Fantastic! Simple and works on many levels and on a dark or white jersey.
ReplyDeleteThis is outstanding! Clever combining the jet with the maple leaf. And the blue circle gives it a "military" quality. For the sake of a hockey sweater I'd make the lettering smaller and closer to the logo so that great logo becomes more dominant.
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice. Love it.
ReplyDeleteBetween here and twitter, I haven't heard one negative comment about this logo yet! Great Work Chootoi!
ReplyDeleteI Like It!
ReplyDeleteI don't like it. A Jet made out of a leaf? Um, no.
ReplyDeleteJust no.
I want a jersey that's CLEAN, SIMPLE, and CUTTING EDGE. This isn't it.
Winnipeg Jets is acceptable -Manitoba Moose is OK too. Manitoba Threshers Some thing we can all relate to. The logo is a singular Jet may as well DRaw 3 Jets.
ReplyDeleteI like the Jets name and that seems to be what many would like. There is also a focus that we should refer to the new team as a Manitoba team rather than Winnipeg. A new rebranding as the Manitoba Jets with Manitoba in the logo would be very fitting!
ReplyDeleteThe Avro airplane! Would be great as a shoulder patch, but I don't see it being the main logo.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!, Its perfect and no he didn't just make a jet out of a leaf, it has a Retro look to it, it looks like the Avro Arrow which is Canada's "Jet", and it has a reminisce of the RCAF Tail badge
ReplyDeleteAhh--THERE is the negativity that was curiously absent. Ha! I think if people want the Jets, they had better get on the same page for a new look! Nothing has beat this so far?! It DEFINITELY won't ALL start with the OLD logo. That doesn't mean we can't ease back into it later...For now, don't you think it makes sense to agree on SOMETHING and push JUST to get the name? The logo with out the veins looks cleaner, no? Oh well, this was my attempt to get the JETS diehards on the same page. I should have known better! ;P
ReplyDeleteThrasher fan here....as for the new logo...LOVE IT!!!!!!! Can't wait to fly up to Winnipeg next season for a game!!!!
ReplyDeleteReally, really well done logo. Eye-catching and expressive but simple. Two thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteOn the right track I would say, but I agree that the veining has to go. A bit of tweaking and this might work.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I a tweak or two may improve it--I just like the general idea. It's clever. Also, I am very glad to see a Thrasher fan commenting in a positive way. Cool!
ReplyDeleteColors are good, puck concept is cool but it's not practical as a brand identifier.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot!!!! I love that it incorporates three major items: 1) the Maple Leaf, the emblem of Canada (in it's proper colour), 2) the Avro Arrow (the first jet fighter, which was made in Canada before it was scrapped), 3) The circle, which is a testament to our armed forces (Winnipeg does have the Canadian base of NARAD)
ReplyDeletebeing a longtime fan of the Nordiques and the WHA, it would be a tradgedy not to resurrect the MONTREAL CANADIENS of the WHA. They are a storied franchise and should've never been allowed to leave for Phoenix. A newer syle logo would be acceptable even as i stare at my Hawerchuk jersey. How ironic it would be if the Coyotes end up in Quebec City....long live the canadian WHA hockey teams!!! nordiquesmith@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteYou mean the Jets right? "Canadiens??"
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Simply awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly awesome
ReplyDeleteGO Leafs GO! Wait a minute… Toronto Maple Jets?
ReplyDeleteIt's too similar to the Leafs. Be more original! Why does every "new logo" for a Canadian team need to have the maple leaf?
three avco cups in 7 yrs...thats canadiens-like dominance
ReplyDeleteHI there, I'm trying to copy this picture so I can put it on my facebook. Would you have a link I could copy? Seems like I"m having problems doing that. I think it looks amazing!!! You should so go to True North and show them. This could be a hot seller.
