The iconic gotham green, spotlight white, and stealth black all remain in place, but the Jets have radically changed several other details. Most significantly, the logo has changed the font, excised a football, removed any reference to New York, and added a swoosh recalling the wing or tail of a plane. The Jets have also added a second stripe on the shoulder pads and a colored collar to all variants of their uniforms.

It's fitting that the Jets will sport a new look given all the change they've undergone since the end of the 2023 season. They splurged on a couple of high-risk, high-reward veteran free agents, acquiring longtime Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith and former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams. They also executed an aggressive and risky trade for Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher and two-time Pro Bowler Haason Reddick.

Ultimately, the fate of the team depends on how much they can get out of starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whom the Jets pried away from the Green Bay Packers last offseason. Rodgers is set to turn 41 this December, and an Achilles tear held him to a mere four snaps in 2023. The Jets stumbled to a 7-10 record without him, scoring a mere 15.8 points per game (29th in the league).

The Jets' Super Bowl window is vanishingly small; if they're going to truly become a contender in the AFC, Rodgers will need to play at the level that made him MVP in 2021. Whether he can do that (and for how long) will determine just how high the Jets can soar.
