Jets act like idiots, sell gear on their Pro Shop site proclaiming them AFC Champions

PrintThis is not good news for Jets fans who believe in Karma.
If you visit the New York Jets official pro shop, you will see that from prices ranging from $3 to $52 dollars a person can purchase hats, hoodies, and key rings all proclaiming the Jets the AFC Champions.
As you may recall, the New England Patriots tried something similar to this prior to Super Bowl 42 with books "commemorating" their 19-0 season days before the Super Bowl was played against the NY Giants.
We know how that turned out for the Pats.
There is confidence. There is cockiness. And then, there is complete and utter batsh*t stupidity. Doing something like this falls into the "utter batsh*t stupid" category. Other than the fact that this is the AFCCG and the winner goes to the Super Bowl, if the Colts needed any extra motivation to beat the ever-loving crap out of the disrespectful Jets this Sunday, they can thank the idiots who posted this stuff on the Jets Pro Shop.
I guess the silver-lining out of all of this is that kids in Nicaragua will be able to get some free Jets apparel this year.

[UPDATE]: Before someone else says "Everyone does this," the response is no, they don't. Go to the Colts Pro Shop and on the front page you do not see the kind of stupidity they have up at the Jets Pro Shop site.

While the Jets Pro Shop decision is curious at best, of greater interest to the

The colts have done this before I know that, I forget which year but I think they lost in the ACCG and had to give back all the material and what not. I don’t think this will give the Colts added motivation. It’s for the superbowl their should be no other motivation then that.

Bite my rosy-red NJ-born ass ;-D
Actually, here’s how it works—it all stems from driving.
NJites can drive on highways but NOT in the city—they go to NYC and are helpless. Driving is a contact sport in NYC and NYers know how to do it.
NYers, however, light out on the highways and drive 50 in the left lane, don’t use turn signals, don’t look before changing lanes, etc. Total nightmare and they are blissfully clueless about road etiquette. NJites hate NYers on the road, and vice versa.
NYers hate the bridge and tunnel crowd acting like tourists in their city, making restaurants impassible on weekends, and NJites hate urbanites sullying their nice suburbs. “Hey, I lived here all my life and now there’s three duplexes where my gandma lived, all filled with noisy NY exiles! My kids can’t play in the street because there’s 20 cars parked there…” (that’s a snapshot into my old home town—2 duplexes on the site where my house was, 2 next door where my grandparents lived, both filled with noisy ex-urbanites, but I digress).
They’re ALL loud and pushy, and if you don’t like it, well up yours! Maybe a little quieter in NJ.
But if you take the driving thing out of the equation, I bet they would all get along pretty well, and outsiders would have an improved impression of them (at their own risk, of course).
Besides, everyone knows it’s the Long Islanders who are the real d-bags—combining the worst of both worlds!
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
I hear ya on the Long Islanders
as for Jersey, the bad rep comes from North Jersey. South Jersey is practically Pennsylvania.
Maybe its just me but I like to pass people on the sidewalk, nod hello and not get stabbed. Then again living outside of Newark is probably the issue there.

Booker is fixing it but I still wouldn’t wanna walk around alone at night. Not concerned a bit in Indy about that.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
Not concerned?
One night last season (2008 season) I parked in the GM lot (cause it was free, and a friend who works there told me I could) across the river, and walked to the stadium. This was fine at 7pm, but when the game got out around 11pm, I had to walk back to my car alone, and I was more than a little nervous during the walk. No thanks. Now I’m back to parking in the $5 lots ten blocks north of the stadium. It’s a hike, but I’m with other Colts fans.
Check it to Pancakes! Pancakes!
The Colts: We play more football in the fourth quarter than some teams play all year!
hey now
LI >>>>>>>>>> Jersey
As a Giants fan, I don’t really care about the outcome of this game – the Jets & Colts were my 1a & 1b rooting option entering the playoffs, and I’m glad they’re in the AFCCG, and I’ll be rooting hard for whoever wins to win the Super Bowl. I think if you put a gun to my head I’d want you guys to win, b/c Peyton deserves it and while I have never had a problem with the Jets, much of that could be related to the fact that they’ve never won in my lifetime – I’m already starting to get annoyed at their fans.
Also, this post brings back wonderful memories of two years ago, so thanks for that. Here’s hoping history repeats and the Manning brothers win back-to-back Super Bowls again!
2009 Did Not Happen
NJ = Good; LI = Bad
As a Hoosier who’s lived in the NY tri-state for 7 years, I have to say it’s definitely the Long Islanders who muck up the area. Think of Long Island as the Fort Wayne of the northeast. You can always tell the difference between LI and NJ people when they’re in the city. Generally, people from NJ are so enthralled with NYC that when they go there, they think everything’s wonderful. Long Islanders think they’re from the city but know they’re not and have this inferiority complex. So if you’re in a restaurant, you’ll know the NJ’ers because they’re fawning over the food and having a good time (to the point of annoying everyone around them) whereas the LI’ers will be berating the wait staff and bitching that their wine isn’t as good as it was when they had it at (insert snooty restaurant name here). Bottom line is that most people from NJ like the Giants, most Jets fans live in LI. This probably explains Crackback’s personality disorder. I can’t wait to see him disappear after we dispatch the Jets.

