Ricky_Roby Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well, that lends further credence to the idea that they will be the Jets, and this was a last minute call, since there should normally have been enough lead time that Winnipeg would have a team next season just from what we've heard about Phoenix and Atlanta.Or they could have all the Manitoba Moose stuff designs ready to go...Plus, the Newfoundland AHL team will become Winnipeg's farm team, and they have said that they will keep the Moose colours, which leads me to believe True North is ready with a bunch of Manitoba Moose jerseys for the new team.

Drakonius26 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 The NHL indeed is selling Jets stuff.Illegalcurve.comis also giving a lot of shrift this morning to what I believe is our own Davidson's and Gordie's Jets proposal.More on this in the Winnipeg Free Press. Apparently Chipman made a call on Davdison's design. Winnipeg Free PressI pray they do not go with this logo if they are called the Jets, way too much going on, and Canada already has a team with a maple leaf as the base of their logo, and identity....Those numbers are horrible. Looks hokey and round. Different, but just...no. I love Davidson's work, but this doesn't fit, at least IMHOYeah, I like most of Davidson's work, but I'm not crazy about the jerseys in particular and apparently, judging from the comments of people who will actually buy merchandise, they don't like it either.

dgnmrwrw Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I also respect Fraser Davidson and his work. But those logos and uniforms aren't very good for a "Winnipeg Jets" professional hockey club. They simply aren't up to NHL standards. The emphasis on the maple leaf doesn't make sense for a club based in a city in Manitoba (i.e., the maple leaf cannot be used as a default symbol for every single Canadian team, just because they are in Canada), and the jets aren't rendered clearly enough or featured prominently enough. It's a very nice design piece, but not a suitable solution to the problem. HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The child doesn't HAVE to look like the parent. It could be they ordered the Moose jerseys for either an AHL continuation or for other reasons and decided it would be easier to pull the logo and reuse the jerseys rather than just eating the loss.

If Winnipeg is red and blue, so is St John's. If Winnipeg is brown and gold (as some insider reports are saying) then so is St John's.

TheOldRoman Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hmm, that seems like a not so subtle hint the team will be named Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 No, that's what was stated in the interview. Whatever the PARENT club is going to wear for colors (and likely jersey design, so let's head that off at the pass), the farm team will wear.

If Winnipeg is red and blue, so is St John's. If Winnipeg is brown and gold (as some insider reports are saying) then so is St John's.Brown and gold, that sounds horrible. I could see a compromise of Blue from the Jets and the Gold from the Moose, to make it something of a compromise and nod to the history of hockey in Winnipeg during and after the Jets. However, the color combination sounds hideous and almost like the Thrashers, minus the maroon and blue(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YELDARBfield Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 If Nashville goes white, navy, and light blue, all is lost. How many teams do we need to have navy in the league, honestly?All indications are that the Preds will be staying with navy, gold, and white. Rumor is the home jersey will be gold next season.

hockey week Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Looks waaaaaaaaaay too Columbus Blue Jackety.How...? Other than sharing the colours, I don't see the similarities...Honestly, I thought the same thing. Not current jackets, but the old blues with the red cuffs. It's not really a concrete thing, rather it just pops into your head. It really only works on the blue jerseys though. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.
