The New York Jets are an American professional football team, founded in 1960, known for their iconic green and white uniforms. Despite their rich history, including a Super Bowl win in 1968, the Jets have often played in the shadow of their New York rivals, the Giants.

Meaning and History:

• Origin: Founded as the Titans of New York, the team quickly rebranded to the Jets in 1963. They achieved their first major success in 1968 when quarterback Joe Namath led them to their only AFL Championship and a Super Bowl win over the Baltimore Colts.
• Key Achievements: The Jets have had sporadic success, with 14 playoff appearances, the most recent in 2010. They enjoyed a resurgence in the late 1990s under coach Bill Parcells.
