New Winnipeg Jets logos: Eh

The Winnigpeg Jets unveiled their new logos today, and so far the reaction has been well, mixed to say the least

SCOTT JACOBS

In 1996 the Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix and became the Coyotes.  In 2011 the Atlanta Thrashers left town after being bought by True North Sports and Entertainment and became the Jets. Complicating matters is that the Jets old history remains with Phoenix, while Atlanta’s grim lackluster presence gets to stay with the new Jets. Okay, now that we got that out of the way the Jets finally unveiled their new logos today.

I want to like them, I do.  But shove a maple leaf down my throat in a sport that has a number of Canadian teams already and I just don’t understand why they couldn’t have been a little more creative with this.  I’ll reserve jdgement until when the jerseys come out (September I’m hearing), but I’d give it a 6/10. It’s a hell of a lot better than the last sports franchise to relocate: The Oklahoma City Thunder.   But red, navy, and silver?  Again.  They couldn’t have tried a more unique color combo?

  1. Scott Jacobs, shutup. Logo is incredible. Go suck on a Jets soother :)

  2. Why do you like it Tim? Compared to other logos in the league it just lacks character in my opinion. I get the military theme but I think it could have been much better.
