Jets unveil new jersey!

[germany00]

True North Sports & Entertainment today proudly unveiled their dark home and white away jerseys for the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club at a ceremony held at 17 Wing in Winnipeg in front of a Dash 8, CF-18, and Hercules airplanes. The Jets will begin play in the National Hockey League in 2011-12 when they open up against the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday, Oct. 9th at 4:00 p.m. at MTS Centre.

The jerseys consist largely of two shades of blue. The primary navy blue base of the home dark jerseys is referred to as "Polar Night Blue" which is found on many of today's Royal Canadian Air Force planes, including the Dash 8. The lighter, secondary blue is called "Aviator Blue" which is similar to the historical colours by used the RCAF, including traditional RCAF flags and the jerseys of the 1948 RCAF Flyers. The jersey also features the previously unveiled primary logo on the front, with the secondary logo placed on the shoulders of each jersey.

"We wanted to create a look that worked well with Reebok's modern and innovative "Edge System" uniforms," said Kevin Cheveldayoff, Executive Vice-President & General Manager of the Winnipeg Jets. "However, it was also vitally important to us to honour the rich history of hockey in our city, and fit the era of the Royal Canadian Air Force which inspired the primary crest design. The result is clean, simple and traditional."

LMAO. The "fakes" looked exactly like that, and the team said they were "not even close". That's bullshit. So ugly.

EDIT

Here's the fake. It's actually nicer lol.

I really like the number/name font, and with other angles, the white jerseys are nice. The blue ones are horrible though.

Yeah they look like the Jackets and just didn't do anything new with it. Kinda boring to me, but we'll see when they get on ice.

They really should have used the old one

Agreed. I don't mind the home ones but they're nothing special, the away ones are fugly imo.
