Jets uniforms
The New York Jets' current uniform and primary logo, in use since 1998, are modernized versions of the design the franchise used from 1965–77. The team colors are hunter green and white. The helmet is white with two parallel green stripes down the center (i.e., over the top from forehead to nape) and a green facemask. The primary logo, which appears on each side of the helmet and on the jersey front by the player's left shoulder, is a green oval with the word "JETS" in thick white sans-serif italics over "NY" in outline serif lettering, and a white miniature football graphic at bottom center. The jerseys have standard one-color block numerals and serif lettering, alternating stripes on the shoulders, and opposite-colored sleeves and TV numerals. The team uses both white pants with two parallel green stripes from hip to knee on each side, and green pants with white stripes. The socks are white with either solid green above the ankle, or two parallel green stripes around the calf.
The Jets are currently the only team in the National Football League whose entire primary uniform, from helmet to socks, consists of only two colors (apart from the NFL shield and American flag decals). The Indianapolis Colts' blue-and-white uniforms have no third/trim color on their jerseys, pants or socks, but their helmets have gray facemasks. The Oakland Raiders' home jerseys and pants are black and silver only, but the uniform has white on the socks and helmet-logo decals, and the road jerseys are white with black numerals and silver trim. The Detroit Lions have an alternate/"throwback" uniform that is blue and silver only.

History of the Jets' logos and uniforms[edit]
1960–62: Titans of New York[edit]
Cornerback Darrelle Revis wearing the New York Titans throwback uniform. This design combined the original shade of gold from 1960 with the 1961–62 striping modifications.
The Jets began play in 1960 as the Titans of New York, whose uniforms were navy blue with old gold numerals, gold pants with two parallel blue stripes on each side, and navy blue helmets with a single gold stripe down the center and no logo decals.[1] The white jerseys had navy blue numerals. The original Titans uniform designs resembled those of Notre Dame due to an affinity the franchise's original principal owner, Harry Wismer, had for the Fighting Irish.[2] Wismer, who was considered a sportscasting pioneer, broadcast replays of Notre Dame football games prior to owning the Titans.[3] In 1961 the Titans added UCLA-style shoulder stripes (white and gold on the blue jerseys, navy blue and gold on the white jerseys), changed the pants striping to a blue stripe flanked by white stripes, and employed a somewhat brighter shade of gold.
1963–77: Kelly green and white[edit]
This 1964 game program cover shows how the original Jets jersey sleeves were tailored, with thick stripes above and below the TV numeral and ¾-length sleeves. By the mid-1970s the sleeves were shorter and the shoulder stripes thinner.
When a Sonny Werblin-led syndicate purchased the team prior to the 1963 season and renamed it the Jets, the entire uniform was redesigned and replaced. Navy and gold were abandoned in favor of kelly green and white; white pants and green or white jerseys.[1] Werblin had embraced those colors because he was born on Saint Patrick's Day.[1][4] The jersey sleeves were opposite-colored (white on green and vice-versa) from shoulder to elbow, with thick stripes above and below the TV numerals. The pants were white with two parallel green stripes on each side, and the socks were green above the ankle with two parallel white stripes around the calf. The new helmets were white with a single green stripe down the center; the logo decal on each side was a silhouette of a jet airplane in green, with the nose pointed toward the front of the helmet and the word "JETS" in thick white sans-serif italics along the fuselage. In 1964, the single green stripe became two parallel stripes, and the jet-plane decals were replaced with a white football shape outlined in green, with the word "JETS" in green sans-serif italics in front of "NY" in green outline serif lettering, and a miniature football at bottom center. The decals were difficult to see from a distance (or on television), so the colors were reversed and the decals enlarged in 1965.
1968 game program showing the 1965-77 helmet and primary logo design. The logo decal was set horizontally beginning in 1972.
This design remained largely unchanged through 1977, apart from some variations to the numeral and lettering typefaces, the angle of the helmet decals, and adjustments to the shoulder and sleeve striping due to changes in NFL jersey tailoring and materials.[1] The white stripes on the socks were eliminated in 1975. Also, for at least one game in 1971 the Jets used a variation of their white jerseys that had no green stripes on the shoulders above the green sleeves.
1978–97: Green helmets and modern logo[edit]
1978–97 Jets wordmark and primary logo. A thin black outline was added in 1990.
Wide receiver Wesley Walker wearing the 1978-89 uniform. Note the green helmet and modified shoulder/sleeve design.
