Military Inspired Logo for the Winnipeg Jets

[Lowlander]

I dont think that the logo is stolen I'm sure the team had to get permission form the Air Force for this logo, they had to get permission form the Maple Leafs to include a maple leaf as part of the logo.

I'm not a Hockey fan, but even I would wear something with this logo on.  It's tastefully done and attractive.

yes you are,,,don't be a fibber....

The only ones they'd have to deal with is the Air Force and they did. The Maple Leaf has always (I'm pretty sure) been on the rondel of the RCAF.

Check out the reaction from Uni-Watch.com for a few critiques (for and against). Also for giggles take a look at this design contest from ESPN (all entries posted here). How the Winnepeg Threshers and the Winnitoba Moosejets were rejected, I guess we'll never know.

Chipman said there was plenty of credit to go around for the team's new look. That included the assistance of the Department of National Defence and Lt.-Gen. André Deschamps, the NHL and Reebok for the design.

He also singled out the Toronto Maple Leafs for graciously giving permission to use the maple leaf in the new Jets logo.

They had to get the Maple Leafs permission to use something that belongs to Canada??

Not likely; unlike the Leafs, the Jets are a professional hockey team.  :stirpot:

 

[Lowlander]

They did get permission form the Maple Leafs to use the maple leaf i'm sure it has somethig to do with an NHL copywright or something, but to date no other NHL team has ever used a maple leaf in there logo.

It looks like they are including the Jets with the new jersey in NHL 2012.

Hey, you could have named them the assholes and dressed them in pink with frills - I am just happy that hockey is back in Winnipeg.

I liked the old style logos. This will take some getting used to, but it's a great start and VERY classy of the organization to pay the homages they have. I hope to see more to come.

Really, they could have gone with a design like the Flames' horse head which incorporates the Maple Leaf design into the "flames" and saved some time on the request.  Take a look only at the Flames logo attached and only look at the red in flames flaring from the nostrils and the red on the horse's forehead - ding, ding - Maple Leaf!
