There are some players that go above and beyond the call and become heroes to the fans of their team. These players may excel because of their talent, their sense of dedication, their positive attitude, or their work ethic. A franchise and its fans are lucky to get a player that sets himself apart from the run of the mill athlete and they should be respected and honored as such. It is a tradition in sports to retire the jersey number of a player that has meant a great deal to a franchise or city. This can be either because of their leadership and commitment, their statistical dominance or on field performance or any other reason too.

The New York Giants came into the NFL in 1925 and in that time have won multiple championships and a lot of big games. Part of the reason they have been able to do so is because of the great players they have had on the team. Some of these great players have been so loved by the team and its fans that they have gone on to have their jersey number retired by the Giants.

The current New York Jets which were originally named the New York Titans began in 1960 and played their games in New York. There were several changes in ownership and, at the present time they are owned by Robert Wood Johnson IV. They are members of the AFC in the NFC and their regular training facility is located in New Jersey. Their fans, both in both areas enjoy wearing New York Jets jerseys.
