Oilers will play in outdoor game in Winnipeg

[Young Lions*]

Will the winner of this one get the Avco Cup?

It's been close to 15 years people change their minds.

I recall Wayne saying he'd only play for the Oilers legends.

I think Oilers will wear their current orange thirds. I expect Jets to embrace the white out and wear white.

Unless they do a 1972-73 look, it may be the 78-79 jerseys, IMO.

The classic whites with the then blue on orange logo:



Winnipeg with their blues:



And. perhaps the refs can wear the old WHA stripes:



And the short lived orange pucks:

So the refs would look like clowns?

Fitting...

Found the entire video of Game 6 of the '79 Avco Cup. It was shown on CFRN-TV (not sure if Winnipeggers got to watch it). Al Shaver with the play by play and Bruce MacGregor, I believe, with the colour.

The VHS was a little jumpy for the first few minutes but was pretty good after that. BTW, yes, Paul Shmyr was wearing the "K" for the Oil.
