The logo and design of a uniform would be protected by a trademark as opposed to a patent.
My guess is that the old Winnipeg Jets logo is actually owned by the National Hockey League as opposed to a specific franchise. There is sometime retro merchandise created for teams that no longer exist which is "NHL Licensed", so my guess is that the league owns those as the ownership teams of those logos long since dissolved.
