April 15 (UPI) — A complete rebranding will be part of the New York Jets story for 2024, with a new logo and uniform, which was revealed on Monday.
Jets owner Woody Johnson announced earlier this season that the new uniforms were on the way. The new threads are a “nod to the ‘Sack Exchange’ era,” he said.
The team’s defensive line, consisting of Mark Gastineau, Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam, was nicknamed the “New York Sack Exchange” in the 1980s.
“We work for the fans,” Johnson said in a press release. “They have consistently asked us to return to our roots and we heard them.
“The new uniforms are specifically designed to look and feel like the New York Jets while updating the club’s iconic logo – seen by fans as our most recognizable brand.

The Jets revealed three combinations for the green, white and black threads. These versions include green jerseys with green pants, black jersey with black pants, white jersey with white pants, white jersey with green pants and green jersey with white pants.
The Jets’ new green primary school helmet features a jet flying out of the “J” in “JETS” on its side, similar to the helmets worn decades ago.
They wear a black helmet with the same logo when sporting the all-black uniform. All jerseys feature double striped sleeves and single striped pants, the same style worn from 1979 to 1989.
“Reinventing our kit, as well as developing a modern look for the club, reflects our commitment to progress, innovation and delivering excellence to our players and supporters. -continue,” Jets president Hymie Elhai said.
The Jets also launched their apparel line for fans, with jerseys, hats and more available at JetsShop.com.
