Is there a new Jets jersey in 2026?

The confirmed 2026 addition covered here is the White Out helmet, paired with the primary white uniform. The Jets announced September 20 against Green Bay for that combination. Their game-initiatives release also lists Classic for October 25 against Miami and Gotham City Football Rivalries for December 27 against New England. A fan promotion such as Stripe Out does not, by itself, confirm the jersey-and-pants combination.

The main uniforms are the Legacy Collection of 2024, based on the 1978–89 design. The team carried over the 2019 "Gotham Green" shade, renamed it "Legacy Green" and uses metallic helmet shells.

Black and classic Jets jerseys

Black first appeared as a Jets alternate in 2019 with the "Take Flight" redesign, and a matte-black alternate helmet was added in 2022. The "Classic" alternate was introduced separately in July 2024. It honors the 1968 championship uniform and the familiar 1998–2018 design, with white jersey and pants and a gray facemask. It is different from the 1978–89-inspired Legacy identity.

Rivalries uniforms are worn once a season and stay in rotation for three seasons, against a different division rival each year.