Good for him
Something else that pisses me off (Rex related)
A co-worker just told me Rex Ryan gave the Jets an itinerary for Jan/Feb – including Wild Card playoff game, Divisional Round playoff game, AFCCG, SB, and a parade for them. I’m just very angry right now
I'm pretty upset as well...about alot of this crap I'm seeing.
I hope the Colts obliterate the Jests. I mean I want to see a beat down by our Colts.
My marriage could be on the line here. Because I WILL NOT spend a year listening to how Jabba the Rex beat the Colts and made it to the Super Bowl. I will take him for everything he’s worth first (the husband, not Jabba of course.) lol – sorta

I hear ya – Living here during this week sucks thought I converted a person who didn’t watch football in her life before Week 1 to a Colts fan rooting hard this weekend and she’s a female so she’s been texting me “All this Jets talk is making me sick” and “I hate how no one shuts up about the Jets.” It’s quite amusing lol
THAT IS EXACTLY WHY I HAVE HATED THEM ALL MY LIFE
The mindless jets jets jets talk has not stopped since 1968, good year or bad. I can clearly picture the faces of grade-school classmates who were Jets fans. Odious. Dallas fans, too, but far fewer and they were actually quieter about it.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
a lot of my disdain of Jersey
comes from the sports team and their fan bases. Sports fans are usually the extreme of a given culture. Jets fans don’t help Jersey’s cause.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
Christ, no, they don't.
Though it’s been about 23 years since I left NJ and 13 since I left NYC, my impression is that NJ swings more Giants than Jets (Long Island the reverse, NYC split). Same for Yankees/Mets.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
Jersey is definitely Giants/Yankees
but I still wouldn’t take either fan base

He does this to pump up his own team, not as a disrespect for the opponent. If you listen to his press conferences he has nothing but praise for the other team. The itinerary has the same intent as him saying that his team is good enough to beat any team.

