| Jets uniforms revealed in April 2024 |
There is not much to say about the New York Jets uniforms revealed today because we've seen them before. They debuted in 1978, taking over for the classic Jets look, and continued to wear them through 1997.
Although there were changes made in 1991 it was the basic look for 20 years and they brought it back recently as a throwback.
The Jets are yet another team to revert to a classic look as soon as the NFL uniform rules allow and that is the takeaway -- it's another Nike design fail.
These new uniforms are good, as they always were. And they are good now. There are some differences from the 1978-90 versions but it's the same look.
But they are better than the recent Nike-design worn from 2019-2023 ---

In fairness, the 2919 Jets uniforms were not awful, we graded them a "C" at the time but they were probably as good as Nike ever did. And given the resources at their disposal they needed to do better.
This time they go with a design that they have very little input - a tweak of the font and logo perhaps. The color is not exactly the same but those are minor details.
So, Jets uniforms go from a C to a B/B+ or so.
Everything old is new again ... basically, the same uniform revealed to day was revealed in 1978.

It is nice that the Jets now once again have an image of a jet, however subtle or small, on their uniform.
