The New York Jets on Sunday, showcased some retro NFL jerseys against the Arizona Cardinals. Based on the results of the game, the Jets may want to consider playing in the old school Titans jersey (blue/yellow) more often. The jerseys looked totally awkward on the typically “green” Jets players, but the performance of Brett Favre (career high 6 TD’s) and the Jets defense make a strong argument to keep on playing in the New York Titans jerseys.
The team has made the special New York Titans jersey available in most players’ names/numbers.
Check out a sampling of the retro jerseys below. Most qualify for FREE SHIPPING & these are the best prices you’re going to find.

Brett Favre was listed as questionable Friday for the New York Jets’ game against Arizona with a sore left ankle, but is expected to start against the Cardinals.
The ageless wonder that is Brett Favre continues to amaze as the quarterback of the New York Jets. While the team hasn’t performed up to what expectations were - especially after the 1st game, Favre has looked like… Favre. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes erratic.
This week, the Jets will lineup against the Arizona Cardinals, who are also fighting for an identity and looking to prove pundits wrong. The Cardinals are continuously looked at as the NFL’s annual loser - they haven’t won anything in their entire existence. With a hobbled Favre and good mixture of offense and defense Sunday, the Cardinals could start the season 3-1 and put the Jets in a 1-3 hole; neither of these were expected by the respective team’s fans or the analysts.
The Jets will have to run the ball effectively with Thomas Jones, but also get good decisions and solid plays out of Brett Favre. The AZ defense will make the QB pay if he is not careful with the football.
Game prediction:
AZ 24, NYJ 20
Brett Favre has been rumored to be going to either Tampa Bay or NY for a couple of weeks now, but it’s official - Favre is now a member of the New York Jets.
With Favre’s arrival in NY, the Jets wasted no time in releasing Chad Pennington, who has struggled with injuries his whole career. With Brett Favre’s $12 million contract entering the books, New York could no longer afford Pennington’s contract.
Brett Favre Joins New York Jets - 8/7/08
Favre will step in almost immediately, although he did miss tonight’s game (obviously). The Jets have several capable wide receivers, a good running back and a solid defense, so the trade for Favre looks like an improvement for the Jets’ faithful. That said, this is an entirely different offense than Brett Favre has played for the last umpteen years, so he has to learn a new playbook in a very, VERY media critical New York market.
The Packers get rid of the issue and get to move on w/ QB Aaron Rodgers for their future, so it looks like a positive on all ends. Green Bay fans, however, sure wish Brett was still playing for the Packers.
Fantasy-wise, I think Favre is going to take a hit. He doesn’t know the offense, so he’s going to be throwing a little bit shorter for awhile until he learns it. His lack of understanding will no doubt lead to an increased number of interceptions also, which is not something the Jets can afford to do - they will have a hard enough time winning games when he plays well.