Hey
You realize that Jets Pro Shop isn’t actually OWNED by the Jets, don’t you? It’s owned by a conglomerate named Sports Avenue, and this is their ad campaign. I did some very basic research, and guess what? They also happen to own the Saints Pro Shop and have the exact same clothing and gear.
Check it out:
My guess is that if they ran the Colt’s version, we’d have the exact same page too. Were you looking for the Jets to issue some sort of official complaint, maybe demand that the items be pulled? This is a marketing ploy, used by other teams and the NFL. They’re trying to make money, BBS. Not secretly trying to piss you off.
aw HELL no!
So then
why did they decide to register a domain named jetsshopCHAMPIONS.com but no saintsshopCHAMPIONS.com? This is taken directly from the Sports Avenue website:
By working closely with team organizations and leveraging it’s retail and marketing expertise Sports Avenue’s Stores are state-of-art examples of the Team Store concept.As much as you don’t want to admit it, the team organization must have some sort of say in what they want up on the site or not.
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." -Mark Twain
Maybe they felt that would help boost sales
Read the sentence you just quoted. “…retail and marketing expertise.” Theyre trying to sell team gear and make a profit, that’s their job. If they feel creating a different domain name for the more crass Jets fan, that’s their choice. It’s not like Rex Ryan pulled out a unique set of t-shirts and started selling them out of his truck. Sports Avenue obviously brainstormed for both clients and came up with new products representing AFC and NFC champs. They then submitted these ideas to some shadowy team representative, who thenn signed off on them. Because both the Saints gear and the Jets gear look exactly the same, you can’t argue that. So really, your point is that they took out this random domain name, and now everybody’s feelings are hurt. We have no idea why the Saints don’t have one. Maybe they reject that part of the presentation. Maybe the Jets wanted it added. Maybe some random fan is to blame. Who knows? But it seems a very minor detail to get one’s blood pressure up about. In fact, you’d think that whoever WAS stressing about it is just looking for a reason to bitch.
aw HELL no!
My point was that although the website is run by some third party,
the team absolutely has a say in what to do. The Jets organization has decided to be cocky about it and go ahead and display it all on the front page. You don’t think the company that runs the Colts site would do the same if it meant making money? Absolutely. But the site doesn’t display any of that on the front page because the person calling the shots has decided not to.
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." -Mark Twain
Sure
they have a say. they just chose to make money over being PC. It wasn’t planned as some sort of subtle jab or insult, which is what it’s being made out to be here.
How does trying to make money = Cocky?
aw HELL no!
There's making money, then there's being disrespectful.
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." -Mark Twain
We'll just have to agree to disagree
There comes a point where you have to stop worrying about treading on people’s toes, and, in my mind, the Jets were right at that point with this one.
aw HELL no!
As Giant fan that is familair with the area and local teams
you have a point. The Jets are ALWAYS trying to make a profit. Hell they signed Bret Favre to sell PSL’s in the new stadium becasue they are not sold out. The Jets have a very small fan base most of the NY area are Giants fans so the Jets are always pulling puplicity stunts to make money. They don’t sell out games and are in the bottom 10 in the league in merchandsing reveune so they are looking to pull a stunt to make money. It’s very annoying as a Giant fan because the jets front office pays off local media to cover their team. It’s kinda sad actually.
Come on man
You’re just f*cking reaching there. It’s the official pro shop of the team! It’s linked prominently on the front page of their official site. Maybe their official site is owned by Websports Aven. Inc. Sindicate of Whateverthef*ck, but it isn’t much of a stretch to think that if the Jets do not want something like that sold on the official pro shop, they’d tell the people running the site: HEY, DON’T SELL THAT! Crap like that kind of disrespects the opponent.
Speaking of the “Colts version,” the Colts pro shop has nothing up of the sort. Again, really reaching there man.

Exactly
I checked out the Colts pro shop website, and it has a banner saying “Good Luck in the AFC Championship!” with the only item pertaining to the AFCCG that is being sold now is a official game coin and the website is auctioning off the kick-off ball. There’s nothing about any championship gear for pre-order. The Jets organization wanted to do and allowed whoever owns the site to do it.
Peyton Manning makes it Wayne on them hoes!!!!
so a conclusion you could draw from that is that either the Colts pro shop either doesn’t have the gear, or is run by an inferior marketing team. Or you could go with, “Look at those other cocky bastards making money off their spot in the AFC championship game! Shame on them! Let’s run up the score and beat them into a bloody pulp!”
aw HELL no!
What?!
Where did I say that?! My point is that this situation is just “don’t count your chickens before they hatch” saying. The Jets’ marketing department is going overboard with pre-order crap, while the Colts’ team is playing it cool and not declaring it a victory before the damn ball is in play.
Peyton Manning makes it Wayne on them hoes!!!!
Calm down...
I’m not saying “you” as meaning you personally, I’m just pointing out there are different ways to interpret this.
aw HELL no!
I'm just sayin'...
I don’t think it’s that much of a stretch, just as you don’t think Sports Avenue and the Jets conspiring to spread hate and disrespect is a stretch. All I’m saying is that to the average business man, who’s marketing to a select (i.e. JETS) fanbase, making money is far more important than worrying what opposing fans are going to think about it.
The Jets organization licenses Sports Avenue to sell the products, so I’m guessing they get some sort of cut. That’s what makes it the “official” pro shop. Doesn’t mean that they micromanage everything that gets sold. Again, is the money they’re getting worth more than non-Jets opinions? I’m thinking not.
aw HELL no!
And no other team
throughout history has ever printed up championship gear? I can guarantee that the Colts have the gear all ready to go. Third world countries are clothed well in the loser’s gear. Everybody does it, the Jets Pro Shop simply decided to pre-sell the merchandise.
Go Jets
Go Devils
And nobody else
Owns guns? I can guarantee Joe Bob down the street owns some guns. He uses it for protection and some hunting. Everyone does it, Bill Smith just used his to shoot up a church.

