Jets making fan favorite 'Sack Exchange' uniforms permanent and announce green and black versions coming soon

In addition to the "Sack Exchange" uniforms becoming permanent, the Jets will have green and black versions of the uniform. This is the latest change in uniforms for the Jets, who debuted a new set in 2019 and added a "Stealth Black" helmet as an alternate helmet in 2022. The alternate helmet is expected to remain.

Under the NFL uniform guidelines, a team is allowed to change its primary uniform design after five seasons. With the Jets last changing uniforms in 2019, they were permitted to change the primary uniforms if they wished (although the league had to receive advance notice).

The “Sack Exchange” uniforms are the ones the team had worn from 1978 to 1989. Mark Gastineau, Joe Klecko, Ken O'Brien and Al Toon wore the uniforms in the 1980s.

The Jets' new primary jerseys are highlighted by a "Sack Exchange" logo from the 1980s decal on its current helmet shell with a white face mask. Using the team's current "Gotham Green" colorway, the jersey features double-stripe shoulders and single-stripe pants, a similar design the team wore throughout the era.

The move comes as no surprise as most Jets fans expected the switch since they debuted the look in Week one. Moreover, the NFL Shop put most of the current Jets jerseys on clearance earlier this year in an attempt to move the inventory before the jerseys became obsolete.

The green and black versions of the uniforms will debut in April.