ReplyDeleteKen
I think it looks amazing. Use it as a 3rd Jersey and a Patch. Looks great. Trying to share it to everyone I know.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!! Let's make sure that Mark gets his hands on this.. Anyone Able to get this to him.. I guess just a copy and paste to true north would work as well... I'm doing it.. Well done
ReplyDeleteI like it but I don't think Toronto would be too thrilled with it
ReplyDeleteI like it. Simple, elegant.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect!!! It looks great now and will look great in 100 years. This is it!
ReplyDeleteThat would be good for a secondary logo on the shoulder of the uni, but not the primary. I would think just use a text logo similar to the Capitals or the 96 logo at the top of the page.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and simple but I would agree with others that the Avro Aero need to be present and the letters should be more involved with the logo.. Otherwise it's perfect!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGo Jets Go!!!
It is excellent. This is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteVery well done!! I really like that it has "Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club" around it. It's very appropriate. I don't think you're going to get anything else better. Perfect! Congratulations Winnipeg and all of Manitoba!! I hope this is what you use.
ReplyDeleteLooks more like the maple leafs. I hate the leafs!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw this logo, I thought it was a new logo for the Toronto Maple Leafs.......... It comes too close to the Toronto Maple Leafs trademark....... I wouldn't be surprised if that franchise filed a complaint.
ReplyDeletenope, not good. agree w/ tkrieger. looks like the toronto leafs. way to plain, we got to keep the name, so lets stick to something similar to our original jersey designs.
ReplyDeleteHow is this close to the Leafs? Just because there's a maple leaf in it? First of all, it doesn't look the same design wise and it's not even the same colour. The LEafs don't own the rights to a maple leaf. What's next claiming the flag should change too?? I think any person in their right mind wouldn't want to associate themselves with such a loser franchise. Sorry Leafs fans but it's a fact.
ReplyDeleteit looks cool but it's simply not practical
ReplyDeleteI like it, nice for tatoo.
ReplyDeleteOMGGGG!! HORRIBLE design!! Go back to the drawing board!! PLEEEEEASE!!! PUKE.
ReplyDeleteSince this post, designers from England have taken a stab at it--I think this is the best complete presentation so far...by FAR!

Not a chance
ReplyDeleteKinda looks like the Avro Arrow jet. Great bit of Canadiana. I like it!
ReplyDeleteI like it. It speaks to our Canadian heritage and it has a classic feeling. The only comment that I would make is that the font selection may be a little weak. But the actual logo is well thought out.
ReplyDeleteHORRID
ReplyDeleteThis is nasty. I'm hoping they hire an actual talented graphic designer with experience to create this logo.
ReplyDeleteLove it
ReplyDeleteAs a diehard Jets fan, I must say it's the best one I've seen yet. You should send it to the club (assuming you haven't already done so) ASAP!
ReplyDeleteGlad to have winnipeg back, grew up watching Keith Tkachuk as far as the new logo love it, am an american but would show the canadian pride with this logo. Good job you should submit it to the owners
ReplyDeletenice but put a hockey stick in there, it looks too much like a Military air force logo
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic logo! Submit it to the team!
ReplyDeleteNope! Looks like a beer label. Doesn't look modern or hockey-ish!
ReplyDeleteA failed Canadian fighter jet (Avro Arrow)!? Probably not the best jet to use in your logo.
ReplyDeleteToo much old school!!! And why the maple leaf too obvious and in red?? Liberal party ad?
ReplyDeleteActually for those that think it's a jet made out of a leaf, maybe try thinking it's a leaf made from a Jet. Either one works.
ReplyDeleteregardless, It's simple, elegant and works beautifully. There might be some that want the hockey-stick "J" Jets logo, but when start attempting to add detail to that kind of stuff you get into cartoony land quickly. Not saying Winnipeg franchise couldn't update the Hockey-stick "J" logo, but to me this is a great shoulder patch if not primary.
I would include some sort of hockey stick or sticks in the logo. Hard to do without making it look busy or cartooish.
One piece of criticism is, I agree, the Jet needs to be modified or changed.
Retro style. Elegant. Great!
