So you wanted tnse to take an extra year to come up with the Jets 1980s logo... that's second level shit.I agree that in hindsight, the Jets should've taken more time.
From what I've read, TNSE wanted to name the team the Manitoba Bears.
If you look at these Manitoba Moose third jerseys I think this is what they were hoping for.
Mark Chipman said in an article that the Boston Bruins did not want another "Bear Themed" team in the league.
That coupled with the public's desire for the Winnipeg Jets led them to switch the colors to navy blue and slap the current Jets logo on them.
I've said in numerous threads I prefer the original red, white & blue colors and I would love to see our Heritage Jerseys become our regular jerseys.
My experience with marketing and focus groups is that 15 months to name the winnipeg jets would have resulted in us cheering the manitoba forks
