Very true. I'm sure almost everyone will be thrilled with the final product. I just hope the jerseys aren't impossible to come by once they are released for sale. Same with the hats and tees, too, I guess. I love and will always wear my old Jets gear, but I can't wait to buy some of the new stuff. Where will be the best place to buy a custom name/number jersey? NHL.com? Or through True North directly at the MTS centre? Go to the overpass that gose from Portage Place to the Bay. There is a store there that will beat all prices $10 and you can pre order.

I can't wait until this logo is released. After this it should be smooth sailing -- just pure hockey talk. I'm going to be out of town watching the home opener, but more proud than ever to be from Winnipeg.

A guy on HF said the owner of uptown sports mentioned tomorrow (Thursday) as being the release date. Just a rumour, obviously.

None of the logos being posted are the real thing, so all we can do is speculate. Imagine someone trying to make a concept drawing of the Red Wings logo from a verbal description and without having seen it before. I bet the concept would look pretty silly even if it was close ("A red and white wheel with wings?"). But we all know how good the real thing looks. I have a feeling it'll be the same with the new Jets logo.

If I don't arrive, just wait longer.

nobody should expect to love it immediately... these things grow on a person as they become familiar with them.

I'm going to be out of town watching the home opener, but more proud than ever to be from Winnipeg. Haha, after that people will be talking about how the jersey will look like (apart from the already-released logo, of course). Honestly though, even on the Blue Bombers' forums, there's always talk about how "this jersey looks like", and how "they should do this in the stadium", and blablabla.... of course, ppl will be predominantly talking about pure hockey. However, it's inevitable that there will be SOME talk about other things as well (i.e., schedule, alternate jerseys, etc etc.).

A lot of Johnny-come-latelys on here lately. Where were they all before the announcement? I wish the mods would police this better so it's more enjoyable for the rest of us. I'm not saying newbies cant sign up but there is a respectful way to do it, a "message board" protocol so to speak.
There is no reason to attack anyone for claiming they have info. This board thrived on people claiming to have info and much of it was broken right here before the "real" media got wind of it.
It either is true or it isn't, we'll find out soon enough.

With all due respect to those who don't like the logo, enough is enough. I don't do this too often ... but for f'sakes, this is just getting rediculous. For 15 years, all we want is the NHL. Then, once we get the NHL, all we want is the team to be called the "Winnipeg Jets". Not the "Manitoba Jets", or "Winnipeg Falcons", but the Winnipeg Jets. We got the NHL. The team is called the Winnipeg Jets. The colour scheme will be "similar". Am I crazy about the new logo? Not crazy, but you know what? I'll live. However, I DO KNOW WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE WITH THE CONSTANT WHINNING. And if you choose to not buy a jersey, it really doesn't matter, the waiting list for the new jersey will be so long that you'll end up doing the rest of us a favour. I have two little boys at home, and "God shoot me now" if they ever grow up to be so whinny and thankless to the point where they can't see the blessings all around them. "The logo is too boring, I'll never buy one" ... get some freakin perspective Look we all have an Opinion on how Good the mock-up logo appears. Obviously beggars can't be choosers. Still, I can't help but think it's Underwhelming and Craptacular. Keep in mind the old Saying about opinions and @ssholes. Don't think for a second my Opinion of the "logo" Neutralizes my love for the team. Kicking some NHL butt will make Everyone forget that the logo makes us Yack. Be that as it may, friend, A better man than I might Laugh at posts that Lecture So ridiculously. My original post certainly wasn't meant to deter people from voicing their opinion. I think opinions are what make internet forums worth reading. I have no issues with people saying "I prefer they not use the maple leaf" ... or "it reminds of the leafs" ... those are all relevant to the discussion. The "baby" aspect is when people make such asinine statements such as "the logo is brutal" and then use their purchasing power as a threat "I'll NEVER buy that" ... it's just so schoolyard - "if I don't get my way I'm taking my ball and going home" ... although nobody ever seems to say anything, secretely, 99% of society hate these people, yet these "divas" live in oblivious bliss that somehow their lame threats have an impact on anyone.

A guy on HF said the owner of uptown sports mentioned tomorrow (Thursday) as being the release date. Just a rumour, obviously. That guy was me ;D...Wolf357 on the HFboards. I was talking to the owner who said that his distributer said that he was told that they would be releasing the logo tommorow (Thursday) or Friday. He also said that he has ordered $20,000.00 in merchandise and is expecting delivery within 48 hours of the anouncement. Apparantly all Merchandise (excluding the Jersey) is made locally and it would not take long at all for delivery.. Seemed Very Confident that he would have the Jets 2.0 Merchandise for sale in his store by early next week. By the way first time in Uptown Sports and was very impressed. Very freindly staff and great selection of stuff...Blew River City out of the watter IMHO.
