So it seems that True North listened to what fans wanted and respected the hockey heritage of the Jets. Kudos! I can't tell them how happy I am.
Now we seem to have a new trend with people and media saying "well it was to be new colors and/or a new logo"
Why? Edmonton just went back to their old vintage. No one is afraid they will not sell the new ones because people will just bust out their old jerseys from the closet.
Montreal has had the same jersey design for decades, and it sells because it's timeless and classic.
Just because people MAY have old Jets merch doesn't mean they wont buy the new stuff. This argument holds no water and makes no sense. On the other hand, if you look at a fanbase like Vancouver.. their crowd looks like a rainbow of ridiculous color clashing. Is that what we really want? Half the arena wearing one color, the other half another?
Jets vintage gear sells now, and new Jets gear with the same basic logo concept and same colors will FLY off the shelf.
Keep the basic logo concept and keep the red white and blue. And keep it simple. There's a clear and good trend in the NHL (tampa, florida, edmonton) to simplifying and going retro when possible.

Let TN do what they want with the colors and logo. I was definitely one who thought they should give us the name we want, but at this point.. They've given us everything. We need to let them take the reins and appreciate how much they've given us. What's next after you demand same colors? Same logo? Pee trough in the mens washrooms? Let Chipman have a little fun with the creation of his team. He deserves it.

Chipman said it will be a completely different logo and jersey...and I'm ok with that. They'll come up with something impressive - I have no doubt.

I have to say, I really don't care what they do with the logo/colours.
I always loved the red and blue and of course white colour schemes. I sincerely thought the Jets have always had sharp jerseys.
But I can also see the point that there are a lot of red/blue teams, and maybe brown or grey or something distinctive could work. Either way I don't care really... I just know the new jerseys are gonna blow my mind!
And soon I'll know what colour paint to buy to make a sports JETS themed basement!

Oh lord...
You have the name. Be happy.
There's six teams in the league that are red, white and blue. Is just a LITTLE originality too much to ask for?

Just give it a rest we got the name we got "Winnipeg" instead of Manitoba we have a team we should stop with the demands and let them do what they want now.

Good god, can we give this retro thing a rest? We are elated the Jets are back, now let the marketing professionals at TN do their job.

We have the name, that's all we've ever wanted isn't it? I don't want a carbon copy team, this isn't 1996. We have the Jets, now let Chipman and company create their own logo and use whatever colours they like.

Let Chipman have a little fun with the creation of his team. He deserves it. I agree except for the trough part... we seriously NEED the trough! Have you waited to get in the bathroom in the MTS Centre? The trough is just the model of efficiency! But yes they can do what they wish with the jerseys... I know they'll be great though, because now I can truly say that TRUE NORTH CAN DO NO WRONG!!!

I wouldn't mind a "reebok-revamped" 90's jersey of the Jets, maybe change the colours to blue and gold and white....
But I totally understand their desire of a new logo/jersey. I cared mostly about the name of the team...

I want a new logo, a new look, even new colors.
This is the NEW Winnipeg Jets. It should stand on it's own.

I just wanna say let's not jump down theonlywhiteout's (TOW) throat for this though everyone...
I think the majority wanted Jets, and the majority think TNSE should do up a new logo. But people are still entitled to their opinions, it doesn't mean TOW isn't thankful, just throwing his opinion out there cuz this is a CHAT BOARD after all!
But I honestly feel like TNSE can do no wrong! Can't wait to grab me a new jersey... then spend WAY too much on other stuff! Thank god my birthday is in October... by the end of that and Christmas I should have a ton of Jets 2.0 stuff to add to my original Jets collection!

New colors, new logo sounds great to me. Can't wait to buy one (or three...one Men's, one Women's and one Infant sized, please).

I don't understand why people wouldn't want new colors and a new logo... and then the old colors and logo could be used as a throwback. Every other team has at least a home / away / throwback.
