Jets To Send Titans Uniforms Into Temporary Retirement?

by David_Wyatt on Jul 2, 2010 4:43 PM EDT

With not much Jets news rolling in right now being in the dark days of the football calendar. I Noticed a tweet from the official Jets twitter page regarding the Titans uniform. In reply to a question posed by Joe a buddy of mine about whether we would be seeing the Titans uniforms for the 4th consecutive season this year, the New York Jets twitter people replied with:

As of now, there are no plans to wear them this season.

Now usually this is a non issue, and it still may be for some people. However I do remember a lot of people on GGN having a problem with the New York Jets wearing the New York Titans uniforms last year, so just wanted to get this message out there.

I personally never really had a problem with the Titans uniforms every now and again but didn't like to see us wear them more than once a year. So while this is not a definitive answer, and it is possible it could change. It seems that the Jets are putting the Titans uniforms back where they belong, at the back of the closet.

What are your thoughts on this?

Couldn’t care less if they were the Titans or anyone else, easily one of the ugliest throw back uniforms or at least bottom 3 after Denver and Philly. Plus they weren’t even the Jets colors which meant if you weren’t paying 100% attention to the game you might screw up who was who.

I don’t think it’s possible to get any uglier than Denver’s.

I think I just heartily disliked all the throwbacks the last few years. If two teams were in throwbacks you couldn’t normally tell who was who. If I remember right only the Steelers uni still used the same colors and maybe the Browns.

Really? Those socks were awesome! Especially the way Marshall wore them (and got fined).

Throwback Uniforms

Is there any possibility we could bring back the Uniforms from the 80’s through most of the 90’s for one game, you know the one. All green with white lettering on the helmet that has a tail-fin of a plane on the J. I just want to see them sparingly, no more than once a season.

This one?

The 1990-1997 one?

or the earlier ones, from 78 to 89?

I would be happy with either one, but if I had to choose, 90-97 with the darker outlilnes.

I always thought the earlier ones were lighter than those right there.

THANK GOD

They were just a marketing machine to sell more jerseys. I want to watch the Jets, not the off-colored Steelers.

The only team that should be wearing throwbacks are the Chargers and the Bills.

Personally I couldn’t care less what they wear as long as they beat the team they’re playing against. That’s really all that should matter.

by revis_island on Jul 2, 2010 6:41 PM EDT reply actions

i personally think those uniforms are super ugly

one game in a season was really enough for them

sheesh…it felt like they were playing in those uni’s half the season.

I love the TITANS jerseys, I own 3 of them. Dont get me wrong, I love the Green & White, but I always hated how we didnt have another option like other teams. I may not like the entire uniform, but as for the jerseys, especially the home whites, awesome..I know everyone has their own taste, but its amazing how most people really abhor these jerseys, I love em’.

Bingo!

we don't need these throwbacks

Make throwbacks of the late 60’s Jets, and I’m game.

ThrowFoward Jerseys?

I would like to see some new Jersey designs and styles instead of recycling old irrelevant ones. Rex and a few other coaches all seem to dig the black look. I would love to see Black Jerseys(white names and numbers) with greet accents.With Black pants and that white Helment. They would definitely look as intimidating as they are good.

I found a replica with this scheme and I think it rocks…

The NETS are coming!

NO!

Stick to team colors please!

I saw them

I saw them when I google images Jets black jersey. I admit they look impressive…but I rather they be used as an alternate home jersey and not a primary jersey. Also I don’t want to look too college-y (not real word).

Once a year, no more, no less

by Judgegavel on Jul 3, 2010 9:32 AM EDT reply actions

We wore them so often last year

because it was the 50th anniversary of the AFL. ‘51’ isn’t a very sexy number, so that’s probably why we’re not going to wear them this year.

...you're a jet all the way.

by OnceYoureAJet on Jul 3, 2010 10:07 AM EDT reply actions

The 50th anniversary warranted the throwbacks, but I think we’ve probably worn the jersey for more games as throwbacks than the Titans did as their every-game jersey. Its a nice thing to do every 5 or 10 years, but not every other game and not every year. The team is the Jets, there is another team called the Titans and the new Titans used to be the Oilers and the whole thing is overplayed to sell more jerseys. I own 4 or 5 Jets jerseys, none of them Titans, and I wont buy one in any case.

It was confusing

They tried to make a big deal about it when we faced the Titans. “Titan vs Oilers…dont adjust your set…” definetly a ploy to sell more jerseys. It did however felt like we played better when we donned the gold and black. Lol even in madden when I select these jerseys I seem to have a better game….lol

No face masks, too!

While they’re going retro, they should also get rid of the face masks, too.

Been there, done that

I followed the Jets when they were the Titans, and I’m glad I did. The 60’s are over, and so are the AFL and the Titans. That was a long ago era when Al Davis was relevant.

It’s a part of their history and nothing more. I believe the site is called Gang GREEN nation for a reason.
