[Mortimer Snerd]

I threw together this concept just now:

I like that even better than the one above it.

Noble attempt but the white logo has to die

Why?

 

[HannuJ]

Why?

a few reasons.
the "reverse" logo wasn't used in the WHA. it was always dark on dark. i'm not a stickler for tradition. just stating the history.
the dark logo has a kitschy look that is back in style because of the vintage design and the colour scheme used. the inverse logo just looks awkward. doesn't have the colour blast ti give it the 21st century appeal.
toss the inverse logo on a dark jersey and it doesn't integrate well. it stands out, but not in a good way. similar reason why i don't love the dark logo on a dark jersey. it needs a VERY thin white outline on the outside to make it pop slightly. key word: slightly.
final reason: Winnipeg Jets. Current logo. Word logo on our third jersey. Heritage classic logo. now we want to introduce a 4th logo?

So the Flames people are seeing this as a "home" game for them, are they? Want Mosaic to become a C of Red? OK. All the Jets need to do is trot out a HC jersey in Rider Green and the House is theirs. Something like this practice jersey perhaps.

Well that's a hard yes from me pal. I mean obviously you want to pay homage to the best CFL team there is.

They went with version 1 of the roundel logo on white for Heritage Classic 1.

I think they'll go with version 2 of the roundel on dark for Heritage Classic 2.

Fair enough.

To me, the white outline doesn't do enough to solve the muddled blob logo with dark on dark. The puck with Jet gets lost already on the white (it is my favourite Jets logo BTW).

I would drop the word mark jersey, use that colour another way down the road.Technically we already use 4 logos, because the word mark logo is our helmet logo just white.

I want them to do the HC home version in the hope we go back to them full time (they won't) but I have a feeling they will be Hawerchuk or Selanne blues.

Hope it. Nothing redeeming about the 90s logo

 

[Cellee]

I think it will be this to push the old rivalry.

 

[HannuJ]

Just put some white around that logo and we're f'ing rocking. people agree?
@Guardian17 ,hope you don't mind

 

[HannuJ]

Final adjustment. Shrunk the logo by about 15%. i dig it.

 

[Cellee]

Winnipeg has no WHA history with Calgary.

Can't see it happening.

Also the shoulder patches gotta go.

The fuq is that?

It's like the Black Hawks, Detroit, and a cowboy had a three way.

Calgary Cowboys. next to the Toronto Toros, New York Raiders, New York Golden Blades (lol)/Jersey Knights and Cleveland Crusaders (look them up), it was one of the worst hockey logos made in the golden age of hockey logos.
the WHA gave birth to the following amazing logos:
Minnesota Fighting Saints
Wpg Jets
Edmonton Oilers
Indianapolis Racers
Quebec Nordiques
Phoenix Roadrunners

It's not my design, I just found it on the web.

Looks good!

Makes more sense for them to go with something based on the 79-90 Jersey as that's when we had a real rivalry with Calgary (85, 86 and 87 playoffs). The 90s logo and jersey associated more with having a rivalry with Vancouver.

It's hard to believe there were so many terrible fonts and clip art available back then!

However, Jersey Knights did a nice job of capturing the crossover chess / hockey fans...

There will be!

Did the jets actually announce that they’ll have a new jersey for the heritage classic? I just assumed they were going to use the same one that we already have.

No announcement but given they are the home team it is conceivable they wear darks. Being a heritage game though who knows what the NHL will decide.