The Jets' first major design change was made for the 1978 season. The kelly green and white color scheme was retained; the new helmets were solid green with white facemasks, and a stylized "JETS" wordmark in white on each side. The mark featured angular lettering and a silhouette of a modern jet airplane extending horizontally to the right from the top of the "J" above the "ETS". The jerseys featured large TV numerals on the shoulders and two thick parallel stripes on the sleeves, while the pants had a single green stripe from hip to knee on each side.[1] The team used both serif and sans-serif lettering for player names on the back of the jerseys in 1978 and 1979, then sans-serif only beginning in 1980. From 1985-89, the Jets wore their white jerseys at home as well as on the road; the green jerseys appeared only on rare occasions in road games when the host team wore white.
In 1990, the Jets modified this design by adding thin black outlines to the numerals, lettering, stripes and helmet decals, and changing the facemasks from white to black.[1] The team reverted to using the green jersey as its primary home uniform, reintroduced the white stripes on the socks, and added a set of green pants to be worn with the white jerseys along with white socks that had two parallel green stripes around the calf. The team occasionally wore white pants and standard socks with the white jerseys from 1995-97. In 1995, player names on the backs of the jerseys were changed from black-outlined sans-serif lettering to one-color serif lettering.
1998–present: Retro update[edit]
Upon taking over as administrator and head coach in 1997, Bill Parcells took the initiative and began the process of re-forming the team's identity and redesigning the team's uniforms for the 1998 season.[5] The team changed its primary uniform color from kelly green to hunter green, abandoned black as a trim color, and replaced the stylized "JETS" wordmark with a modified version of the 1965-77 logo, this one oval rather than football-shaped and with a somewhat "cleaner" appearance, with starker lines defining the lettering and football graphic.[5] This logo was also added to the jersey front, by the player's left shoulder.[6] The helmets reverted to white with two parallel green stripes down the center, the new primary logo decal on each side, and green facemasks.[6] The jerseys and pants also resembled the 1963-77 uniforms, with alternating shoulder stripes, opposite-colored sleeves and TV numerals, and two green parallel stripes from hip to knee on each side. The socks became solid green above the ankle, with no stripes.
Running back Chris Ivory wearing the current Jets uniform, a design in use since 1998 with some variations in tailoring and coloration. Note the shoulder inserts designed to simulate the 1963-77 striping pattern on the sleeves.
This uniform has to date remained largely unchanged save for some variations in coloration and shoulder/sleeve tailoring, and the occasional commemorative patch. In 2002, the team introduced a set of green pants with two parallel white stripes on each side, along with white socks with green stripes resembling those used with the green pants from 1990-97.[7] The green pants have since been worn occasionally with both the green and white jerseys.[8][9] Although the white socks were meant to be worn with the green pants, the team tends to use them whenever the white jerseys are worn, with either green or white pants.
Throwbacks and special uniforms[edit]
In 1993 the Jets became the first NFL team to wear a "throwback" uniform, for a home game against the Cincinnati Bengals celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1968 championship team. The jersey and pants mimicked the 1963-77 design, although the team wore its regular green helmets with a white-outlined version of the 1965-77 logo decal. Although it was a home game, the team wore white jerseys as it had done in Super Bowl III. In 1994, as part of the NFL's 75th Anniversary celebration, the Jets wore both home and road versions of this uniform in select games, again using their regular green helmets with the 1965-77 logo but with two parallel white stripes down the center, and a jersey patch by the player's left shoulder commemorating the NFL's 75th anniversary.[10]
On October 14, 2007, the Jets celebrated their heritage with a special Titans Throwback Day, a home game against the Philadelphia Eagles.[11][11] They also honored the four original Titans who played as Jets in Super Bowl III, Don Maynard, Bill Mathis, Larry Grantham and Curley Johnson,.[11] These uniforms combined elements of the 1960 and 1961-62 uniforms, with navy blue helmets and jerseys, old gold serif numerals and helmet stripes, gold and white shoulder stripes, and gold pants with blue and white stripes on each side. New York wore these uniforms once more in December when the team played the Miami Dolphins at Dolphin Stadium.[12]
The Titans uniforms made another appearance in 2008. Originally scheduled for the home opener against the Patriots, the throwback dates were changed to the second and third home games, against the Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals, respectively.[13] On October 26, 2008, the Jets honored the 1968 championship team by displaying a commemorative 40th anniversary Super Bowl III patch on their left chest.[13] The team also held a halftime ceremony to honor the championship alumni.[13]
Jets players wearing the white Titans throwback uniforms in 2009.
