Winnipeg Jets concepts (final answer? 8/22)

The Jets current unis have run their course i feel, and along with the roster the uniform is in need of a changeup. Aviator blue is promoted to the primary color and the uniforms are an update of the original (NHL) Jets, which proved popular with the reverse retros this past year (duh). I struggled with the promotion of aviator blue since my ideal alternate is also aviator, so to keep a navy uniform i gave the jets a "stealth" uniform, since you know, stealth jets make more sense than stealth sharks.  Bonus jersey is a navy version of the home for consideration.

Something just didn’t give me that “this is it” feeling, particularly on the road jersey, so I started again. I’m torn with promoting the Aviator Blue and keeping the navy as aviator on navy pops more to me. I went back to a previous concept based on the work by Steven Grant and made a couple changes. The aviator is still emphasized and balanced I think. Tried the little-used treatment on the logo with the strokes as opposed to the single color as in previous one in this thread and the other. Which logo option is better?

Just stringing out some options. I made an RCAF style fauxback with this  (different logos and font) but got to wondering if it could work as a home/road set. Thoughts?  Aviator promoted, contrasting nameplate to take the place of the upper torso stripe on the back, modern logos and font, striping is sort of blended modern/throwback style.

Here's a new update. I know I said Aviator should be the primary, but I just found myself gravitating to this as a set.  Much cleaner without the silver. Home and Road call back to Jets 1.0, with new branding. Alt is an RCAF theme.

I never realized how gorgeous the Jets wordmark is when it's coloured in navy. Not sure if I would love this as a full set, but individually these are gorgeous. Would love to see them do a RCAF alt in the style you did here. :D

I can understand that. I love the script logo, maybe it could be gussied up a little but i think it's great. To give a sense of how it might work I have it in my NHL04 game, which i ran through pretty much all of the versions in this thread and what helped me get to these.

just playing around with the Jets some more. I started down this road because i really like the AHL Springfield Thunderbirds alternate, and in playing with that design i figured it suits the Jets as a tweaking of their current set. Anyways, i struggled with the white having the same striping arrangement, so instead tried this where it's a direct connection with the home version. Honestly i like the Navy and Aviator versions the most, so deciding which would be the best Home jersey and then trying to match a white one is where i'm struggling. Thoughts?

OK, i think i settled on the road jersey, now i'm trying to figure out the logos. Do i want to stick with script or keep the roundel? And at that which versions? Single color script vs. multi, aviator roundel vs. navy?