ReplyDeleteHate it, Don't need a Maple Leaf to know it is a CDN city. Looks like a RCAF logo. uggg!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThank you
What's with the leaf? Toronto has dibs on that...we are the Jets, remember? I really hope we don't end up with this logo!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cross between the Conservative Party of Canada logo and the Canadian Forces logo. But it's the Jets, so who cares. Let's just play some hockey and and let the fans go wild! Now, where can I trade in my Canucks shirt for one of these?
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Don't change a thing. Very clever and insightful... GO JETS GO!!
ReplyDeleteworst logo/ jersey i have ever seen. get something different
ReplyDeleteIt is the best design I have seen put forward todate.
ReplyDeletethis looks like a molson canadian beer label...
ReplyDeletesorry, too plain..looks too expansion, has to look more like the original..also, too Canadian..and yeah, I'm Canadian..something the Blue Jays would use
ReplyDeleteIt looks like sh*t. What's wrong with you Winnipegers anyway? First you have so little imagination that you can't think of anything better than duhhhhh the Jets. Now you've messed up the original Jets history. The new Jets will always need to have an asterisk next to their name to keep it straight.
ReplyDeleteTry at least one original thing.... at least change the team colours.
No i don't really find it as monumental as the logo of the previous jets logo. I think they should try something with a better shape and objectives. The logo seems like they are trying to represent team Canada when really it's just the Canadian fan support. Please don't hate this is my opinion and I am entitled to it.
ReplyDeleteI like it. being a Caps fan I don't like the fact that the start time will being 1 hour and a half later, but I'll live with it
ReplyDeleteI think it's too plain. I like the old logo.
ReplyDeletebrilliant design. it's simple, clean and nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteIt looks too much like a bullseye.
ReplyDeleteI like the colour scheme, I like the logo idea. I don't like the leaf pattern in the jet. Fill it in with red, I say.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it has something to do with curling
ReplyDeleteNice logo, but reminds me quite a bit of Toronto...maybe some tweeking of the colors ?
ReplyDeleteOne thing to remember is that the team colours will mimic the old Moose uniforms...
ReplyDeleteThe jets are back, with or without a jersey or logo why not call them the winnipeg manitobans or something like that they wanted something new and also wanted to appeal to all of manitoba. hmpph just a thought anyways I am a leaf fan in thunder bay and winnipeg is now my second team go jets or manitobans or whatever...say what you want all...go
ReplyDeleteTo me, this is the best logo so far. But the jet looks a little stagnant, and trying to mesh a jet with a leaf is unnecessarily complicated. My suggestion: Drop the jet and the leaf in the middle, and replace it with the image of a jet that is blasting through the middle from bottom left to top right. Cal - Winnipeg
ReplyDeleteI don't like it. It looks like a beer label.
ReplyDeleteThis logo design is terrible. It looks like something you would have seen on a jersey 45-50 years ago. If they decided to choose something along these lines, merchandise sales would be terrible
ReplyDeleteI ditto on some of the comments that say it looks too old fashioned. It would be great for the team to wear this logo during NHL 'heritage' week but don't feel its modern/fresh. Too vintage looking for my taste. just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteGo leafs Go? Wait a minute, what's that? It's not bad, but it's a leaf? Does Winnipeg really want to be associated with Toronto? It needs to be more modern.
ReplyDeletedoes any one who is a leaf hater really know why they are a leaf hater...power of suggestion the nhl is controlled by america and the leafs ARE canadas team either them or montreal and that has roots no other canadian teams have. a large percentage of nhl players comes from the gta i.e. stamkos, tavares, subban, primeau, foote, and hundreds of others look it up...any ways dont give into the hate machine and start supporting your team(s) as much as you hate and maybe you wont hate so much punks...the toronto maple leafs used the maple leaf for their logo before the candian flag did...
