The Jets modified their uniforms for the 1990 season, adding a thin black outline to the numerals, striping and helmet decals and changing the facemask color from white to black. The team also added a set of green pants, to be worn with its white jerseys. The green pants had a single white stripe with thin black borders from hip to knee on each side. The new uniforms debuted in the regular-season opener on September 9 at
Cincinnati; the team wore its previous uniforms, without the black trim, in preseason games.
Coaching change On December 26, 1989, the New York Jets fired head coach
Joe Walton after seven seasons following a 4–12 record to end the
1989 NFL season. His entire coaching staff was also dismissed. On February 6, 1990, the team hired
Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator
Bruce Coslet as their new head coach. Among Coslet’s hires was
Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach
Pete Carroll, who became his defensive coordinator.
