Actually I much prefer the new ones, in fact I think their fantastic; suspending the licensing for production of the old versions pretty astute... Interestingly, I have read some opinions in cyber-space with respect to Winnipeg replacing a passenger carrier ("Bringing the World to Winnipeg; Winnipeg to the World") with an in-use military fighter jet, bringing up the negative associations between "militarism, sloganism & sport".
Winnipeg is one of only 4 teams Worldwide (pro & major junior, minor leagues etc) to feature as their central logo a piece of hardware whose sole purpose is to kill people. The Abbotsford Pilots of the BCJHL also features a CF-18, however, theres an over-lay of a puck. The other 2 North American teams sporting weapons are the Huntsville Flight of the NBA & the Houston Colt .45's; while elsewhere, the Mozambique FC sports crossed AK47's on their crest; FC Arsenal an antiquated Cannon as is the case with the NHL's Blue Jackets shoulder patches'.
Now, before anyone goes nuts on me, I totally reject these opinions, they are not mine. I have no problem with teams using Winchesters, Glocks, whatever the Hell turns their cranks because quite frankly their is both beauty & art in all kinds of weaponry, yes including messaging but so what, has the World gone Crazy with PC?. I personally believe our military history & contemporaries should be honored. In fact some people who love the Jets new logo are only disappointed in that they shouldve used the Canadian built CF-105 Avro Arrow instead of the CF-15 to make it truly Canadian, eh...
But here, check this one out; the IOC under Rule 51 told Team USA Goalie Jonathan Quick at last years Winter Olympics in Vancouver to remove the "Support Our Troops" message from his mask!. Incredible. There wouldnt be any of your precious Olympics if not for the US Military (along w/Canada & the rest of the Commonwealth etc) because we'd all be speaking German, Japanese & Arabic, and I can assure you you wouldnt want to be playing the "games" they'd be wanting us to play for their amusement... but I digress. Yet again.