ReplyDeletego leafs go the maple leaf forever
peace
I am not to interested in that logo, as a season tix holder. I would suggest, but before recognize True North ent. for the effort/determination to present the NHL(Co.?) with a business model that provides a solution for the under-sized facility. As for the jerseys, I think they should just modernize the previous logo a little bit and keep the colors. Maybe make the blue darker.
ReplyDeleteanonymous 2
ReplyDeleteLooks like a curling stone nothing to do with hockey. The logo needs flare and I would think with the Winnipeg organization there will definitely be green in the plan as there should be.
I've seen it on the jersey, and looks awesome. the military stripes on the arms were in V shape, but should be in W shape for a sneaky connection to Wpg. Colors are great. I know a lot of dudes who loved it as soon as they saw it.
ReplyDeleteToo conventional. Colors are good, I was expecting it to have a more distinct design than this. You should based it with the competitors, when it comes to image. Has no passion, no heart in it. It's a basic design but not a classic one.
ReplyDeleteThe font that you used is like a school logo, very basic. It doesn't say Go Jets for me. Maybe next time, I should lower my expectations with the Brand managers or whoever is in charge with the Jet's Image. There's one thing I see that really looks good... the background.
Ugh, they should just keep the original pattern. All this cartoony "leaf morph into plane" stuff is very minor league. Bring back the history, and people will feel like they're attached to what was there instead of trying to feel like they're getting used to a new team. *Pens fan's opinion, but excited to see a real city get a team instead of all this sun belt garbage.
ReplyDeleteSo did you get a cut of the new logo... seeing as how it pretty much looks like yours?
ReplyDeleteToo Canadian, Air Canada looking
ReplyDeletelooks like they snatched your logo....
ReplyDeletewow, you're a prophet! You were so close to the real deal and this might be better still
ReplyDeleteYup... your idea done got stolen by those cats! You deserve your slice of da cheese mang! Congrats on the logo...
ReplyDeleteIs this a military team representing Canada or a Professional hockey team which is located in Canada? Come on now. Drop the maple leaf and lets see a sportier jet in 3D and from a side view angle, not the flat 2D birds eye view which is so plain and dull. Let's get with it here, with all the digital equipment let's show a little advancement relative to this decade. It looks like something from the days of the original six years. Needs to more technological advanced and the jet should be different colors or shades not one solid color. It also with the red, white, and blue colors, looks very American. Use different shades for those colors. This does not impress in the least. Come on Winnipeg wake up and get with the creative program.
ReplyDeleteAs a Caps fan, I am nonetheless delighted to witness the return of NHL hockey to Winnipeg...and I totally dig this logo; there is little if anything I would change--maybe take the leaf veins out. Otherwise the use of the Avro CF-105 Arrow was a great touch--much more uniquely Canadian (i.e., better) choice for this crest than the U.S. designed and built CF-18.!!
ReplyDeleteOther thoughts:
--To those who slammed this creation: You don't have to like it, but have some respect for the thought and hard work that went into it.
--The Avro Arrow was not the "first jet fighter", as claimed by one poster, but neither was it a "failed" aircraft, as claimed by another. It was (in its day) the crowning glory of Canadian achievement in aviation, and established many worldwide aviation "firsts". It was was an enormous thoroughbred of an airplane which could easily outperform any of its contemporaries. One of the great tragedies--not just for Canada, but for all of aviation--was that this example of engineering genius was canceled for political reasons. Many of those left jobless in the wake of the Arrow cancellation went on to find work in the then-nascent U.S. space programme. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that, had the Arrow programme not been canceled, then it might have been Canada--not the United States or the former Soviet Union--that eventually won the race to the Moon.
--Somebody said this was "too Original-Six looking." Frankly, when it comes to designing a hockey sweater that's pretty much what you're shooting for.
--I would never confuse this with Toronto's crest.
Go Jets--Congratulations Winnipeg and good luck!*
(except when they play the Caps).
Peace,

Great comment - thank you for the post! Can't believe this post is still so popular. I do like the logo and still wonder if the artist was acknowledged. There is no denying that this was a DIRECT influence on the final product!
