Winnipeg Jets Reveal Logo, Draw Shame

     Well the time has finally come and the Winnipeg Jets, formerly the Atlanta Thrashers, have released their logo set in time for the 2011-12 season.  I must say I would've rather seen them keep the old logos from the 80's and 90's because these new ones really miss the mark.  Their name is the 'Jets' but you probably wouldn't know that right away from looking at their logos.  The primary, secondary and wordmark contain only 1 jet, but 3 maple leafs, among them.  The first thing I can think of being wrong with this is that there is already a team called the Toronto Maple Leafs, and I hope they're pissed.  Now I know the Maple Leaf is the national symbol of Canada, but c'mon.  There's 23 American teams that don't feel the need to litter their logos with stars and stripes and eagles.  The only city that's guilty of doing that quite a bit is Washington, but as they are the capital they have all the right.  The capital of Canada is Ottawa, and even the Senators don't stick a bunch of unnecessary maple leafs in all of their logos.  These Jets logos only lead me to believe that Winnipeg is a very boring, one-horse town that has nothing special about it and must use the stereotypical symbol of Canada as its own.  Winnipeg's on a prairie, are there even maple trees out there?  These logos are made all the worse by the fact that they are taking the place of the Atlanta Thrashers' old set, which were some very good logos.  R.I.P. Thrashers.  Another note, the name Jets is supposed to celebrate Canada's Air Force...I know when I think of Canada I think of a military powerhouse(sarcasm).  In short, these logos are the first of what I imagine to be many fails by the new Winnipeg Jets organization.
