If the Whiteout is actually responsible for this team losing, then the players, coach, GM, and whole organization has far more problems between their ears than what happens on the ice.

I agree. Also stop cheering. And get rid of the organ guy. It's hockey, not some spectacle. Vegas made the finals last year and would never pull crap like that.

There's nothing wrong with the Whiteout. It's something the whole city gets behind and looks awesome on TV when the arena is filled with everyone wearing white along with all those outside the building. It's something positive that the fans can rally around to show their support. Just because the team has lost the home games in this series doesn't mean we need to discard the tradition. It sets us apart from any other fanbase around the league.
If you pay $200+ for your playoff ticket and want to wear your blue jets jersey go for it..... If your at home telling others to not wear white...... go fly a kite

1-7 in last 8 home games? That's ridiculous.

Pretty sure the problem is on the ice, not in the crowd.
Let's start with getting rid of the organist and see how it goes...

If white outs are outlawed, then only outlaws will have white outs.

Whiteout doesn’t forget that there are timeouts in the NHL
Whiteout doesn’t forget Schiefele can’t win a faceoff
Whiteout doesn’t forget that the Lowry line is the Jets best defensive line!

Whoo boy. A whole thread on missing the point.
This is just .... lazy.
Maybe St. Louis should implement a whiteout to solve their home problems.

I don’t have time to answer this question right now. I’m busy polishing my golden horseshoe, looking for a rabbits foot, shining up my lucky coin and eating my lucky charms.
Gotta do my part to make sure the Jets win tomorrow.

I work with a guy that looks like a leprechaun. Wanna borrow him?

Either way it doesn't matter, but not just True North loves it but the NHL does too. In 2015 I was somewhat weirded out at the fact it was brought back, but thought whatever and went with it. But what I think I'm trying to say that True North will advertise the hell out of it no matter what so it's very likely it's going to be here... forever (insert Spongebob meme here).
I think if anything we could move to Blue only, or whatever the home jerseys are in the future. I love the Whiteout, but more people have home jerseys and it almost shows how much of a cash grab the Whiteout is because people don't want to pay for a jersey so they buy a white t-shirt or if they're willing to go the extra mile a white jersey. But maybe if for some reason or another the NHL makes all home jerseys White then bring it back.
The Polar Storm might be a good name for our new Whiteout.

I like your post but the name suggestion Polar Storm is very insensitive as it will trigger bipolar people. We don’t want to offend and should make the term inclusive.
We did pretty well last year with the WHITEOUT - knocking off the Wild in 5 games and Nashville in 7. The whiteout is a tradition and fun thing for fans, and should be part of our identity. If people are blaming that for losing--it's a bad excuse.
Would you rather have a "Mustard Out" , and have those puky yellow shirts like Nashville has--no thanks. The Whiteout is fine with me.
The white out didn't cause us to give up 3 goals in the 3rd period -bad play, and execution did.

I've never really liked it going back to the 90s. It was copying Calgary for one thing. And they called it "Charge of the White Brigade" at first. History buffs will know that the Charge of the Light Brigade was a military disaster from the Crimean War which gave rise to Alfred Lord Tennyson''s poem. I wore blue to the last playoff game I attended and i'lI wear it to the next I attend as well.
A bunch of other teams have crowds wearing one colour who are going crazy for their home team and it doesn't seem to have hurt them.

Last 2 seasons:
Jets at home are 5-7 (with 3 wins over Minnesota).
Jets away are 7-4.
