The New York Jets will be wearing a new alternate helmet when they host the Green Bay Packers during Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season. The Jets debuted a new “White Out” helmet, featuring a white shell and white facemask, that will be worn during the team’s home opener at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 20 with the Packers in town.
Here’s the new look awaiting the Packers in Week 2:
The helmet also includes a green stripe down the middle and a green “Jets” logo on each side. New York will match the helmet with their “Legacy White” uniforms to create the new look.
The Jets are one of many teams, including the Packers, who have debuted an all-white helmet to go with all-white uniforms in recent years. The Jets have a “White Out” set, while the Packers call their all-whites “Winter Warning.”
The Jets wearing all white at home in Week 2 will almost certainly force the Packers to wear their traditional home uniform on the road. Green Bay wore home uniforms on the road twice in 2025: at Dallas (Cowboys wear white at home) and at New York (Giants wore throwback white uniforms). The Packers open the 2026 season on the road against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 and the Jets in Week 2 before hosting the Atlanta Falcons for the home opener in Week 3.
A reminder: the Packers have an alternate uniform coming in 2026. Nike’s “Rivalries” uniforms come to all four NFC North teams this season.
