Speculation: Winnipeg Jets to get 3rd Jersey next season - with a new logo

[Hobble]

Hopefully when this plain Jane Jersey walked into the arena, takes off her glasses and drops her hair, we see that she's actually the hottest jersey in the league.


But probably not.

A Jets jersey I don't immediately want to go out and buy. Will stick with my HC Scheifele.

How does this jersey not differentiate the two Jets pro sports teams?
This is a blue hockey jersey, not a green football jersey.

[EpicGingy]

I am whelmed.

Guess I'm just getting a normal home Ehlers jersey.

 

[Spock]

What?

That's a T-shirt

 

[Whileee]

We should wear brown leather skates and gloves with these unigforms....It will look like my old table top hockey players when I was a kid

Well, they are both blue with white...

Just pretend to look surprised at the unveiling.

Even though it's not a big issue as some posters have already said, it would of been nice if the jersey/logo said something about either Winnipeg, True North or Hockey. These feelings would of course been mitigated if they designed it even a tad more stylized than it is.

It's a hockey jersey....

The only NHL team called the Jets is from Winnipeg...

Who needs the owners referenced on the jersey (imagine Melnyk showing up on the Sens alternate jersey )?

They might have done something a bit more with the stripes, I suppose, but I think the visual impact on the ice and on TV is going to be good.

yes, because every American out there walks around knowing that one's wearing a hockey jersey and not random paraphernalia.

and shall we talk about these?

Unlike the Heritage Classic jerseys, the new thirds are not getting much positive comments on the main boards (National Hockey League Talk). We once ranked #1 in The Hockey News magazine for our thirds with these.......

I will be honest, the "we are True North" is kind of annoying.

Should have just stuck with "We are Winnipeg".

We get it you love the HCs you were never going to like anything that wasn't them.

Why torture yourself?

 

[Kamo]

In my opinion, I think there pretty bad. There's nothing there. It's way too plain. The logo isn't creative at all, it's just Jets. I've just never liked when jerseys have had the name of their team or city across the chest. Also not a fan of the blue it seems dated.

Oh well I just won't get this jersey.

 

[Nordiques1979]

Awful, and don't expect anyone overseas to buy this, any fan of hockey know the Jets logo, not this American soccer based logo...

 

[Duke749]

Not surprised. They patterned the J after your ears.

I'm not disagreeing with most of what you said. Its just that it would of been nice if there was a little more imagination to the design thats all. The old Hartford Whalers Jersey is a good example of a relatively clean, unbusy jersey but with some cleverness to it. I feel like I could of designed the concept of this jersey. I dont think I would ever come up with the original Hartford design in comparison.

 

[Olsen]

Godawful... what were they thinking?!?

What are you talking about?
Are you worried that people are going to think that these new uniforms of ours are New York Jets under the table knock offs?

Those looked great, partly because of the red pants. I have one and like it.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

Don't hate it but don't love it, I'm somewhere in the middle right now. I'll wait and see what the names/numbers look like and what it looks like on a player. I tend to crap on new jerseys, and then I see them on the ice on a player and my opinion changes.

It sucks that the (what looks to be) women's jersey got leaked the day before they're showing them off. Maybe they'll look better in person tomorrow.

While you are correct that I love the HCs, the new thirds aren't too bad. I just don't think that TNSE can expect these to sell as well as the HC jerseys if that's what they were hoping. I could be wrong about that since our fans love the Jets and may buy them anyway. However, I still think they had a hit with the HC jerseys and for some reason didn't run with it. You could tell by the positive feedback from others outside of Winnipeg that they looked good whereas the reaction to our new thirds is less than positive and moreso just indifferent.

 

[Steenager]

Anyone notice that the jersey's template (striping/collar) is the 1990s Jets template?

I really hope they go with simple borderless name/numbering like the team had back then.

 

[Duke749]

Sorry but that Blue doesn’t say “Winnipeg Jets” to me at all. It’s better as an accent color.

 

[Fishy]

Damn,

I guess the team will have to relocate, then?

I hate our primaries. I tried to love them but especially the whites are gross. Our new logo is ugly. The first wordmark looks like a teenager on pot drew it. The stripes going up and down the arm are ridiculous. I didn't buy it (someone gave me one) but somehow, it managed to sell very well.

This third will sell very well, too. People will fall in love with it, it represents our team. Even those who don't will buy it because they realize that's how the Jets will survive and thrive.

Ok, over-reaction, but very disappointed. If someone buys me one I may wear it!

I donate plenty to the Jets buying $10 beers.

Very underwhelming. So much more they could have done with this imho
