Established in 1959, the New York Jets are one of the two football franchises based out of the New York Metropolitan area. The team was originally named the Titans of New York and competed in the American Football League. The team began to play in 1960 at the Polo Grounds. Under new ownership, the current name was adopted in 1963 and the franchise moved to Shea Stadium in 1964 and then to the Meadowlands Sports Complex in 1984.
When the Jets won Super Bowl III in 1969 by defeating the Baltimore Colts, they helped solidify the position of AFL teams in the football world. The New York Jets currently compete in the AFC East Division of the league. They last won a Divisional title in 2002 and have been in wavering form in the league since then. The New York Jets are valued at around $5.4 billion currently.
