Jets fans show true colors in bagels

A Brooklyn bagel factory is dishing out free bagels to honor the Jets, but there's a catch: They're green.

Bagel-loving Jets fans can pick up the green treats Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the renowned Bagels by Bell factory at 10013 Foster Ave. in Canarsie.

The bagels will be available from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

"I'm a Jets fan. My son's a Jets fan," said factory owner Warren Bell, who has season tickets. "We said, 'Hey, let's have some fun.'"

Bell insisted that the moss-colored bagels - thanks to food coloring - taste the same as regular ones.

He vowed to give away up to a million free bagels to his distributors, which deliver his handmade creations to supermarkets and delis in New York City and Long Island.

"To be honest, I'm not sure if they're really going to want them," Bell said. "A supermarket won't want to sell green bagels."

The bagels are free only at the factory - not at the stores.
