I hate it and wish that they would one day come to their senses and use this logo.  Sweet Jeezus, nooooooo. I prefer the direction True North took. |

Opinions vary but you're flat out wrong. The new logo is ten times better than the above logo made by a fan.

It's easily the best logo in Jets history. Smashing "Winnipeg" and "Jets" into a circle was awkward. This logo needs no text and nothing has to be spelled out. Someone here argued the old Jets had poor marketing, and I agree. The new Jets have already made a more striking presence. +1 The older Jets logos were quite generic. If you verbally described either of the old Jets logos, the original Lightning logo and the NY Islanders logo to someone who's never seen them before, they all sound identical. The Washington Capitals, Buffalo Sabres and old KC Scouts logos followed a similar pattern. 'Start off with a circle, crammed into the circle is the FULL spelled out team name, and a small image representing the nickname'. Remove the circle for Washington, replace the names with pictures for Buffalo and KC. The new logo is an obvious take on the RCAF logo that dates back 70 years or so, plus is subtly a compass pointing to true north. The more I look at it and consider it, the more brilliant I think it is. |

some guy over at HF has made a mock up with the new logo. page 35 on the official logo thread. im telling you this, IF they were to use his scheme, then we would have the BEST looking jerseys in the league. hands down!
the picture is a home and away side by side.
check it out and hopefully someone here can post the pic here too.

I find the home ones a little drab,maybe the silver bands could be replaced with white.
But what I would really like,is for the home ones to use the roundel,and the road ones using the wing logo.Other teams use diff jerseys for home and away,I wonder if TN maybe thinking of this.It would help in selling more merch I would think.

hate it, its actually so bad     This fan did a way better job. The new logo is just terrible. Your joking.. This is the biggest piece of crap. Looks like someone made it in Word. An italicized W with a jet and contrail. I've seen better beer league logos |

Primary logo comes across a bit flat on-screen and on the shirts. It's better on the hat, where there's some texture. Don't really get the pointy end on the maple leaf at the bottom, nor do I get why the jet is two different shades of grey.
Secondary logo should be the primary - a great typeface, nice balance to it.
Wordmark is brutal - looks like the Jays font with a giant maple leaf thrown in there. If the players' names on the back of the jerseys are in that font, it will completely ruin what will otherwise be a pretty sharp look.
Overall, it's still better than any fan mock-up I've seen here or anywhere else. The military influence is a bit over the top, but it doesn't bother me a ton.

I think it's actually the exhaust of the engines, like this:  I'd say the 2 shades of grey are to give it a sense of depth, as though the plane is due north, there's sunshine in the west casting a shadow on the east. |
