The New York Jets are a professional American football team based in East Rutherford, New Jersey, representing the New York metropolitan area. They are members of the Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). In a unique arrangement, the Jets share New Meadowlands Stadium (located in East Rutherford, New Jersey) with the New York Giants.[1] The team's training facility and corporate headquarters, which opened in 2008, are located in Florham Park, New Jersey.[2] In addition, the team holds training camp on the campus of the State University of New York at Cortland (SUNY Cortland), in Cortland, New York.[3] The team previously headquartered and trained at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, on Long Island for a span of forty years.[2]

The Jets hold the distinction of being the first AFL team to defeat an NFL club in an AFL-NFL World Championship Game when they defeated the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III.[4]

Franchise history

On August 14, 1959, the first organizational meeting of the American Football League would take place.[5] Harry Wismer, who was the representative of New York, was granted a charter franchise that would later be named Titans of New York.[6] The Titans would play at the Polo Grounds during their first three years of existance and struggled financially before a five man syndicate headed by Sonny Werblin saved the team from certain bankruptcy.[7][8] Renamed the Jets, the new owners would bring in Weeb Ewbank as the general manager and head coach.[7] Ewbank and 1965 draftee Joe Namath led the Jets to prominence in 1968 when New York defeated the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III[9] and solidified the AFL's position in the world of professional football.[10][11]

When the AFL and NFL merged in 1970, the team fell into a state of mediocrity along with their star quarterback Joe Namath who only had three successful post-merger seasons after injuries hampered much of his career. The Jets would continue to spiral downward before enjoying a string of success' in the 1980's which, included an appearance in the 1982 AFC Championship game. The early 1990's would see the Jets struggling. After firing coach Bruce Coslet, owner Leon Hess would hire Rich Kotite who sent the team into a complete tailspin leading the team to the NFL's worst record for two straight years.

Ultimately, this would lead to the hiring of former Patriots head coach Bill Parcells in 1997 who led the team back to relevance and would coach the Jets back to the AFC Championship in 1998.[12][13] In 1999, owner Leon Hess passed away while the team, led by Parcells, was plagued by injuries that produced a four win record. Parcells later departed and named Bill Belichick his successor who ultimately abandoned the team in favor of the New England Patriots. In spite of this period of instability, the franchise would obtain a new owner in Woody Johnson. Additionally, though the 2000's the Jets would visit the playoffs five times under the direction of three different coaches. The Jets' current head coach, Rex Ryan, was hired in January of 2009 and a new home field, New Meadowlands Stadium, opened in April of 2010.

Rivalries

Division Rivals

The Jets have maintained a rivalry with the New England Patriots since the 1960s and is considered one of the marquee rivalries of the league.[14] The rivalry has escalated since 1996, when New England head coach Bill Parcells left to join the Jets. Following Parcells departure in 2000, his then assistant Bill Belichick infamously resigned the same day he was chosen to take the head coaching position only to take the job with the Patriots instead.[15][16][17] Perhaps the biggest turning point in the rivalry took place in 2001 when Jets linebacker Mo Lewis delievered a hit on Drew Bledsoe that left the quarterback injured. This would provide an opening for Tom Brady to fill and since then he has been very successful leading New England to three Super Bowl titles.[18] In 2006, Eric Mangini, an assistant under Belichick, left New England to join the Jets as their head coach. Under Mangini, the infamous Spygate incident took place,[19] further escalating tensions between both clubs.

The Jets have also maintained a rivalry with the Miami Dolphins since the early 1960s. One of the most infamous games in Jets history came in 1994 when the infamous Fake Spike play occurred that would give the Dolphins an improbable victory and seriously damage the Jets momentum that season.[20] This would also serve as a precursor to the Jets next two infamous years under Rich Kotite. More recently there has been increased tension between both clubs. Jets head coach Rex Ryan flashed an obscene gesture to heckling Dolphins fans in January 2010 during a Strikeforce event.[21]