It's just a pre-order apparently
Please Note: This is a pre-sell item. In the event that the Jets do not advance to the Super Bowl, this item will be cancelled from your order and your credit card will not be charged.

Is it possible?
That I’m beginning to hate the Jets more than the Patriots? Well, at least in the short term that is definitely the case, but look at the facts.
At least the Patriots have won 3 freakin super bowls and have accomplished themselves as a top-tier elite team over the last 10 years. Yes, they are cocky and arrogant, but they are an accomplished team at least. The Jets, on the other hand, are as arrogant and cocky as the Patriots, maybe more so. Hell, the only reason Rex Ryan isn’t regarded as a classless prick like Bill Belichick is because of his fat, teddy bearish characteristics and he actually smiles some times.
Yet, the Jets have been an AFC East doormat team for the better part of the decade, and they really shouldn’t be in the playoffs this year (again, Jets fans, your welcome you ungrateful buffoons) and for some reason they act like with their 9*-7 record (* obviously b/c of wk 16) they should be considered Super Bowl favorites. This is one team I would be happy to see us run the score up, and we will surely have that opportunity.
Let me go on record as saying that what I wrote above is the nicest thing I will ever say about the Patriots.

Their fans
are so incredibly reprehensible. Their coach smells like french fries, I’m sure of it. Their quarterback is a southern California pretty boy who also went to USC. The media is sucking their cocks and balls in spite of our Colts. I’d say it’s justifiable to hate them.
stop beating about the bush and tell us what you really think.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
The Jets in this Colts fans eyes
are like the Spencer Pratt of the NFL. Quit acting like your important, you suck and nobody likes you. And yes, I’m thoroughly embarrassed that I just used the words “Spencer Pratt” on a football blog.

You can go without ever watch any reality TV, but somehow find out about every one in every show from her, and then mention their names in sports blogs. This is what I get for talking football around her. I think it’s of some sort retaliation.

funny
As cocky as they’ve been, I still don’t hate the Jets. It’s actually just been sort of amusing to me. I still like Rex Ryan’s moves, including handing the team a schedule through the Super Bowl parade. Also like I said, I wouldn’t want him for MY team because I think that’s a sure jinx, but it’s entertaining for me to see from afar.
Now if that were Belichick handing out such a schedule (which I doubt he would ever do), I would loathe the move and probably fill internet chat after internet chat with how classless, arrogant and cocky he is… but that’s because (a) he’s Bill Belichick, and (b) cognitive dissonance.
How can you not love a team that does this?

Why
are there Jets fans at every sports bar across the country? And it’s always like the rejects from jersey shore. I remember watching Colts games when i was attending IU. never saw so many flipped up collars in my life.
BTW, as NJ Shore homeowner, please understand
Those people are not typical. In fact in our town, which is a “family town” with no boardwalk, minimal bars, very little singles action, you have to buy a tag ahead of time to go on the beach (yes, you might also call it snooty), it’s a very normal, healthy place to vacation. For my kids, it’s a tossup between there and Kauai (pathetic, I know).
While I understand my NJ family watches it, it’a mainly to laugh at it. They also watched the Sopranos religiously (and we’re eyetalian) but that doesn’t mean they’re mobsters. Please don’t smear NJ because of Jets fans or TV stereotypes.
It IS the Garden State, after all!

