PHOTO: Jets player's jersey features backwards Nike 'swoosh'
Pop quiz: which Jets player pictured below has a backwards Nike "swoosh" on his jersey?

If you're like most people, you answered the player on the right. And you're wrong.
Nike policy stipulates the swoosh must always flow to the rear, as if blowing in the wind. Think of shoes -- the swoosh on both sides of a Nike shoe always points to the back.
Thus, the player on the left's jersey is the erroneous one.
The direction of Nike swooshes on the shoulders of NFL jerseys bothers a lot of fans, but it won't be changing anytime soon.
