So... When do we get new jerseys?

[Weezeric]

Lets not forget all of those teal sharks we see on tv during shark week!

Oh.

^ where sharks live

you're putting way, way too much thought into this.

 

[The Blue Baron]

UGLY. Couldn’t pay me to get one.

 

[Buffdog]

Do people really think those red jerseys look good? Looks like a red velvet hockey jersey

The grey ones are ok. I would have to see them on the ice first though.

Red velour... like a mob boss's tracksuit.

Ties in both the RED and the TRACKSUIT parts of our history

I like how you think

Hey, if someone paid me enough, of course I would get one. If someone paid me even more, I would wear the damn thing. My momma didn't raise no fool.

Ah Nobody you kill me sometimes. You really do.

Should of had "Winnipeg" written down the sleeve.

Your username makes sense

It's better than the aviator for sure. At least the logo is good.

Give it up already. You've been raging about jerseys for 9 years now, and I've lost count of how many threads you've started about it and how many times you've claimed your opinion is universal. They've released 3 jerseys now with your precious 80's logo. Do you even own any of these? I suggest you buy all three of them, wear them at home, and admire yourself in the mirror while running archive footage in the background. Peace out. :p

WTF does opine mean? Just kidding i googled it.

or yeah, what you googled probably applies too.

Are you saying your momma raised someone else instead of you?

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

I'll let one of the great 80's hair bands respond to that...

This thread just shows how subjective taste is. FWIW I listen to a hockey podcast by two guys in California who are obviously unbiased. They both ranked the Jets jersey as one of the better ones. Top 3 jersey.

Ours are so ugly and drab. Why? Because everything is too dark. If you're gonna go with a dark grey, you need a lighter colour to balance. So if your blue is gonna be darker, you gotta go more with a light silver. And if you're gonna choose a dark, greenish grey as the primary 'colour', then the blue has to be lighter. Or use white accent. And a splash of red. Instead it's dark blue with dark grey. The logo doesn't stand out like it should. Nothing does. It's just dark, and boring, and depressing. Ugh. I'm not a huge fan of the aviators but at least they have a brighter colour and a little panache.

Sounds like a perfect representation for 2020....

 

[jetsforever]

With red as an accent color.

I'm not a big fan of this one, looks too much like those Carolina alternates

This one would not be bad with the aviator blue as the main colour, or even that lighter grey. The red accents help, a lot.

I think that is an outlier opinion. The Athletic did a power ranking of all the Retro Reverse jerseys and the Jets tied for 26th (with Philly and Anaheim) with an average score of 4.3 out of 10. Only the Stars, Wings and Isles finished lower.

"More than a quarter of our panelists gave this a 1...Gray is an awful primary color and putting a bad logo on it doesn’t help."

Grey IS an awful primary colour for a jersey. The old pie-plate logo was not good. Nostalgia clouds many people's judgement about it, but make no mistake: if anyone proposed that as a new logo today they'd be laughed out of the...uh...logo factory. Taking the red out only hurts.

It's like looking at an earlier jersey on an old console TV where someone has gone and messed with the Tint knob.

I'm waiting to see it on ice. Toronto and Montreal have gone blue this year, so we would have been overkill. Ottawa stays red, Calgary goes black. Vancouver goes green. I mean for retro we could have gone yellow for the Winnipeg Falcons, but that's too retro, and not very distinguishable from other yellow teams. Jets blue/red/white were knockoffs of the Rangers, so maybe more red would have been different, but I am not sure Winnipeg is a red team. Blue and gold would have been different. But gold in the NHL is the Knights territory. Unfortunately our grey looks a lot like theirs. This isn't my favourite jersey by any means, I think last year's heritage was a classic, with the darker blue, but I don't hate it either. I hope there is a Hawerchuk patch on it. Bringing back this one too would be a good cause.

 

[jetsforever]

I still think it's a decent design but maybe not best for a jersey
It really will come down to how it looks on the ice, looking forward to seeing that

That is spot on! You described it perfectly. I can visualize exactly what you're implying. The grey is a horribly drab primary colour. I can't believe they actually chose this.
