Taro T Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 It is. The logos aren't bad. I'd agree it's not bad. (It definitely won't live in infamy w/ some others from the past.) I was just hoping for something brighter. A league full of black, navy, & now aircraft dark gray (?) is getting old.
spndnchz Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 Looks a bit like an upside down Thrashers logo aye?
Braedon Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 i think it looks pretty sweet. I do too. Was very leery of what they would produce, and to be honest I'm pleasantly surprised. The only think I would say is they could do without the jet engine part, as it kind of makes the maple leave look odd. However nostalgia aside, I think it trumps the old logo. Much more kick @ss.
bunomatic Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 It apparently pays tribute to the air force. I like it. As someone else pointed out,at least it doesn't look as bad as the slug.

Correct: http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2011-07-22/winnipeg-jets-unveil-new-logo-jets-uniform Not too shabby. I like the one on the bottom right the best. The plane/jet over top of the leaf in the largest logo is sort of weird, but whatever. Probably good that they went a totally different direction from the old logo.
thesportsbuff Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 [EDIT: I didn't notice the little compass point heading towards North as well. A little tribute to the ownership group, perhaps? Assuming this is, in fact, the logo that will be unveiled shortly.] Good eye! I didn't even realize that at first, but I think you're totally right. Definitely looks like a compass and I don't know what else that would signify, other than Canada being the northern most country in North America or something lame like that. My bet is a tribute to True North. :thumbsup: Good find.
Supersabre Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 The jet looks like an American built F-16....may a subtle undertone to the time the team spent in Atlanta when they were the Thrashers eh?
BuffaloSoldier2010 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 The jet looks like an American built F-16....may a subtle undertone to the time the team spent in Atlanta when they were the Thrashers eh? I think it has more to do with the fact that if you're a NATO country not named France or England, you're probably flying American planes.
carpandean Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 The jet looks like an American built F-16....may a subtle undertone to the time the team spent in Atlanta when they were the Thrashers eh? Actually, it's a stylized version of the CF-18 (I know it looks like a single engine, but that's the stylized part), which is also an American plane. I don't believe that the Royal Canadian Air Force has ever flown the F-16. The A/F-18, then the YF-17, was actually a competitor to the YF-16 for the US Air Force. After losing, it was re-designed a bit into the A/F-18 for the US Navy/Marines. Other NATO countries often selected one of the two for their Air Forces, but usually not both. Canada went with the A/F-18.
