So... When do we get new jerseys?

[Coffee]

Canucks and Rangers fan coming in peace.

Just wanted to say if you guys wanted signatures for a online petition to veto these Jerseys, I will get both Canucks and Rangers boards behind the rally.

Just going with the RCAF logo would've been better. But I guess there are permission/trademark issues? They could've maybe retro-ized the current Jets logo somehow.

 

[None]

It could be worse, see:

The only way I could comfortably study this is to don my full-face welders mask. Much bettah.

Don't think I've ever seen such extreme opinions from one end to the other

It's actually fascinating

I like the old-timey colors and look of the jersey itself as a part of Canadian hockey history...but the modern Jets logo looks so slapped-on and out of context.

And people complain about the Jets jerseys....

Those are terrible

Brown pants ? Lol who wore leather pants. Leather gloves sure. Wow

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

This is the one that came to mind for me.

Admiral Lord Nelson Battle Strategy

Admiral Nelson showed no fear in facing his enemies. One day, while sailing the seven seas, a look-out spotted a French ship and the crew became frantic. Admiral Nelson bellowed, ''Bring me my Red Shirt.'' The First Mate quickly retrieved the admiral's red shirt and whilst wearing the bright red...

My first impression was "man, that looks so awful".

But I'll confess it's slowly grown on me and now I think it looks kind of cool and I like the whole homage to the RCAF team from the 40s. I suspect it will look better "zoomed out" where you see the whole player's body. I kind of dig the brown faux leather gloves too.

 

[Haywire]

Much nicer than the boring Jets main jersey. They should run with this new one full time.

Not a fan of the new Jets RCAF jersey. Thank god they'll only be wearing it 3 times this season.

Winnipeg has an important history in aviation, including the major manufacturing and overhaul facilities that still exist, and being the place in which both Air Canada and the predecessor of CP Air were founded, the home of Canada's first international airport and also militarily with respect to the Commonwealth Air Training school in the Second World War. So the name makes a good deal of sense even though it is true that Ben Hatskin liked it because he was an acquaintance of Sonny Werblin. I don't think we'd be watching the Winnipeg Yankees if Werblin had owned a baseball team instead - the name had to make some sense for the city and anyone in the 1960s or 70s would have thought it did.

Scott Taylor wrote a great story on Hatskin beginning on page 7 of this seniors' newspaper: https://seniorscope.com/images/pdfs/v21n4_oct10_22.pdf

There's a difference between aviation and Air Force. I liked that in the 1.0 days the brand was entirely separate from military. The 2.0 brand reeks of it.

I respect people who have taken risks to serve our country. I disrespect politicians that put others at risk in order to further the economic interests of their donors. I can't untangle military branding from the thought of those politicians.

Less war, more hockey please and thanks.

Both of those jerseys are legitimately bad and far far worse than our RCAF jersey.

No

I think the Flames jersey is fine. The Oilers jersey is .. yeah I'm not sure what they were thinking. Whats with the brown pants? Is the design based on something older? Those shoulder parts are unusual. Why is the C partly in those shoulder parts and partly in the blue? The entire thing looks like early work in progress version 0.2 and not like a final product. A messy one for Sure.

Oilers jersey is based on an older jersey from what I read on the main boards.

The fake laces on modern jerseys, need to go away.

The coilers pants look like they were picked off the Marks Work Warehaus seconds lederhosen pile. 75% off, baby

I'm old enough that when I first started playing hockey, some hockey "sweaters" were exactly that - knit sweaters

Personally, I've always found old gear and uniforms fascinating, so I'm digging these. I wish they actually knit them though lol

It could be worse, see:

ok

please believe me when I say this, I thougth this was a mock up someone did to make fun of Edmonton.

Holy shit. Did they have the person at gunpoint when they designed this piece of shit?
