Except people didn’t want that and the owners settled with Jets, similar colours but new logo and jerseys. Then they dragged their heels forever on bringing back retros.

Of course another big part of it was money. They needed to wait long enough for fans to cave and buy the new logo version. Now that that version is tapped they can start introducing a third. It’s just mind boggling that it isn’t another retro. Maybe saving it for another heritage classic or something.

Agreed 100%.