In 2009, as part of the NFL's celebration of the 50th season for the original eight teams of the American Football League, the Jets wore their blue Titans uniforms in a home game against the Tennessee Titans, who dressed as the 1960 Houston Oilers, on September 27, 2009.[14] The Jets also introduced a white-jersey version of the Titans throwbacks, with navy blue numerals and navy and gold shoulder stripes.[14] The Jets wore these against the Raiders in Oakland on October 25, 2009, and again against the Miami Dolphins at home on November 1.[14] Throughout the 2009 season, the Jets' jerseys featured their 50th anniversary patch; the Titans throwbacks also bore a commemorative AFL patch.[14] Those throwbacks did not make an appearance in 2010 but were re-introduced a year later for a home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.[15] Since then the NFL has adopted a "one-helmet" rule as part of its concussion protocol, which precludes teams from using "throwback" helmets requiring a different-colored helmet shell.[16][17]
On November 12, 2015, the Jets participated in the NFL's first "Color Rush" promotion on Thursday Night Football, at home against the Buffalo Bills.[18] The uniform used the same basic template as the standard uniform but with kelly green in place of hunter green; green jerseys and pants with white numerals and stripes, and solid green socks. Although the jerseys had the regular shoulder inserts the sleeves were not inverted, i.e., they were green with white TV numerals. The helmet decals, stripes and facemasks were also kelly green, with a shiny chromed finish. Because the Bills wore solid red uniforms in the game, the matchup was problematic for fans with red-green color blindness.[19] When the two teams met again the following season for Thursday Night Football-"Color Rush" on September 15, 2016, the Jets wore their standard white uniforms and helmet decals with white facemasks and solid white socks.[20]
On October 1, 2017, for a Sunday afternoon home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Jets again wore white facemasks with their standard white uniforms, this time with the striped white socks. The kelly-green uniforms with chromed accents returned for a Thursday night "Color Rush" game on November 2, 2017, at home against the Bills, who wore white.

Overview[edit]
The season begins at the moment the fifth season ended, with Lorelai having just proposed to Luke. Luke accepts but they decide to delay the wedding until after she has reconciled with Rory. During the estrangement, Lorelai buys a dog, Paul Anka. Rory is given 300 hours community service for the boat theft and Emily gets her a job in the office at the DAR. However, Rory begins to resent Emily's attempts to turn her into her and, after five months apart, moves back home and returns to Yale.
Doyle steps down as editor of the Yale Daily News and is replaced by Paris. The couple get an apartment near college and Rory moves into their spare room. However, Paris soon alienates the newsroom with her bullying style of leadership and is voted out, with Rory chosen to replace her. Paris throws Rory out and she moves in with Logan but the girls reconcile after falling out with their boyfriends for the night. Logan is injured during a Life and Death Brigade stunt and Rory nurses him during his convalescence.
Zach becomes jealous of Lane's friendship with Brian and starts a fight on stage as the band are about to play for a record label. However, Zach manages to bring everyone back together and proposes to Lane. They marry towards the end of the season. Christopher inherits a large sum of money from his father and offers to do something for Lorelai and Rory. Rory asks him to pay her Yale fees, freeing her from her obligation to Richard and Emily, but a Friday night working through their difficulties sees the Gilmores on good terms again. Michel objects to Luke being used as an unofficial handyman at the inn but this turns out to be because he misses his planning sessions with Lorelai.
Lorelai and Sookie throw themselves into organising the wedding but Luke learns he has a 12-year-old daughter, April Nardini, when she comes in wanting a DNA test. He hides her from Lorelai for two months and even then keeps them apart, since he is worried April will get on better with her and April's mother Anna doesn't want her getting attached to someone who might not be permanent. Luke postpones the wedding while he gets to know April. Lorelai discovers Kirk is helping Richard and Emily look at properties in Stars Hollow but it turns out they are looking for a marital home for her and Luke.
In the season finale, Logan graduates from college and Rory throws him a farewell party before Mitchum sends him to London for a year. Lorelai saves Christopher from a blind date Emily has set him up with, then tries to get Luke to elope with her but he refuses. The season closes with Lorelai waking up to discover she has spent the night with Christopher.

1 "New and Improved Lorelai" Amy Sherman-Palladino Amy Sherman-Palladino September 13, 2005 (2005-09-13) 2T6301 6.22
Picking up on the same night as last season's finale, Lorelai and Luke begin making plans for their future, but Luke (Scott Patterson) is embarrassed when word spreads that Lorelai was the one who proposed. Still hurt over Rory's decision to drop out of Yale and move in with Emily and Richard, Lorelai tells her parents that they can take care of Rory from now on. Richard hires an old friend and respected attorney to help Rory get an easy sentence for stealing the yacht, but the judge gives Rory 300 hours of community service.

John Carpenter
Born
1968 (age 48–49)
Education

Occupation
IRS agent
Known for
First top prize winner on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Home town
Northampton, Massachusetts
John Carpenter (born c. 1968)[1] is an American game show contestant and IRS agent. He is best known for becoming the first top prize winner on the United States version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. He held the record for the largest single win in United States game show history, until it was broken by Rahim Oberholtzer who won $1.12 million on another U.S. quiz show, Twenty One.[2] Carpenter was also the first top prize winner among all international versions of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? series.
