supposedly inspired by the royal air force
but come on, really?
could’ve updated the jet in this logo and maybe tweaked the font a littl

Turn that jetliner into a fighter jet, maybe darken the red and blues and throw some silver in there and that would be better than the new set

best thing would've been to use that new jet/leaf logo in place of the old jet in circle

Looks like they paid a highschool kid 50 bucks to do it

I agree not much style in that but whatever could of been much worse.

I like the one on the top right the best. The main logo looks like a really bad coin. Completely agree with Spector’s take as well as the high school kids throwing two images together with photo shop. The lower right one (Jets) is meh.

Love the captains bar logo, the jet in the maple leaf seems uninspired, and that other thing is just ugly

I know I'm one of the few that thinks this
but I really am not happy with the new team even being called the Jets.
Now they have to figure out if they want to use the old Jets’ retired numbers, they have to deal with “Jets tradition,” they have to likely honor the past teams, and now everything they release will be compared to the original Jets.
Hate to say it, but they aren’t the original Jets. This is a new franchise, they should have to have a new name.
Going along with that, why are the Islanders possibly going after Yashin? What’s with teams and their longing for the past lately?

I agree completely – I get it from a Winnipeg residents’ perspective, but this is not the same franchise – doesn’t work for me.
Beyond that, the new logo sucks.
True
I forgot to mention that, I get that the fans miss their team and want hockey back, but they could still have a team and call it the Winnipeg Walrus’ or something.

I… kind of like it. Like Joe Reiter I hate the font on the third image that 8k posted but otherwise I kind of dig it. The crossed sticks would go great as a shoulder patch. Hopefully the main logo will be used as a crest and will be on the front of the jersey and we won’t see that third image too much.
Not bad.

they need to change that word mark and maybe add something to the crest like Winnipeg or something in the circle

despite the comments on the inspiration it feels like it was done in a rush
especially that spelled out jets wording
like the old logo shows, the J lends itself to using a hockey stick motif and so much could’ve been done to play off that
the captains bars one….okay, not terrible
but the primary logo and the script….just ugh….

That's better
but I still don’t like how jets is squeezed in there

That logo inspires me to have a bowel movement
Then wipe with it. The locals won’t care, they are probably shit-housed on Molson XXX and making sweet love to their sweaty 200 pound wives/girlfriends while listening to 80’s music.
Let them have their day in the sun. The franchise will be back in the US or in Hamilton within 10 years.

does everything inspire a bowel movement?

I can’t say for sure whether it was the logo or the soy milk and apple slices I had before dinner, but I’ve got a blowout brewing. Predicting two matches and two baby wipes after this ones done.

Not blown away but could be a lot worse. I’ll be curious to see the whole uniform.
Anything new is guaranteed a certain amount of hate.

Hey, i don’t know about you guys but it just looks like they stole the Caps logo and replicated it Winnipeg style. Pretty weak, not only the main logo but the second one really looks bitten off the Caps. Also the first is pretty dumb. At least by having a spike at the end of the jet in white that is throwing off the circle, (which would be wise if this wasn’t hockey and that back splash couldn’t i dunno represent a puck). Where has all the creativity gone?
I can’t believe I’m one of the few here who actually like this logo. I think joining the jet and the leaf is creative.
Did you guys envision a logo similar to the old one? It was previously stated it would look dramatically different. Let’s stop with looking at logo concepts that tweak off the old logo. It’s a new team. Using “Jets” is fine, but allow them to do something different. It’s a good looking logo for a new team.
Haters got to hate, I guess. (I never say that either..)

-John Tortorella, before the Rangers 1-0 win over the Canucks.
as someone pointed out elsewhere
the design is wrong because it’s showcasing an f-16 which is not used by the canadian air force
ehhh after a night’s drinking and sleeping i think i’m taking the view mentioned above of seeing it on a jersey
i’m an admitted nostalgia whore so my preference is something with the old logo

F-16s aren’t used by the Canadian Royal Air Force. But these are.
And the logo looks exactly like that. Without the missles, which would have seemed excessive in my opinion.
I hate this. They would have been better going with something much simpler. Still mildly excited to see how the sweaters turn out but this is a bad start.
