The final piece has been applied to the long-awaited dream of Winnipeg once again being home to an NHL team. The greatly anticipated new Jets logo is finally here.
Fans can now get their very own Winnipeg Jets hats, t-shirts, and kids wear at the new team store called Jets Gear which was formerly known as Off The Rack Moose Store. The store will be open until 10:00 p.m. Friday.
Jets forward Eric Fehr will be signing autographs at the store tomorrow from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
The Winnipeg Jets will unveil their uniforms and uniform colours at a later date.
The new logo is the fourth the Winnipeg Jets have worn on their sweaters.
“We have always had a close relationship with 17 Wing throughout the years, dating back to our annual Manitoba Moose Military Night,” said Dorian Morphy, Senior Director, Marketing & Brand Management of True North Sports & Entertainment.
“We are thrilled to be able to continue this relationship in a significant way. The design cues for the plane were inspired by the military jets flown by the Air Force over the years. So not only were we able to establish a new identity for our brand, but we were able to maintain a traditional, time honoured look to the logo.”
