Endeavors that scrape the bottom of the NFL barrel are, alas, nothing new ever since the New York Jets introduced a new “Gotham Green” aesthetic in 2019.
USA Today’s For the Win website was the latest to pile on with its ranking of the NFL’s 32 helmet designs. The list topped by the timeless half-logo look of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets, on the other hand, ranked 29th, besting only Denver, New England, and Tennessee.
List curator Christian D’Andrea acknowledges the Jets’ good intentions with the team’s current helmet, a glossy emerald look that resembles their headwear from the 1980s.
