0090: Two Kinds of Jets

In this week's Freak Out Friday, Ross Taylor is merging the two incarnations of the Winnipeg Jets. The pair of hockey sticks in the logo is pretty clever. So what do you think? Is it better than either of the two real-life looks?

Now I enjoyed the new look Winnipeg Jets. I appreciate the subtle things their logo does, true north and all that jazz, but this is by and large a great improvement on it. I am more "freaked" out by the fact I enjoy it so much more than both the original and new. Well played Mr. Taylor

Wow ! I think that it's Ross Taylor's best concept. A good mix of retro and modernity.

[Tom]

this is absolutely fantastic. he should mail it in to them. would be one of the best jerseys in the NHL right now. would love to see a home jersey that was red!

[Rory]

I like it. Very nice, indeed. The only thing that still doesn't look right to me (and a feature that bothers me about the current Jets) is the jet pointing straight up. I'd like to see it tilted slightly to the right, reminiscent of the "J" in the old Jets logo and I think that would make a large improvement.

[Mark]

Oh my God! I LOVE it. Seriously, if it were for sale, I would definitely buy one! Not really seeing the old Jets in there though...

I would also like to see what a road and third jersey would look like.

Good job Mr. Taylor!

[Mike Z.]

Nicely done sir. I really like the simplicity of it, and the hockey sticks are a small and subtle touch that give it a sense of motion and speed, which the current mark is sorely lacking. And the almost perfect balance between the red and blue really pay off. Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure what the shoulder patch is going for. Despite that, it still remains a solid effort and I'm really intrigued to see how a dark jersey would look.

I'd love to see the home jersey equivalent of this. The logo is incredibly sharp.

[Tyler]

It's fantastic. I love the red pants. I'd prefer it with blue numbers, but that's really just splitting hairs. Great, great job.

[the man]

Thumbs up!!!

[Chance]

Ross definately needs to make a home and third to go along with this beauty! And I think that Rory's idea of having the jet tilted to the right would make this jersey look even better as well.

[Rob S.]

Bee-YOOUUUUUU-tiful! We need to see the blue jersey now!

That may be one of the best concepts I've seen on here in a long long time. This is fantastic. I really love the hockey sticks as the tail fins on the jet. Usually concepts are a different take and may not be an actual improvement on what is currently used, but this to me, and I love the Jets current jerseys, is a massive improvement.

If I could, I would give you a standing ovation for this. Well done.

That logo is quite possibly the most beautiful mashup I have ever seen. Ross Taylor has done it again.

[pdenny]

I love it! I actually didn't notice the hockey sticks in the logo until I read the analysis. I think it is the best re-design of the current look, so far.

[Nicky Santoro]

Ross Taylor is amazing. I love all his work that has been featured so far. Get this guy hired by the NHL/Reebok ASAP.

The logo is genius.

The jersey is also a perfect blend of old school jets and modernity.

A 5 star concept if I ever saw one.

[Casey]

Wow I love this they should pay him to use these during the season, fantastic job

[Anon]

this is a great concept! idk why its on freak out friday

[Andrew]

5 stars, enough said.

[Erock]

This is Ross' best concept to-date. I would love to see the 'Peg use this design and I'm a Sabres fan...

[March]

I'd expect something a little more crazier on a Friday. This isn't bad at all.

[Shep]

This is what the Jets should be wearing.
