The AFL Jets won the big one, the biggest one for AFL in its time. The Titans did jack shit. Just curious as to how everyone feels about it. Would you rather see the Titans uniforms (again) twice this year or would everyone prefer some different throwbacks that actually have team colors and Jets on them somewhere.
The Jets win a lot in those Titans uniforms. I think they are 4-2 or 5-1. They should wear them every time they need a big win.
not a big fan of the NY Titans uniforms. If anything, the Jets should go back to this for their throwbacks:
I like the '78 - '98 uniforms. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...m-NYJ.PNG/150px-AFC-Throwback-Uniform-NYJ.PNG
I think if they do throwbacks it should be the 80s Sack Exchange ones. The problem there is a lot of fans already still have them and won't buy new. Although, they do sell them at the games and those sales might increase if they wore them. As of now you can get a Gastineau or a Toon, etc in that style, but if they wore them now as throwbacks you could get current players in that style if you wanted. That would be cool.
I like the Titans unis just fine. If I had to pick I guess I'd rather see the 80's ones, but I don't really care that much. Buying a Titans jersey is just dumb though unless it's an authentic Maynard throwback. I did get a Pennington Titan's jersey, but only because it was on clearance and it's probably the only one I'll buy.
I guess my point was if these games our suppose to honor the original AFL Franchises legacy, I mean there is just no real legacy of new york titans, they were a losing team who was almost out of money, any throwback just at least have some kind of good history behind it. But I guess everyone's right it comes down to selling jerseys.
The common misconception today is that when Parcells changed the unis back in 1998, he was going back to the original 60's uniform. That's not quite right. The helmets are close and the sleeve patterns and numbering are nearly identical, but the color is much darker than the brighter, lighter green of Namath's Jets. IMO, they should alternate the throwback jersey based on the anniversary year. For example, last year, during the 40th anniversary season, they should've gone to the bright green unis of the 68 champs. I suppose they could wear them this year in honor of the forgotten AFL East Division Champion 1969 Jets. That team had a very good defense. Might be the chance to honor some of those players who've been stood in Joe's shadow. In 2010, the 50th anniversary of the franchise, they could resurrect the Titans throwbacks, this time doing a gold jersey with blue trim, or a white jersey with gold and blue trim. Or they could add a third color or change the uniform slightly to coincide with the opening of the new stadium (and celebration of our 2nd super bowl win!) Then in 2011, 2012, they wear unis that honor a truly golden era for this franchise, championship or not, the 30th anniversaries of the playoff teams of the Todd, McNeil, Walker, Sack Exchange era. And so on... In
I'm wearing my Lewis version of that right now....and the last 2 weeks :smile: I actually love the Old Titans jerseys......just don't know why the cop so much flak
I prefer keeping the team "green"....it's really no big deal....just a personal preference. Those Titan jerseys don't look right to me.
I wish the Jets would wear this jersey for a throwback, they totally abandon that uni, I know it holds a lot of bad memories, aka The Kotite Era, but it had a few good times as well, I'd rather it over the Titians all the time.
+1 I want to see these again. If they're going to bring back some throwback uniforms, they at least need to be green, god dammit.
Titans jerseys are uglyy. Jets FO if you do in fact read message boards, us fans get made fun of from other teams fans when we wear that disgusting mix of navy and mustard.
i like the titan uniforms a lot actually.. i understand that statistically the Jets performed better when they were the Jets compared to the Titans... but.. they do well in them and they look pretty decent.. so really thats all that matters...
it does surprise me they dont change the throwbacks every 2 years or so. then they could make more money.... i am sure they will figure that out sooner or later and we will get some different unis. i dont have a problem with the titans unis, they are MUCH better than many of the throwbacks out there. i wonder if there is any kind of rules to what they can and cant use, yeah i GUARANTEE the little napoleon commissioner has some kind of rules but i wonder what they are. i wonder if they wouldnt let us wear the 69 unis because they are so like the current ones. not many people would buy new jerseys because they are a different shade of green. at least not enough to make it worth while to the nfl. scumbags!!!
