You’ve got to hand to Jets (back-up) goalie Chris Mason for taking the time and effort to emblazon this super terrific Jets logo on his pads. If these pads don’t boost his playing time, nothing will.

And the redesign tweak of the Winnipeg Jets new logo goes to…
ckck:
The Winnipeg Jets just unveiled their new logo(s) yesterday, and the result was neither the throwback to their former glory days I was hoping for or particularly good. So, I decided I’d have a little fun and see what I could come up with.

The Winnipeg Jets just dropped their new logo. At first glance, we dig.
The design for the new logo, which was developed in partnership with Reebok and the NHL, was inspired by the logo of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
This awesome sauce tribute video should be the official trailer for the Jets return to Winnipeg. If it doesn’t get your heart pumpin’ as a Jets fan, nothing will. Oh yeah, and it’s produced by a fan.
YouTube write-up by fan:
A video I made after the Jets were officially back in the NHL. Found all the clips online and put this together to the song by John Murphy, “The Surface of the Sun”. This was just for fun, don’t have any permissions [except for Winnipeg 4000, thanks man] so please don’t sue me.

I hope the recently resurrected Winnipeg Jets bring their 80s logo back with them when they return to the NHL this fall because it is pretty damn sweet in all its awkward, retro glory.
True dat.
Fingers crossed, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the Thrashers may be on the move to Winnipeg.
The Atlanta Spirit has begun negotiations with True North Sports and Entertainment on the sale of the Thrashers, which would result in relocation to Winnipeg, according to a person familiar with the NHL’s sale process.
A deal has not been completed and it is also not known how long the two sides have been negotiating. However, the fact that talks are on-going could mean the Thrashers would relocate to Manitoba perhaps as soon as next season.
Don’t get too crazy just yet Winnipeg, you never know what may happen? But you may want to start dusting off that Jets gear.
