How to get an Aaron Rodgers New York Jets jersey

The 2023 NFL season is finally here. The season kicked off with the Hall of Fame game last week between the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets. All eyes are on the Jets now that four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers has joined the team after leading the Green Bay Packers for 17 years. That's great news for long-suffering Jets fans who haven't seen their team in the postseason since QB Mark Sanchez led the Jets to the playoffs in 2010.

The Rodgers era in New York has begun. A-Rod looks good in (Gotham) green. You will, too.

Why Aaron Rodgers wears No. 8 on his Jets jersey

When fans think of Rodgers, they immediately think of him in a green No. 12 jersey. The California native wore the number 12 on his jersey for all of his 17 seasons with the Pack after donning No. 8 during his time with the Cal Bears. Rodgers will still be in green, Jets Gotham Green that is, but he'll sport an eight on his jersey despite being one of the most famous 12's in NFL history. (Though Tom Brady might have something to say about that.)

So why did Rodgers leave number 12 behind? It all comes down to one thing, respect. Joe "Broadway Joe" Namath is one of the most famous players to ever wear a Jets uniform, and No. 12 was synonymous with Namath. The Jets retired Namath's number in 1985, but he has since said he approves of Rodgers un-retiring his number. Namath told Tiki Barber, "Well, this is what I'm saying, it's on ownership. It's different ownership. It's different people. And I'd sure love Rodgers, if he's there, I want him to wear his number."

Despite having Namath's blessing Rogers opted to return to No. 8, the number he wore during his college days in Cali. "[Number] 12 is Broadway Joe," Rodgers told journalists. "And I didn't even want to go down his path."