On the November 19, 1999, episode of Millionaire, Carpenter proceeded to advance to the million-dollar question without using any lifelines. He then used his Phone-A-Friend to call his father not for help, but rather to tell him he was going to win the game. Carpenter answered the question correctly and became the show's first millionaire. His win gave him national recognition and led to multiple talk show appearances, as well as reappearances on Millionaire itself.

Career and family[edit]
Carpenter is from Northampton, Massachusetts. His father, Tom, worked as a computer program analyst for the Department of Veterans Affairs, while his mother, Gail, served as an administrative assistant for the Massachusetts Audubon Society.[3] In 1986, he enrolled at Rutgers University and graduated in 1990 with a degree in economics.[4] In January 1991, he joined the Internal Revenue Service after completing government exams and tests.[3] In November 1996, Carpenter met his future wife, Deborah, who was studying for a master's degree at Southern Connecticut State University and worked as a manager of a Fleet Bank branch in New Haven. They married in August 1998.[3] At the time of his appearance on Millionaire, he was 31 years old.[5] When he revealed his profession as an IRS officer on Millionaire, Carpenter was playfully booed by the audience.[6]
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire[edit]
$1 million (15 of 15) - no time limit
Which of these U.S. Presidents appeared on the television series "Laugh-In"?
• A: Lyndon Johnson • B: Richard Nixon
• C: Jimmy Carter • D: Gerald Ford
Carpenter was originally uninterested in Millionaire but eventually tuned in one night after dinner while having friends over at his house. When he found the show's higher-tier questions to not be, in his words, "any more difficult" than the lower-tier ones, he decided to call in to the show's hotline for a chance to become a contestant.[7] Carpenter answered all of the hotline questions correctly and was on the show within two days.[7]
Host Regis Philbin described Carpenter as having "cruised right through those first fourteen questions,"[7] he had proceeded to reach the final question without using any of his lifelines. The $1 million question was, "Which of these U.S. Presidents appeared on the television series 'Laugh-In'?", with the choices being A) Lyndon Johnson, B) Richard Nixon, C) Jimmy Carter, and D) Gerald Ford.[8] Carpenter used his Phone-A-Friend lifeline to call his father not for help, but rather to inform him that he knew the answer. Carpenter later explained, "I thought I'd look so cocky if I didn't use any lifelines, so I faked it."[8]
With his win, Carpenter became the first contestant in the worldwide Millionaire franchise to win the show's top prize.[9] He said that the only question that had flustered him was one which asked for the location of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Carpenter eventually remembered that the film Tombstone included the gunfight, and he replied correctly with the answer 'Tombstone, Arizona'.[4] While taking a vacation after his win, Carpenter considered quitting his job with the IRS, but eventually decided against it. He explained to Kiplinger's Personal Finance that "after the taxes, it's not change-your-life kind of money if you want to eat every day."[10] Carpenter also described the fame as having a bigger impact on his life than the money, later stating: "The money doesn't change your life. What happens afterwards might."[11]
Later work[edit]
Shortly after winning on Millionaire, Carpenter played himself in a Saturday Night Live skit.[11] Donald Trump, played by Darrell Hammond, announced that Carpenter would be his running-mate in the presidential election. Afterward, Carpenter pretended to call his father, then shouted, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" Carpenter also appeared on Good Morning America, Oprah Winfrey Show, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, and Late Show with David Letterman.[11][12]
Carpenter appeared as himself in the second half of the fourth season of Oz.[11] He plays a contestant in a fictional TV game show called Up Your Ante that the prisoners in Em City are watching. The show within the show is hosted by Gordon Elliott, with Eartha Kitt and Didi Conn appearing as celebrity participants.[13]
With Rod L. Evans, Carpenter co-authored a trivia book titled Matching Wits With the Million-Dollar Mind: The World's Hardest Trivia Quizzes From America's First Quiz Show Millionaire. The book was published by Berkley Books in 2002.[14]
Other game show appearances[edit]
In 2000, Carpenter appeared in the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Champions Edition, in which previous contestants who won $250,000–$1,000,000 played again, with half of their additional winnings from the Champions Edition going to a charity of their choice.[15] Carpenter won $250,000,[16] bringing his total Millionaire winnings to $1,250,000. In 2004, Carpenter participated in Super Millionaire, as one of the "Three Wise Men" on the episode during which Robert "Bob-O" Essig won $1,000,000.[17]
He later participated as part of the Mob on NBC's 1 vs. 100 on October 27, 2006,[18] and as a contestant on the Game Show Network game show Grand Slam.[19] Carpenter appeared on the August 16, 2009 episode of Millionaire in prime time for its tenth anniversary.[20] In the audience with him were his father, his wife, and his son.[21] Additionally, he was also the first expert in the "Ask the Expert" lifeline for the eighth season of the syndicated series.[22]
