Here are some of the most notable tweets regarding their outfit.

The New York Jets are currently 3-3 this season. The team suffered the biggest setback in the first game of the season when quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with a ruptured ACL. However, he has made incredible progress since surgery and was seen practicing his throws before the commencement of the game. This has led to increasing optimism surrounding his return to the field this very season.