Historical Rivals

The New York Jets previously maintained a high tension rivalry against their historically more successful in-town counterparts, the New York Giants that has since ceased in intensity as the years have passed.[22] The pinnacle of the rivalry came on August 17, 1969 when both the Jets and Giants met for the first time, in a preseason game which was viewed as a "turf war" by both opponents.[22] The Giants, considered a mediocre team at the time, were regarded as underdogs and were under much scrutiny by the media and their fans.[22] Ultimately, the Jets would beat their rival 37–14 that would result in the firing of Giants coach Allie Sherman.[22] Since then, both team's have formed an unexpected and consequently strong partnership and essentially, without the support of each other, wouldn't be in the position they are both in today.[22]

The Jets had previously maintained a very heated, "no holds barred" rivalry with the Oakland Raiders.[23] For years, Al Davis had an enlarged photo of Joe Namath at Oakland's headquarters that depicted the quarterback sprawled out on the ground following a vicious hit from the Raiders defense; needless to say the personal rivalry between Davis and Weeb Ewbank carried over into games between both opponents.[23] Former Jets linebacker Larry Grantham recalled that the Raiders defense often took every opportunity to cheap shot Namath.[23] The rivalry would escalate when Ike Lassiter broke Namath's jaw in 1967.[23][24] In 1968, the Jets suffered a stunning loss against the Raiders during the Heidi Game however they would redeem themselves by claiming victory over Oakland in the AFL Championship to advance to Super Bowl III where the Jets would win the Lombardi Trophy much to the ire of Raider fans.[24] Following the merger, the rivalry waned in intensity as meetings between both teams were less frequent.[25] There was a brief period between 2000 and 2002 when the rivalry was revived due to playoff meetings that saw the Raiders knock the Jets from playoff contention.[26][27] Since the Raiders skid into obscurity, the rivalry's intensity has ceased.

The Jets, who began as the Titans of New York, originally wore dark blue jerseys with gold stripes and lettering on the jersey combined with gold pants. The team's helmet was also dark blue with a gold stripe running down the middle of the helmet.[28] The logo depicted a charging football player wearing the Titans uniform (though the logo depicted a gold helmet rather than the traditional blue helmet).[29] The Titans would wear this uniform combination from their inception in 1960 until 1962 when the team was renamed the Jets.

In 1963, the uniform design was changed to a white helmet with a green stripe down the middle, white pants, and either green or white jerseys.[30][31] The green jerseys had white stripes on the shoulders and white sleeves.[30] The white jerseys had green stripes on the shoulders and green sleeves.[31] The team's logo in 1963 consisted of a green airplane with the word "JETS" written on its side superimposed on a white helmet with a gray facemask.[30][31] The Jets have often been nicknamed "Gang Green" throughout their history due to their uniform design and a possible play on words as well.

The logo would be changed twice over the course of the next three years. In 1964, the logo was changed to an egg-shaped circle with the letters "NY" superimposed, and superimposed over that both the word "JETS" and a football in green.[32] In 1966, the shape of the logo became more oval and would resemble a football additionally, the colors of the logo would be inverted so that the oval itself was green while the word "JETS" and the football became white.[33]

In 1978, the Jets changed both their logo and uniform design.[34] The new logo consisted of the word "JETS" with a futuristic jet above it.[35] The new uniform design consisted of kelly green helmets, white pants, and either kelly green or white jerseys.[35] The uniform was modified in 1990, when the team added a black outline, green pants to the road uniforms and a black face mask.[36][37][38] A subtle change took place in 1996 when the green helmet and road jerseys became a metallic kelly green instead of flat kelly green.[39]

In 1998, Bill Parcells, the head coach at the time, made the decision to create a new uniform and logo.[40] The previous logo simply read "JETS" with a green Jet wing connected with the "J."[40] Alumni of the Super Bowl team felt the design change tampered with history.[40] Parcells, who sought to form an identity for the team, changed the logo reverting to the 1967 logo, or rather, a modified version of the logo, since the oval was now more rounded at the ends and no longer resembled a football.[40][41] For both the logo and uniforms, the kelly green of old had been abandoned in favor of a darker shade, essentially forest green.[42] In addition, the facemask color became green.[42]

