In response to this, Florham Park, New Jersey is part of the New York metropolitan area. The team is headquartered in Florham Park, but it does not actually play any games there, and it doesn't seem likely that they ever will. Obviously, they play in East Rutherford, which is also part of the New York metropolitan area. This is why the team is the New York Jets - Clearly, more readers are going to be familiar with the New York metro area than with Florham Park specifically, and it should go without saying that more of their fan base lives outside Florham Park than in it. In an attempt to compromise I included mention of both Florham Park and New York metropolitan area in the opening sentence; while I don't think Florham Park is necessary (it's mentioned later in the same paragraph), the link to the New York metro area should not be removed again.-- Cúchullain t/ c 14:00, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
edit semi-protected Factual error: At footnote number 11 the article states "In 1999, Hess passed away while the team, plagued by injuries, produced a four win record.[11]" In fact, they had 8 wins and placed 4th in their division. The citation provided in the article is accurate but the text regarding their record is incorrect. 71.183.82.71 ( talk) 17:53, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
edit semi-protected In the "Franchise History" section of the article it states, "The early 1990s saw New York struggling. After firing coach Bruce Coslet, owner Leon Hess hired Rich Kotite who led the team to the NFL's worst record for two straight years." The passage implies that Rich Kotite followed Bruce Coslet as head coach when in fact Pete Carroll served as head coach for one season following Coslet's firing. They hired Rich Kotite thereafter. 71.183.82.71 ( talk) 17:07, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
edit semi-protected Factual error. The article states, "After firing coach Bruce Coslet, owner Leon Hess hired Pete Carroll who struggled to a 5–9 record and was promptly fired at the end of the season". Correction: The Jets had a 6-10 record during the season Pete Carroll was head coach. not 5-9. http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/history/1994.html http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/CarrPe0.htm 71.183.82.71 ( talk) 16:22, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I have a problem with the table in the statistics section of this article. For the most recent 2010 season it lists the Jets as second under the regular season column. The only stats in this column are win and losses, which puts them 4th in the AFC. This might be referring to the fact that they made it to the AFC championship, but it is still listed under regular season and that would still be second in only the AFC. It could be made more clear, and I'm unsure the '2nd' standing is credible.

Can someone make the green on the page to 182830, this is regarded as the official color of the team
I sincerely believe that the city/state locations need to be represented in the infobox of the New York Jets article, as seen in this revision. This is similar to how the stadium history of the New York Giants article is organized. Please consider changing it back to the revision I have provided. Thank you.

The Jets no longer train at SUNY Cortland. They train elsewhere, and this has been so for a couple of years. I do not know where their current official training camp is so I cannot suggest how to correct it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.111.13.178 ( talk) 23:06, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
On March 4, 2019, the New York Jets unveiled a new logo, new colors, and new uniforms. SportsFan007 ( talk) 00:31, 5 April 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007
The graphic showing the "Current Uniform" is incorrect; it shows that the bottom half of the jerseys are gray, which they are not. GrafZeppelin127 ( talk) 18:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
Can someone update the wordmark image? If I find the file myself, I'll upload it. But if not, thank you in advance. SportsFan007 ( talk) 16:05, 5 April 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007
I just glanced at this article for the first time ever because of yesterday's SNL skit. It's in bad shape.
I just fixed this really bad edit by User:The Writer 2.0 on 7 April 2011. This was a really bad edit because (1) the correct word is "corporate," not "corporately," and (2) "corporate" is normally used to refer to corporations, while the entity at issue is clearly a limited liability company. That's not rocket science; I figured out those things, respectively, around ages 16 and 24. Considering how there are so many smart people in New York City, it's amazing that bad edit was in the article for over nine years.
This is but one symptom of a larger problem, which is that the article needs top-to-bottom revisions and appears to be vandalized fairly regularly. Unfortunately, neither is likely to change any time soon, as the Jets' abysmal performance implies they are probably unable to sustain the critical mass of fans who would be able to write a really good article. At the very least, the article should be placed under permanent semi-protection so that only auto-confirmed users can edit it. -- Coolcaesar ( talk) 22:33, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

I have copied and pasted content from History of the New York Jets for the history section, as part of my project to conform all 32 NFL teams history pages.
I have been working on this the last few weeks and am trying to coordinate with other contributors to keep this as the standard for NFL team article history sections.
