Aaron Rodgers’ Awkward First Photo in Full Jets Uniform Led to Lots of Jokes
When an NFL star is traded to a new team, it often doesn’t feel like it’s actually “real” until the first photo in the team’s full uniform is unveiled. For Jets fans, Wednesday has to feel like a day worth celebrating as their offseason acquisition, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, feels completely real now.
The Jets dropped the first look at Rodgers in green and white, and while fans of the team were more than excited, it didn’t stop general NFL fans from making plenty of jokes.

Then the trolling reactions began to pour in at a rapid rate.
When your franchise is so desperate, that you're in utter disbelief that a 40 year old QB ,well past his prime, is actually on your team.

This legitimately reads like the Jets are roasting Rodgers for looking like a weirdo. Great stuff. https://t.co/rJqtKGNLkn

Yeah, but the uniform does look like it was generated by an algorithm without any sense of style. https://t.co/k6FNdbU5lb

And at least one Packers fan was honest about how painful it was to see this picture.
As a #GoPackGo fan, this may be the most depressing thing I see today. https://t.co/0tHY0qTzn3
