Just a few days before draft day in Detroit, the New York Jets have revealed their new jerseys and logo. As Aaron Rodgers and the players walked into the team facility for their first day of voluntary workouts, the club’s social media team got to work on the release of their newly designed uniforms. This highly anticipated drop, however, did not quite meet the expectations of many fans. They are basically claiming that there’s no difference between the old jerseys and the new ones.

Most fans, or social media users on X, did not see any difference between the old and the new ones.

But was that the popular sentiment? Well, that’s debatable. More than a few supporters explained why the Jets went in the direction they did; however, it was still not enough for the wider social media audience of X to accept the subtle changes or appreciate the massive reveal. While critics and fans voice their two cents, it’s worth mentioning that even other teams, like Detroit, are planning to unveil their new designs.
