Starting with the Jets first season in the NHL, 1979-1980, they made their first radical change to the uniform, as implemented by John Ferguson. The color scheme remained the same, but the uniforms now had the look which Ferguson imposed on the New York Rangers when he was their GM. The logo remained the same, but on the home uniforms, all all-blue stripe in red trim went from the shoulder to the bottom of the sleeve, with the number inside of the wide blue stripe. Similarly, on the bottom, a wide blue stripe covered the bottom, with a narrower red stripe separating the blue from the white. The road uniform was nearly identical, except for the colors. The all blue uniform featured a wide white stripe from shoulder to sleeve, and the number inside the white stripe, which was trimmed in red. The bottom featured a wide white striped, again trimmed in red. The numbers on the home uniform, as was the case previously, were blue with red trim, but the shoulder numbers were white with red trim. On the road uniforms, the numbers were white with red trim and the shoulder numbers were blue with red trim. The road uniform also featured a different colored logo. The logo was the same, but the background was white with the "Jets" lettering in blue.

The Jets made their third and final radical uniform change starting with the 1990-1991 season. The color scheme again remained constant, but the logo had been redesigned. The home uniform now had blue and red striping along the bottom and sleeves, and solid blue numbers. The road uniforms had white and red striping with solid white numbers. The color of the logo remained constant between both the home and road uniform.
Other Notables: In the 1975-1976 season, the Jets had a patch on both shoulders on both the home and uniform for the 1976 TaxOlympics in Montreal. The patch was white with red lettering. In the 1981-1982 season, the Jets had a "Celebrating Ten Seasons" patch on the shoulder, which featured a Jets logo with a red border which stated "Celebrating Ten Seasons", and "1972 1982" was inside the logo on the patch. In the Jets final season in the WHA, 1978-1979, they changed the color of the jet on the logo on the home uniform to white from blue, a change which was just for one season. Starting with the 1987-1988 season, the Jets began to wear a "Goals For Kids" patch on the shoulder, in honor of the official Jets charity, it's official purpose being to raise money for children's charities in Manitoba. The patch itself was changed in 1990-1991 with the radical uniform change, but it remained and was carried with the team to Arizona. During the time between 1979-1980 and 1989-1990, the lettering on the nameplate did undergo one change, starting out with a thinner, more upright style to a thicker but smaller font. The 1991-1992 season saw the Jets, along with all other NHL teams, wear a patch commemorating the 75th anniversary of the NHL, which appeared on their right hand side. The 1992-1993 season saw the Jets, again, along with all NHL teams, wear a patch commemorating the Stanley Cup's anniversary, which appeared on their right hand side. In the final games of the 1995-1996 season, the Jets wore a "Cherished Memories" patch on their left hand side, offset from the main logo.

This is the first ever Jets uniform. It was only used for the Jets first season, 1972-1973. The home jersey, predominantly white, had blue on the shoulders, blue and red striping on the sleeves and the bottom and blue numbers with red trim. The nameplate was red with white lettering. The road jersey, almost entirely blue, featured white and red striping on the sleeves and bottom and red numbers with white trim. The nameplate was entirely white with red lettering. This was also the only Jets uniform to have the original Jets logo on it.

Starting in 1973-1974 and through the 1978-1979 season, the Jets last in the WHA, they used a similar uniform, but using the new logo, as shown. Aside from the logo, the only difference was the nameplate. The home uniform now had a white nameplate with blue lettering, while the road uniform was blue with white lettering.
