New Winnipeg Jets Jerseys

[epper]

Now is there really any reason to complain? everyone wanted the jets. they gave everyone the jets. everyone wanted traditional uniforms. they gave everyone traditional uniforms.

could they be better? sure. could they be improved upon? sure. but compared to what this franchise has worn since it's inception, these are a godsend.

This.

It says something that (and I'm generalizing), the long-time members are basically on board with the set, and the newer members are the ones telling us that they're crimes against humanity.

There are a small number of crossovers here of course, but I thought it was a point worth making.

i'm really convinced people are just complaining for the sake of complaining.

For years everyone complained about how ugly the thrashers uniforms were, and they really did look like ass. Now they relocate, come back as the jets and put out a classy traditional uniform devoid of black for blacks sake, ghost yokes, piping to no where, pit stains, bettman stripes, and includes hem stripes and striping that goes around. yet everyone complains.

let's examine:

They started out with this:

and my personal favorite:

now compare that to this:

I think you are on to something. As for me, I loved the Thrashers whole set, especially the flying Thrasher and the last blue jersey. Now, as far as Winnipeg, I love the jersey expect for the rings on the sleeves on the away set. Excellent job by the owners.

As a long-timer my critiques are minor. Overall I would give the set a B to B+ my only major gripe is the striping on the road. Its a solid set, its clearly not in the Calgary/Colorado/1st Edge Edmonton category for Edge disasters for sure.

These are great. The sleeve striping could be better, though.

Right. I'm just realizing I'd love more silver on the homes, and just duplicating the sleeve striping (and maybe the hem striping) of the roads would've done the trick.

[Jer15]

To me it's really simple.

remove the 2 stripes that go around the arms on the white jersey and you've got a very nice jersey.

Good grief, these uniforms are the biggest disaster involving hockey and Jets, EVER.

[Lee.]

Yale for the win.

Too soon man. Too soon.

[RedSox44]

Not bad. Needs more red instead of light blue. A bit too Maple Leaf-esque.

At least it's not the Lightings' new unis.

After a day to look at these uniforms I think that are good, but could be better. Although given the time frame and the fact that they couldn't make any other prototypes I think they did a good job. I really like how unique these jerseys are. I don't like the sleeve stripes on the road, and i wish either both jerseys had silver striping or neither, but they could be a lot worse.

I don't have a particular aesthetic and can appreciate a wide variety of jersey styles. However, I don't appreciate these. It's not that they aren't clean and elegant and refined; it's just that they're not really "there" at all. It's a logo and some stripes and some more stripes, none of which are all that interesting on their own. Put them together, and the jerseys may well be invisible. I look at it and don't really see anything.

[jr79]

I'm a sucker for twin shades of blue when it's done right, and this is done right. The striping cutting across the colour split on the sleeve is a little jarring on the whites, but I could get used to it.

Best part of the set is the name and number font. Modern, sleek, jet-like, yet still very readable and easy on they eye unlike many of the abominable new fonts you see.

Of course this

It's eery to see this posted just hours before the Locomotiv tragedy

[The_Admiral]

It wasn't

[Mongoose]

It wasn't

Oh, not to knock on yh, but I didn't think people would already be using such a terrible tragedy as a joke.

[Lee.]

It's yh. It's what he does.

And he does it well.

[les3couleurs]

Maybe going for something?

Good point, there is certainly a family thing going on there. I for one like them. Some say they're bland, I feel they are a good attempt at doing a modern sweater that looks classic. I'm surprised I like the white with the vertical and horizontal stripes meeting on the sleeves, but they work for me.

Also, I was not a fan of the logo before, but I think it looks good and pops out on the jersey.

I actually commented on them in a blurb in a Montreal newspaper where I'm interning.
