The New York Jets have introduced updated helmet designs in recent seasons, notably as part of their uniform revisions and special throwback editions.
Key Helmet Updates
One of the most significant recent additions is the "Legacy White" helmet, introduced as part of their throwback uniform set.
- Color: The helmet shell is primarily white, a departure from their standard "Gotham Green" helmets.
- Logo: It features a throwback Jets logo, specifically the 1980s-era "JETS" wordmark with a stylized jet plane over the "JETS" text, positioned on the sides of the helmet.
- Facemask: The facemask accompanying this helmet is typically green.
- Stripe: A single green stripe often runs down the center of the helmet.
This "Legacy White" helmet aims to pay homage to a popular era in the team's history and has been worn for select games, often designated as "Legacy Games." It offers a distinct visual contrast to their primary helmet and has been generally well-received by the fanbase for its classic aesthetic.
Beyond the throwback, the Jets' primary helmet remains their "Gotham Green" shell, which was part of a major uniform overhaul in 2019. This helmet features a modernized Jets logo and a bolder green shade compared to previous iterations.
