Jets Unveil New Look

Today marks the unveiling of the new Winnipeg Jets jerseys.  It was done with much pomp and circumstance, with the Wing 17 in Winnipeg as a backdrop.  So, let's get to the nuts and bolts of this look.  As you can see, the home jerseys are a darker shade of blue, with white and light blue striping on the sleeves and the waist.  Personally, I wouldn't have minded seeing the two shades of blue reversed, but it's not horrible.  The road whites are actually unique in the sense that the sleeve stripes go all the way around, even with the shoulder striping going all the way down.  This is unique, and is actually a nice attention to detail.

The lettering on the player names is decent, but it is the numbering that really sells me on this jersey.  Modern design done right: stylish, yet not complicated.  You have seen the primary and shoulder logos a month ago, and that was an expected thing.  I would definitely buy the road whites, but give me time on the home jerseys.
