The New York Jets are adding a new chapter to their storied history with the unveiling of their “Gotham City Football” Rivalries uniform. Revealed Thursday morning, the look will make its on-field debut when the Jets host the Miami Dolphins on December 7 at MetLife Stadium.
As part of the NFL and Nike’s newly launched Rivalries program, the Jets are one of the first teams to showcase an alternate uniform designed to capture the spirit of their city and their fiercest matchups. Inspired by the grit and identity of New York, the “Gotham City Football” design pays homage to the toughness and work ethic that define the region.
“It quickly became evident that Gotham City Football was an obvious direction for us to take with the Rivalry uniform,” said Chris Pierce, vice president of fan commerce for the Jets. “Our green is filtered to reflect the hazy, steamy, smoky city streets, and we added Black, Light Iron Ore, and Dark Stucco to mirror the streetscape of New York. The nod to the iconic NYC manhole pattern on the shoulders and behind the plane logo is uniquely our own and powerful imagery for what it means to be a New York Jet. Adding our fifth uniform and third helmet in 16 months is something we’re extremely proud of. We want our uniforms to resonate with players and fans and showcase a deep emotional connection to this franchise.”
Nike and the NFL announced the Rivalries program during draft weekend, describing it as a four-year rollout designed to elevate some of the league’s most iconic rivalries. “The unveiling of the first eight Rivalries club uniforms and fan gear marks a significant moment for the NFL, Nike and Fanatics,” said Taryn Hutt, vice president of club marketing at the NFL. “Rivalries will bring fresh energy to the field with each new uniform, while amplifying the community and hometown pride that is rooted in each NFL fan.”
The Rivalries program will continue to expand in the coming years. In 2026, teams from the AFC South and NFC North will join the mix, followed by NFC East and AFC West in 2027, and finally the AFC North and NFC South in 2028. The Jets, meanwhile, will remain in the program through the 2028 season, giving fans plenty of opportunities to see how “Gotham City Football” evolves into a central part of the team’s identity.
