Hey all,
I figured with the somber vibe around here I'd try to take our minds off of it with a tidbit of information I learned last night. I marked this as 'rumor' because I have not seen anything official as in documents or pictures. However, the person I've heard this from is at a senior level with Fanatics (he travels a lot, works with vendors, clients and their manufacturers). I play hockey with this guy (really great player, too )
He revealed to me that Fanatics (who have been making the NHL's replica jerseys and have a 16 year contract to make the quick turn around apparel like Stanley Cup gear, etc) will start making the NHL's official player worn jerseys next year. I asked him if the Jets are getting a 3rd next year and to my surprise he said yes! However, it's not what I really expected. The jerseys will have powder blue as the primary color (original, huh?) and the logo will be one we have not seen before. He described it as a script logo, with inspiration from our original logo (heritage classic) but with the jet incorporated in the 'T' of Jets.
I badgered him to show me a picture - he was reluctant but might show me on his phone. I play with him on Sunday so I will be asking him again. If I get to see anything I will try to render a drawing from that (though I warn you now I am NOT an artist
I'm not sure I will like this, I would have rather seen us go to the HC jerseys more often, or even the 90's jersey for a year.
