Celebrate the Jets' triumphant return to Winnipeg
The announcement came in May 2011—the 2011-12 NHL season will mark the return of the Winnipeg Jets. Excited fans filled the streets in celebration. Even though 15 years had passed since Winnipeg’s last NHL team, the bond between the city and its cherished Jets remains as strong as ever.
The team’s new logo is an important part of that revival for its 21st century identity. The military jet that has been a visual element of the logo since 1972 has been brought to the forefront to highlight Canada’s rich aviation heritage; its time-honoured character evident in the logo’s strong, graphic lines. Shades of military blue and silver are enhanced with a touch of maple leaf red—a telltale sign this team will soar on the wings of true hockey passion.
Packaging: Coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon clamshell case lined with flock and protected by a customized sleeve.
