manitoubass2 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I actually like the new look. I would have strongly preferred the original over anything, but with business in mind, it wouldn't make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I don't mind the new uni.. They could have done a better job though I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 A good simple design, like the originals. Sure beats the Wild's jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familyfisherman Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 It is simple...but rather boring. They also paid $1m to the air force didn't they to have the logo? I like the idea of giving money to the airforce, but it hardly seems necessary to have a boring logo...? Most hockey fans won't even get the connection between the Jets and having the Air Force located there... Overall the reaction has been negative from what I've heard...I agree with the majority...boring... I'd have gone with the original logo and just changed the colours up a bit to sell more jerseys... M 2 cents anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Up until now I didn't know what it took to be a hockey fan. Now I know. You need a critical eye for men's apparel, colour and be acutely aware of fashion. Who cares how they play, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
206 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) I'm hoping for their 3rd jersey to be a Retro Jets uni Edited September 6, 2011 by 206 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 would it be better if they had a bit of nascar on the shirt <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view¤t=yy-4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/yy-4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhousesoccer Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Here's what someone posted in the comment section of a CBC online article announcing the new logo. It's their opinion, not mine, but I thought this person brought up some interesting points .... QUOTE It's a terrible logo and an even worse uniform. 1. There is something seriously wrong when a hockey logo has nothing to do with hockey. 2. It is a stretch to try to link this to 17 Wing. There are no jets there. 3. The old Jets logo had a commercial jet – not a military one. So this link to the team's tradition and the military is phoney and forced. 4. There is something seriously wrong with marketing a weapon of mass destruction to people who will be buying these for their CHILDREN to wear. And something seriously wrong with parents who will buy them. 5. The logo looks almost exactly like the RCAF roundel. That's not only unoriginal – it's plagiarism. 6. The logo itself has no obvious relation to the city of Winnipeg. There is nothing unique about using a jet; there are other cities and towns in Canada with military bases that actually have jets on them. 7. The name Winnipeg Jets began with the signing of The Golden Jet, Bobby Hull. Not a military jet. 8. The sweaters themselves are very dull; as many have pointed out, the sleeve stripes are very awkward-looking. The two colours of blue are both very dull and lifeless, giving the overall impression of a monotone colour palette. Where is the flash of red aside from the maple leaf in the logo? The saving grace is that the 'new/old' retro sweaters will probably be out next year. These ones here will fall by the wayside when fans have a choice between the two. Sorry, but it's true.

blaque Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I like the look. And i also welcome another canadian team back into the league. Hopefully there are more to come. If the guy posting on the article above is a resident of Winnipeg.......my response is this: You were just given the gift of Hockey back into your town, something that probably ripped your heart out when they were taken from you. You now have that back, and you feel the first thing at hand should be to post an 8 point complaint list lol. Really?.........REALLY!?!?!? If i were in that position i wouldnt care if my guys were dressed in Pink Tutus!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 i'm personally not a fan. i see no reason to militarize a hockey logo, in essence, thus politicizing a hockey logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 1. There is something seriously wrong when a hockey logo has nothing to do with hockey. HAHAHA Yeah, not like a coyote, a bruin, a leaf, a wing, a flame etc etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhousesoccer Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) HAHAHA Yeah, not like a coyote, a bruin, a leaf, a wing, a flame etc etc... I didn't say ALL his points were valid . Here's the link to the CBC story. His comments (and over 300 others) are below the article. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2011/09/06/mb-nhl-jets-jerseys-.html And I agree with you, Blaque. It's awesome to finally have a 7th NHL team back in Canada. Here's hoping the Nordiques make it 8!!

manitoubass2 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Seems to me that people in general just love to "over think" certain topics. I'm just stoked Winni has a team again, football is about to start, hockey is coming soon, fall walleye run etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktail Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 4.

Cheers to the return of the nordiques! Maybe even other cities like Montreal or even Ottawa could make a return to the league eventually as well?

The name Winnipeg Jets began with the signing of The Golden Jet, Bobby Hull. Not a military jet. END QUOTE Just a couple of corrections. #5. - Permission was obtained beforehand and the logo is used with the blessing of the Canadian Forces. #6.- Named after Benny Hatskin's favourite football team - NY Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