It's their fans (and their media)
that bothers me and wants the Colts to kill them. The players are insanely cocky and have basically made up stories that Colts players have trashed talked them and disrepected them.
But, eh, this happens every time an Indiana team goes against an East Coast team…Pacers/Knicks, Colts/Pats, and now Colts/Jets. Maybe I have short term memory but these Jets’ fans take the cake. God, they annoy the hell out of me.
What would I expect from a team that’s based in New Jersey and plays in a place called Giants stadium.
And another thing: I'm a fan of sportsmanship
but if the Colts decide to run up the score, I wouldn’t have a problem with that.

I never care about winning big
To me a win is a win is a win but this Sunday I’d like for the Jets to suffer – will I be any less satisfied if we win 21-17 compared to 42-0, absolutely not but the Jets really kept pressing the issue, rubbing it in, making stupid accusations and snap judgments and I for one, hate it. I’m still hating it. I wish I didn’t live in NY for this week and I’ve never said that in my life before.
I've never wanted to beat a team so badly
Even more than the Patriots. I want to see young Jets fans crying after this loss. I want to see dreams crushed. I love how they have become America’s sweetheart. That will just make it more fun to beat them.

I want them to prove over and over again that they are not soft. I want the Colts to take the Jets’s “old-school smash mouth” football and shove it back down their throats. I want them to completely and utterly obliterate them. I want them to send a message to the NFC champions. I want them to prove to everyone without a shadow of a doubt that this is where they belong and that they are here on one mission and one mission alone. I want them to bring that Lombardi Trophy home. GO COLTS!!!

If the Jets win, it’s because the Jets didn’t like what R. Brock said on Twitter OR
Catch my drift?
there's a difference between what the Jets say...
… and what the media hypes up. Karma and all that has nothing to do with what the Jets team said. Rex Ryan saying he believes in his team’s ability to beat the Colt is not arrogance, it’s call having confidence in your team. Stop with this arrogance nonsense, it’s all the work of the media.

Rex simply believes his team is good enough to win it all, against any opponent, and so far he’s backed it up. It’s his way of making his team appreciate the magnitude of the playoffs, it’s not meant as disrespect to any team. Every coach has his own method. Unlike most other coaches he says what he believes in and it might rub people the wrong way because they are so used to the humble and quiet approach. Rex is brash but he’s not arrogant.

Meanwhile, while the Jets were busy making a buck on a fantasy notion
The Colts opened up Lucas Oil Stadium for a free rally/party for fans. Great live music, lots of free stuff for the kids, Jim Irsay, Bob Lamey, Bob Zupancic, the Governor, some crab cakes from Baltimore, Cheerleaders and about 20K fans all were there.
Oh, and the only AFC championship gear in sight was the banners hanging from past conference wins.
The Jets thing is a farce
90% of NY area in Giant fans. The Jets front office paid off the local news papers and radio stations to do that, they’re trying to sell PSL’s in the Giants new stadium for their team. . . nobodys buying. . . the Jets are kinda of a joke in the NY area. Most of the NY area is rooting for the Colts.
Everybody does it
but the Jets are more dramatic about it. It’s just business. This one season will galvanize a huge fanbase for a decade. The franchise is smart for capitalizing.
In the bigger picture, kind of in response to where the thread has gone: Players always get nastier before big games. Quotes get reported and fans feed off that aggression. I feel it. I felt it last week. I was happy to read about everyones happy interactions with ravens fans, but all I saw (on line) was negative Indyhate. I’m happy to hear players like gary Brackett, Raheem Brock, and Clint Session speak their mind on the subject. Our D is much tougher than advertised and the Jets are gonna take it for 4 quarters
Somewhere in the world, there are impoverished children that think the Bills won four Super Bowls, the Pats went 19-0, and will shortly be thinking the Jets won the AFC Championship.
That being said, my mom’s side of the family are all Jets season ticket holders. I, however, am a born and raised Hoosier. We’ve spent a week starting emails with “How ’bout them Mets?”

