    Does anyone know the story why the Jets are wearing the all white uniforms for the home games? I like 'em but I'm just wondering if they are doing what Joe Walton did in the eighties by changing the home uniform to white.

    They're wearing white after Labor Day because they've got a bad-guy image to uphold.

    I'm pretty sure it has to do with the heat, as the darker uni's attract the sun more.
    Although they did wear e on Monday night so who knows?

    My favorite is Green Jersey and white pants.

    All white is ok.

    Green Pants suck.

    a majority of teams wear white at home in september because it is cooler... they want the road team to be in dark colors so they get hotter... teams look for every little advantage they can find.

    I'd guess it has to do with the heat. I believe the home team gets to pick which jerseys they wear, part of the whole home field advantage deal.

    I like the whites though, wish we'd switch to white cleats and complete the look.

    The Jets always wear white in their home opener, they've been doing that for several years. Maybe they felt the need to extend it a week.

    That was my theory at the last game too, we were sitting their discussing it and many moronic fans at stupid ass ideas.

    The guy to the right said they are waiting to unveil the black uniforms. He's either colorblind or a flat-out racist.

    through Week 2 of the 2010 season in home games-

    The Jets are 187-187-5 all-time in the regular season.

    They are 30-25-1 when wearing white jerseys.

    They are 157-162-4 when wearing blue or green jerseys. This mark includes when they wore blue Titans jerseys in recent years and it also includes the actual Titans seasons.
