kiwi_canadian Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Well these Winnipeg Jets rumors just don't seem to want to die out. As was being discussed in the other thread about next season's NHL changes, Ice_Cap gave me an idea of what the Jets should look like if they return to the NHL. So by his suggestion, I took the 1979-1990 Jets jersey and put their 1991-1996 crest on the front, then "Edged" it. I also through in a 3rd for good measure. I went with a throwback to the 1979 jersey in which they won the last Avco World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianVlietDesign Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 You know, I could definitely see a second incarnation of the Jets wearing these. I hope one day Winnipeg gets another team. It was such a shame what happened to that franchise. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 You didn't properly EDGE-ify it: there's no pointless apron piping like on the Avalanche and Oilers jerseys. Other than that though, this looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'd buy it.And thats the most important part of a jersey.I really love the white jersey it really has a "crispness" to it.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 We're what? almost 15 years removed from the move to the desert, and that logo still looks perfectly suitable for NHL use! Won't surprise me a bit if Winnipeg gets their team back, that they somehow muck it up by making unnecessary changes or "improvements". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Glad I could inspire someone. The home and road look great. Even though it's a mix-and-match with two old designs it would fit right in with today's NHL (and be one of the better looking uniforms as well). Like charger, I would definitely buy one. The one thing I'm not feeling, though, is the alternate. It has a little to much of an Oilers vibe, which is something a Winnipeg team would look to avoid.

charger77 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Also, there should only be one Goals for Kids patch on each jersey.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMW79 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 These are pretty snazzy! I agree completely with Ice_Cap: Home/Road are very cool; Alt isn't my thing. I hope the Jets fly back into Winnipeg, and would love to see more Canadian teams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Pretty much agree with all that Ice Cap has to say. the mix and match is not a problem because you took the better logo and the better jersey. And I agree about the Oiler-ness of the ALT. Further, (and plenty of teams are guilty of this), I'd rather not see a different logo like that on any jersey. I'd rather teams pick one identity. However, what you done, once you remove the "Oilerness" is in line with what a new Winnipeg Jets would do.The primaries are beautiful and if I was into buying expensive jerseys, I'd get one too. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Has2916 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I like the alternate. Only as an alternate though. If the Jets were to ever come back I would like to see a completely new design for the home and road jerseys. I agree with all above about that logo though, it's still great.

kiwi_canadian Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Merci for the comments. I have to respectfully disagree with all of the comments about the alternate. I do agree that it does look Oilers-ish, however, what I was going for was a throw back jersey (Edged) of the 1979 Avco World Cup winners, the last winners of that cup actually. So like I said, I agree with the Oilers look, but it's what the jersey looked like back in 1979. Anyways, the quick update with one "Goals for Kids" patch instead of the 2.Here's the 1979 uniforms for reference:(from whauniforms.com or course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Personally, I don't think its Oilerish at all. When I first saw the 3rd I only thought of that WHAera jersey that you posted. I'd be happy if Phoenix wore that jersey as a one time deal kinda like the "Christmas" Devils jersey.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthStar74 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 OH man these jerseys are really crisp and very nicely done!!!! However I would suggest for that dark jersey the home one jersey where the Jets crest is, put a thin outline around that logo to somehow offset the clash on the blue side of the jersey, if ya know what I mean by that... that would be ideal and I would snap that jersey up in a hurry if it ever was the real one!! Really nice work of these jerseys, man...

kiwi_canadian Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Okay, added the white outline on the home. I apologize if it looks a wee bit sloppy. As I am a paint user, it was hard but I think it cleaned up nice. I must agree, the white outline does make the logo stand out a lot more on the dark jersey.

kiwi_canadian Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 haha I can see that it doesn't show up that well on here. Damn. Oh well, I did add the outline and it does look good on my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregmond Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Nice concept. Very sharp, very clean and such simple colours working so well.I too would love to see a team back in Winnipeg ... but is it at all likely? We don't see all of the gossip here in Australia, but it seems like a long-shot right? Thanks to Gobbi for the awesome buttons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't see all of the gossip here in Australia, but it seems like a long-shot right?Well the NHL's handpicked ownership group to buy the Coyotes doesn't have any actual money, and no other "committed to Phoenix" owners exist at the present time. Meanwhile someone who does have money, David Thomson, owner of CTV, is manoeuvring to buy the team and move them back to Winnipeg. So it's not that much of a long-shot. http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=72554&st=0 PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi_canadian Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 That and in the article that I did read on The Hockey news website did say that the NHL has Thomson lined up as the backup if this Ice Edge group does (and will most likely) fall through. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it's not an "if" matter anymore but a "when" and from what was said in the article, it could happen as early as next season.

scootrdice Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 What I find really interesting is that I myself live here in Phoenix. And there is nothing mentioned except for IceEdge buying the Coyotes. All the article's that everyone ever talks about are from Canada. Only rumors I hear are from all of you from Canada or big time hockey fans. Nothing is ever written here in Phoenix or anywhere in a American article's....... So, from someone who lives here in Az, the Coyotes are here to stay. Even the City of Glendale is going to rework the lease to make it possible for IceEdge to buy the Coyotes with a agreement that is long term......... For my own sake, I hope its all rumors, but from what I do read on this site. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Would I be pissed if they moved, YES...... But it would not surprise me.By the way, these are some great uni's you have drawn up.... I would love to see the Yote's do a retro night with these. Keep up the good work.