In 2002, the team introduced an updated away uniform that consisted of white pants and a white jersey.[43] Additionally, the team would also introduce an alternative away uniform completely green with white sleeves.[44] In 2003, the team would once again introduce an alternative away jersey which featured a white jersey with green pants.[45]

On October 14, 2007, the New York Jets celebrated their heritage with a special "Titans Throwback Day."[46] The Jets wore the navy and gold uniforms, in honor of the Titans of New York (their previous incarnation) during their home game against the Philadelphia Eagles.[47] They also honored the four original Titans, Don Maynard, Bill Mathis, Larry Grantham and Curley Johnson, who played as Jets in Super Bowl III.[47] New York would wear the throwback uniforms once more in December when the team played the Miami Dolphins at Dolphins Stadium.[47] The Jets went 1–1 in their throwbacks, dropping a 16-9 decision to the Eagles on October 14, 2007 only to defeat the Dolphins, 40-13, on December 2, 2007.[47]

The throwback uniforms would make another appearance in 2008. Originally scheduled for the home opener against the Patriots, the throwback days were changed to the second and third home games, against the Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals, respectively.[48] Victories over the Cardinals (56-35) and Bengals (26–14) improved the Jets to 3–1 in Titan throwbacks. On October 26, 2008, the Jets would honor the 1968 championship team having the players wear a commemorative 40th anniversary Super Bowl III patch on their left chest.[48] The team would also hold a halftime ceremony to honor many of the championship alumni.[48]

In 2009, the Jets would introduce a modified version of the Titan's throwbacks, a white jersey with gold pants.[49] The Jets would wear the white Titans uniforms against the Oakland Raiders on October 25, 2009 and then once again against the Dolphins on November 1, 2009.[49] In addition the Jets would wear their blue Titans uniforms once against the Tennessee Titans, who would also wear their Oilers uniforms, on September 27, 2009.[49] The Jets would also don their 50th anniversary patch for the entire season while wearing a commemorative AFL patch during the three weekends the team wore their Titans throwbacks.[49] According to the team's official Twitter account, the Jets will not be wearing the Titans throwbacks in 2010.[50]

Cheerleading Squad

Jets Flight Crew

A flag crew was officially established in 2006 under the name of the Jets Flag Crew.[51] In 2007, the Jets officially created a cheerleading squad named the Jets Flight Crew.[52] In 2008, the Jets would partner with Marc Ecko, founder of Eckō, to design the Flight Crew uniforms.[53] Since the Flight Crew's inception in 2007, auditions have been held annually in order to attain more members.[54][55][56]

Jets Junior Flight Crew

A first ever Jets Junior Flight Crew will be held for the 2010 season. The Junior Flight Crew is a program that offers children the opportunity to train with the Flight Crew while improving their "talent and abilities in a non-competitive environment."[57]

Radio and Television

The Jets' flagship radio station is WEPN, 1050 ESPN,[65] with "The Voice of the Jets,"[66] Bob Wischusen as the play-by-play announcer and former Jet Marty Lyons as the color analyst.[67] Wischusen, who joined WABC in 1997,[68] took over the play-by-play role in 2002[69] after Howard David left the organization earlier in the year.[70][71] Lyons would join Wischusen the same year[69] after the team began a re-evaluation of the broadcasting booth that would result in the surprising firing of Dave Jennings, "a smart and credible analyst," after fourteen years in the booth.[70][71]

WABC, which served three separate stints as the Jets' radio flagship, simulcasted WEPN's coverage over its airwaves from 2002 until 2008.[72] Jets radio broadcasts have also been carried over WCBS, which also served two stints as the Jets' flagship and last carried games over the air in 1992,[73] and WFAN, which aired games from 1993 through 1999.[74]

Any preseason games not nationally televised are shown on WCBS-TV.[75] Ian Eagle, who was previously the radio voice of the Jets, calls the action on those telecasts.[75] SportsNet New York, which serves as the home of the Jets, airs over 250 hours of "exclusive, in depth" material on the team in high definition.[76]

Notable past play-by-play announcers for the Titans/Jets include the legends Howard Cosell, Bob Murphy, Merle Harmon, Marty Glickman and Howard David, who has called the Super Bowl and the NBA Finals for Westwood One and ESPN Radio.
