New York Jets

Between the years 1960 and 1962, the New York Jets were known as the New York Titans. Thereafter, the team was put up for sale and Sonny Werblin and his partners bought the team before the next season began. Prior to the sale, the New York Jets monopoly belonged to Harry Wismer.

In the New York Jets history, the team transferred twice before residing in their current home stadium. For 1960-1963, the team played their home games at the Polo Grounds. Transfer of ownership also meant the transfer of stadium, and the team transferred to the Shea Stadium which became the New York Jets home field from 1964-1983. The New York Jets stadium is now located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and it is called “the Meadowlands”, which is also known as the “Giants Stadium”. The New York Jets shares this stadium with the New York Giants, another NFL team based in New York. Now, the person who owns the New York Jets is Woody Johnson.

At the start of the franchise, the New York Jets was playing great football, culminating in a championship title with a Super Bowl victory over the Colts during the 1968 season. Since the New York Jets was originally an AFL team, they became the first team to defeat an NFL team in the Super Bowl after the merger. The team was backed by the Hall of Fame quarterback, Joe Namath and great running back Bill Mathis of New York Jets. After the Joe Namath era, the team would appear in four playoffs in the six years between 1981 and 1986. The star of this era was Harry Hamilton, a New York Jets football player who was considered a legendary football player. The next great era of New York Jets football happened between the years 1998 and 2006, when the team managed to make the playoffs five times. This time, the team is led by the great offensive plays of Brad Smith of New York Jets. Last season, the team finished second in the AFC-East and was eliminated in the first round by the Patriots.
