s launch was only the beginning of the team\u2019s re-brand. With changes occurring over the next few months, there will be noticeable changes of the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center prior to the start of the 2019 preseason. There will also be modifications to fan facing elements at MetLife Stadium, including new end zones, wall wraps, large graphics and in-game entertainment designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After unveiling their new digs at an event in New York last night, it looks like the majority of Jets fans, they liked what they saw.
