Winnipeg Jets Jerseys Next In A Long Line Of Circular Logo Boredom

Written by Laura Astorian on .

Hey, remember when the concept of the circular logo was cool? You know, when Minnesota did it?

 

And then other teams looked at it and thought, "Hey, a circle looked good on blue when it was Buffalo's logo. Let's try it!"

Like Pittsburgh:

 

And St. Louis:

 

And then, um... a team that didn't really rely on blue much in their color scheme, the Florida Panthers:

Rawr!

 

The Blue Jackets' jumped on the circle/blue logo bandwagon with a logo (and jersey) that actually worked well:

 

Now the Winnipeg Jets're jumping on the bandwagon of circle + blue = success.

 

It doesn't. Guys, really. St. Louis' and Columbus' are the only two circular logos on blue jerseys (aside from Buffalo's) that work. Jets just look like a northern version of the Blue Jackets, which is funny - I always considered the Blue Jackets the northern version of the Thrashers. That's a happy coincidence.
