Rebrand Series: Winnipeg Jets 2.0

So this is a slight break from the mould but, I'm revisiting my rebranded Winnipeg Jets jerseys.  I don't know how many of you know this but the jerseys were FINALLY featured on the icethetics website on August 10th (the day I got married so sorry for the lack of keeping you in the loop).
I got some pretty good feedback about the jersey, overall, most people really liked it, but a suggestion that kept popping up was that the red maple leaf took bled into the Jets text and looked to busy.  with those suggestions in mind I took another look at my logo and jersey set.
I decided that perhaps a more nuetral background colour would not look as busy or distracting so here it is.  My Jets 2.0 logo and jersey set.....WHAT DO YOU THINK?!

Rebrand Series: Jets 3rds

Although the Thrashers couldn't really pull off the powder blue, I think the Jets might just have what it takes to do what their former team could not.

Why not pay tribute to the club that gave new life to the Jets franchise.  Thank you Atlanta for not only bringing the Jets back but giving new life to an awkward coloured Thrashers jersey that fits perfectly with the Jets new colour scheme.

Rebrand Series: Winnipeg Jets

As I have mentioned the last time I posted a Jets concept, since the news that Winnipeg was going to have an NHL franchise back I have been a Jets super fan! With The Red Wings as my favourite team and the Lightning my 2nd, the Jets are My Canadian team, and although many critics have blasted the jets logo and jerseys I absolutely love them.
With all that in mind, it is only appropriate that with my very first blog post being a Red Wings concept, the first of my NEW DESIGNS should be a Jets concept, so here it is.
 First off, the NEW Jets logo.  I've combined the Jets current logo with their 90's logo and modernized the colours to complete the look.  You will notice that I've replaced the 90's jet nose with the current jet used in the Jets real logo, I've also added 'jet streams' to the jet to make the text come alive and give some flare and character.
 The jersey itself I tried to capture the jet stream look I've also incorporated into the logo and combined the iconic jet and maple leaf of the new Jets logo onto the jersey design itself.  Both the home and away versions of this jersey have a close resemblance to the jerseys the Jets currently wear...but look SOOO much more awesome!


Friday, I will be posting my rebranded 3rd jerseys for the jets that will pay tribute to a jersey used by the Jet's former home, the Atlanta Thrashers.
 P.S:  A website I follow closely called Icethetics, and within minutes I got a response that he would be posting this design on his site in the near future.
If you guys haven't check out Icethetics, DO IT!! It was the inspiration behind me starting to design again and to start this blog, while my blog is just my concepts and I only post new concepts weekly, Icethetics posts new concepts from various artists DAILY.  And it is such a HUGE milestone for me to be featured on the site when my Jets design is posted on it.
 I don't know when it will be posted on Icethetics, but as soon as it goes up, I will let you know for sure,
but I wanted to give you guys the first look at it before the whole world sees it (I wish lol)

Return of the Winnipeg Jets

After posting the Thrashers Jerseys on Monday I just had to make a Jets jersey to follow it up.  When I heard that the Thrashers were moving to Winnipeg I was perhaps one of the most excited people in the world, I was like a kid in the candy store!  I literally checked every single day for any updates on what they'd be called and then what their jerseys would look like, let's just say it was a long summer.
You guys may have seen a version before, originally it was the Ottawa RCAF Flyers jerseys back when they won the gold medal in 1948.  The manitoba moose wore the RCAF jerseys a few years back and after all the hype about the jets logo paying tribute to the Canadian Air Force I just had to make these jerseys.  Yes, the new jets logo looks very similar to the Canadian Air Force insignia, so I decided to pay the ultimate tribute to the Canadian Air Force by putting the jets logo on the RCAF flyers jerseys.  I've also added the modern shoulder logo to give it a little more jets flavour.  Don't worry the next Jets jersey I make will be much more creative.  Hope you guys like this one though.
