Of course, we have to do a poll on the Jets Flight Crew new uniforms.
Here’s the look from 2008:
This is 2009:
And here’s the best cold-weather uniform in the NFL (IMO):

This just in: Sweethearts for Soldiers Organization Announces Impressive 2010 Sweetheart Lineup SAN DIEGO, CA October 1 2009 – - The California based non-profit organization, Sweethearts for Soldiers (SFS), have announced their 2010 Sweethearts. The list of 28 women from all over the world represents more than 20 major professional football and basketball teams. Among the list of women are some familiar faces; Jenni Croft from the Bachelor, Megan Clementi who is currently Miss Florida USA 2010 and Bonnie-Jill Laflin, actress and first ever female NBA scout for the LA Lakers. The Sweethearts will volunteer their time to provide morale boosting and entertainment-type services to military personnel in all branches of the Armed Forces. The Sweethearts will further the mission of the organization by performing variety shows on tours to military bases and installations stateside and abroad, making appearances at various charity events, and producing a yearly calendar that will be a delivered to military personnel. To be selected as a Sweetheart they must have performed with a professional major league football or basketball team and have a passion for volunteering their time to the military. “I can’t think of a better way to spend my time and I am proud to be a member of the 2010 Sweethearts for Soldiers”, says Anna Smith who is one of the new 2010 Sweethearts and cheered with teams from Seattle, Baltimore and Washington, DC. Co-founder Tonya Helman states “The past two years have been extremely successful for the Sweethearts for Soldiers Organization. We were able to go Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar and bring some light to those serving overseas. Also by partnering with the Wounded Warrior Project in Jacksonville and Snowball Express in Phoenix for various events, we were able to combine our efforts for troop support and get the Sweethearts’ into the local community talking about our mission.” Helman has been on 14 tours and danced for three Professional football teams. With the program growing so has the staff of the SFS organization. Donald Wells, former Director of the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders is taking the helm as Director of Marketing and Sponsorships. Mr. Wells has been on a record setting 27 Department of Defense tours and has a true passion for the military. With his 16+ years of pro entertainment experience he plans to help take the Sweethearts to a level that they can reach hundreds of thousands every year. This year Mr. Wells worked with designer Deb Erickson of The Line Up to develop an official uniform for the Sweethearts. Each uniform will showcase the Sweethearts for Soldiers logo and is covered in hand placed crystals. (politely butting in) Sweetheart Jenny shows off the new threads with a couple of Marines who I’m sure were dragged, kicking and screaming, into service for this photo. Semper Fi! (~sasha)

So far, they’re in the regular photo section, not the special cheerleader photo section. You can see the first batch here.
While you’re at it, check out those new white uniforms. It looks like maybe they are working with the same company that did the Dolphins outfits. I guess fringe is the next big things in costume design! I think I might have done this poll last year.

Last season, the Jets Flight Crew debuted their new uniforms, designed by Marc Ecko. Freelance Art Director/Graphic Designer Nick Corey was involved in the process and explained it this way:
Marc, Nick, Malia, and Flight Crew Director Denise Garvey put their heads together and debuted this sassy new look last fall. Click here for more photos and info about the designs.  [Click image to view full size] Unfortunately, the costumes, as unique and cute as they were, were more conducive to personal appearances than game day performances. It looked like the Jets would have to go back to the drawing board on this one. Yesterday, I found a set of photos from a recent Jets home game on Flickr. (Click here to view). It looks the Jets made a few design changes, did some useablity testing, and came back with something new for 2009. Ta-da!  [Click image to view full size] I have my own theories about how this developed. One of the things that made last year’s unis complicated was the plethora of accessories. With the hat, belt, sunglasses, collar, scarf, cuffs, and gloves, there was a lot going on. They pared all of that down this time around. Basically, the only thing that stayed the same is the black button-front vest. 1. The first thing they did was ditch the hats. Those disappeared, I believe, after the first home game last year. NFL cheerleaders toss their hair a lot. Even an army-inspired garrison cap and a fist full of hairpins couldn’t withstand that kind of action. 2. The scarf had to go too. I bet that thing could whip a girl senseless by halftime on windy days. 3. Without the scarf, the collar didn’t make much sense. I suppose they could have gone with bow ties… 4. Interestingly, although they scrapped the collar, they kept the cuffs and cufflinks, and added some extra bling for good measure. 5. They changed the white under-top. I don’t know why. Maybe it was uncomfortable. Maybe they had to find somewhere else to put the flight crew wings, now that the hat has gone the way of the dinosaur. 6. They definitely had to address the skirt/bloomers situation. That skirt must have ridden up something awful last year, especially with the bloomers underneath. The new skirt has more stretch and regular green trunks underneath. They also added a couple of slits for freedom of movement. Well done! 7. They also made a few other miscellaneous changes. They fancied-up the belt and belt buckle and switched from black boots to white. There’s no sign of the sunglasses and gloves. So….in short, they traded a bit of the WWII stewardess whimsy for something a bit more practical. What do you guys think? It remains to be seen what – if anything – they’ve done to the jumpsuits they wore last winter. I am quite fond of the jumpsuits, so hopefully those haven’t changed much.

Ni Hao — BlazerDancers in China: Day 1 Our once in a lifetime journey started at 8:00 am at PDX. BlazerDancers Caitlin, Cristi, Taren, Eri, Mari and Mary Ellen and I began our trip to NBA Madness 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan and Hong Kong! So much excitement in the air as none of us have ever been to China. This is the first International trip for all of the ladies as BlazerDancers. Our journey took us through San Francisco, directly to Tokyo and finally about 20 hours later to Taipei, Taiwan! Of course through customs and the challenge of finding our way to correct baggage claim area. Luckily we have Eri who understands some of the language and was able to guide us through the airport. Or first challenge – Caitlin’s luggage with all of her uniforms, shoes, accessories is missing! Our first event is in the morning and Caitlin has nothing to wear! Luckily each dancer packed one uniform and shoes in their carryon just in case of emergency! Thank goodness for that last minute idea. Always be prepared! We were greeted at the exit by our fabulous escorts Doris and Zeno who will be with us for our stay here in Taiepei. The nicest two people we could be lucky to work with. The second we exit the airport we’re overwhelmed by the heat and humidity! It must have been 90 degrees but it felt like 110. Our Rockstar Energy Drink Sweats were perfectly comfortable for the long journey here but it was time for a quick little adjustment to survive the temperature. As we traveled for an hour by bus to the fabulous Shangri-La hotel in Taipei, we were able.to see the city by night. It never sleeps. It’s like New York City. What stood out most…..the Vespas1 They’re everywhere. We were later told there are 22 million people here…..and……22 million Vespas! One of our hosts says he has three of his own. Just imagine New ork City cab drivers on Vespas, weaving in and out of traffic and serious speed. Everyone rides them, adults, kids and familes, yes we saw three people on one Vespa! We’re hoping to rent some for a tour of the city while we’re here. Once checked in at the Shangri-Lal we had a late dinner at one of the many bar/restaraunts here at the hotel on the 38 floor. We were able to see the beautiful city of Taipei by night and for the first time, the tallest buidling in the world, Taipei 101. Amazing! Can’t wait to see it up close. Time to nestle in and try to get some sleep. NBA MAdness 2009 begins tomorrow! Wan an – good night!
