The New York Jets logo features a stylized, italicized "JETS" wordmark in white, set inside a horizontal green oval outlined in white and shaped like an American football. A streamlined jet-plane motif extends from the upper end of the letter "J" and stretches above the remaining letters, creating a sense of speed and forward motion. The aircraft imagery reflects the team's name and its historical connection to the Jet Age. The franchise was renamed from the New York Titans to the Jets in 1963, when its home at Shea Stadium was situated between LaGuardia Airport and what was then known as Idlewild Airport, later renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport. The name was also chosen partly because it rhymed with the New York Mets, the city's baseball team. The extended jet motif was designed by Jim Pons in the late 1970s and revived in a modernized form in 2024, bringing back a recognizable design from the franchise's history. The football-shaped oval reinforces the team's connection to American football, while the green-and-white palette reflects the club's established colors. Together, the italicized wordmark, streamlined aircraft, football-shaped outline, and traditional colors express the New York Jets' sporting identity, aviation-inspired name, and enduring visual heritage.