The Jets fans are worse than Pats, Steelers, Chargers, and Cowboys fans combined. The arrogance is unbelievable. I can’t wait for them to be shut up!
As a Giant fan I can't tell you how true that statement is
THey are the worst and what’s funny is they have a tiny fan base that barley sells out games. Most of NY area is Giant fans. Every season the Jets front office pays off the local media to pumped of the Jets and every year they finish in third place while the Giants usally are competative. For the first time in 40 years they lived up to the hype so it’s been beyond unbearble around here for the past few weeks. The whole Jet pep ralley was a fluke it was staged but the few fans they have are beyond arrogant and cocky. I hope the Colts beat the piss out of them this week and most of NY does too.
Hey hater,
how about staying in a forum that is actually relevant to your team, and how about not making broad statements on the Jets fans just because a few obnoxious fans pissed you off. How about worrying about your own team, which closed out its stadium in disgrace instead of making an ass of yourself spreading nonsense. You say the Jets are not competitive, but over the last decade they’ve had 7 winning seasons, the Giants have 5. So take you SB and stop acting like a crybaby. The Jets have nothing to do with the Giants not making the playoffs.

I’m from the NY area, I can attest to it better than a Colts fan I’m not spouting BS it’s the truth and Colt fans are just getting a sampling of how obnoxius they are, I’m just letting them know. Like I said ealrier this is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. I’m not making random posts about how idiotic the Jet organzation is becasue I’m a “cry-baby” look at the title of the thread and tell me who the cry baby is:
“Jets act like idiots, sell gear on their Pro Shop site proclaiming them AFC Champions " LOL! I mean really I should’nt post about how obnoxius the Jets organization is with a thread title like that!
So based on that, this guy thinks I should’nt offer a pretty accurate opinion about the team and fanbase being from the NY area. I said it before but this guy keeps proving my point about their fanbase. I don’t go on their blog to post about his team to start shit, I bitch about them on a Giants and Colts blog when relevant. This guy needs to go over it already. The Jets have a small obnoxious fan base and there front office has to pay media outlets for attention to sell seats. Thats the truth and this latest attempt to make a buck and buy some fans is just another example of it. Thats why they are kinda a joke in the NY area.
first of all
I don’t go to other teams blogs to post shit, if anything to post there to defend my team against nonsense by fans like this guy who has nothing but contempt for the Jets, all because a few bad Jets fans made fun of him, and now he holds a grudge toward the Jets and all their fans. My comment telling me to stop posting here was a bit out of hand, but his BS is really uncalled for. I’m not the one here talking trash about another team and their fans, I’m not the one making up some BS and trying to uphold that nonsense without any proof other saying “oh I live in NY so I can stereotype the Jets fan base and have an inside knowledge on how their organization really works”. Yeah the media hypes up the Jets, you know why? Because the Jets are in the playoffs and the Giants are not! It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the hype is not due to how much the Jets spend on media but on how well the team is playing, and it has nothing to do with whether you live in the NYC area or not.
As for the whole AFC champ shirts, all the four teams left do it, so it’s not a big deal to begin with. It has nothing to do with what happens on Sunday.

I don't care if you Giants fans root for Jets fans or not
I was just curious of why there’s so much irrational hate Giants fans have over Jets fans, because I never hear Jets fans at GGN speak ill of the Giants. And don’t tell me that nonsense about Giants fans being classy, otherwise you are just being a hypocrite.

the Jets are playing my team this Sunday
I believe that’s reason enough to post here, unlike the hater above who loves more to bash the Jets and root for his own team.

At least
In 5 winning seasons, the Giants gave the greatest upset in the history of the NFL. Bigger than the upset your own Jets gave to the Colts in SB III
Quitters never win, but cheaters sometimes do
Hey hater,
how about staying in a forum that is actually relevant to your team, and how about not making broad statements on the Jets fans just because a few obnoxious fans pissed you off. How about worrying about your own team, which closed out its stadium in disgrace instead of making an ass of yourself spreading nonsense. You say the Jets are not competitive, but over the last decade they’ve had 7 winning seasons, the Giants have 5. So take you SB and stop acting like a crybaby. The Jets have nothing to do with the Giants not making the playoffs.
Everyone does it
How do you think they get those hats and shirts right away after the game?
Staring down Mark Sanchez. Just look into the those brown beauties.
If you read through the thread, you'd know that we're not denying this.
We are simply stating that there is a difference between being prepared and flaunting

Jets Merchandise
Jets AFC Champions wear? The only place I will probably ever see it is when I watch the National Geographic channel and they show people in places like Botswana that were given the shirts as a donation.
