First off, condolences to Atlanta Thrashers fans, and congratulations to Winnipeg Jets ones.
I've been kicking around an idea that if the Jets name really will be allocated to the relocated franchise to use, the ownership should do so, but consider changing the team colour scheme to more closely align with another beloved Winnipeg team- the CFL's Blue Bombers. Between the Canadiens, Rangers, Capitals and Blue Jackets, the league has enough red/white/blue schemes already, and although the blue/white/gold is similar to both the Blues and the Sabres, if the colour were actually a metallic gold (a la the Penguins) rather than a yellow, it could be quite distinctive.
Using the last Jets' uniforms displayed at http://www.nhluniforms.com as a template, and making some modifications as well as effecting the colour palette switch, I ended up with something like this:
Any opinions? It'd be contemporary, have some reasonably local connection while holding onto the old logo, and likely drive new sweater sales.
