The “new” Winnipeg Jets have unveiled their jerseys. Donning a circular logo with a CF-18 Hornet, the color combinations are that of white, a red Maple leaf and a darker and lighter blue. The darker “Polar Night Blue” is found on the current Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) airplanes while the lighter “Aviator Blue” is like the historical colors used by the RCAF.
Take a look, what do you think? Will they look sweet with the hockey pants?
Terrible jerseys. First of all the symbol looks like a target on their chest. Second you can’t put a maple leaf on your chest regardless of what color it is or if it looks dissimilar. Lastly I’m disappointed with the lack or creativity. The Whites look like Bluejackets with a different symbol and the blues (while a different shade) look like the classic Oilers jersey.
I’m not asking for an overhaul of what jerseys should look like. I understand they want to be the jets but that team’s history is in Phoenix right now. All historical records, stats, symbols belong to a different franchise. So they can’t go that way but using other teams styles is just as bad isn’t it? Blue and white are used by so many other teams its just a little disappointing. Do a variation of the Atlanta jersey or something completely different but not what they did.
