Speculation: Winnipeg Jets to get 3rd Jersey next season - with a new logo

[Mortimer Snerd]

We can pretend, but I don't remember Bobby Hull playing for Arizona.

Exactly. Wait. Which side are you on here?

A career in graphic arts? Maybe not

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

We should wear brown leather skates and gloves with these unigforms....It will look like my old table top hockey players when I was a kid

Honestly brown gloves would terrific with these 3rds

That isn't a truth. It is fantasy. 'Franchise' is just an unfortunate accounting construct that the NHL does wrong.

Atlanta Thrashers history means exactly zero in Winnipeg too. Connecting the 2 is just pretense.

 

[cutchemist42]

Wow.....that sucks. Is this a joke?

 

[Jet]

ZERO chance that leaked jersey is real.

LOL you want to bet on that?

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Lol these are awful. Should have just used the white out jerseys. Those are sick.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

My Katra keeps me going. What about you?

Whiskey and cigarettes mostly.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I wouldn't have been a fan of another heritage jersey, but this is way worse.

City/region history is separate from franchise history, whether we like it or not.

 

[Heldig]

Not a fan of the Jets 2.0 jersey (or logo for that matter) but these thirds are horribad. Totally amateur. WTF is True North thinking?

It doesn't have to be that way. See: NBA.

 

[Channelcat]

Its got a retro club league look. I really like it.

 

[Moe Mantha]

This looks like a Jets shirt your grandmother would buy you at Bargain Harold’s when she didn’t want to pay the price of an actual jersey.

It’ll grow on me once I see Laine wristing goals in wearing one.

Agree - but nobody cares about 'franchises'. Really, no body.

Do you care about Kovalchuk's time with our franchise? I sure as **** don't.
Do you think anybody in Arizona cares about Hawerchuk? Or even knows his name?

 

[Cellee]

It doesn't.

But , to be honest, the nostalgia factor gets super annoying/sort of sad.

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

Not a huge fan, will reserve full judgement till I see it on the ice with full equipment.

I do when we talk franchise records.

It will fade over time, but the Flames still reference Atlanta on their uniforms.

 

[SCP Guy]

We want brown gloves....... and brown leather helmets to go with these bad boys

There are also "team records" though - on NHL.com you can break down historical stats by "team", not "franchise", which separates the Jets (since 2011) from the Thrashers. That's my personal favourite way to look at the stats.

Aavco finding what I couldn't.

But why do we ever talk franchise records? Or, more to the point, do we ever talk franchise records? The talking heads on TV do it, but does anyone care when they do? Well, apparently you do. But why? Completely meaningless.

The way I look at it, Jets 1.0 went broke (they did). The assets of the dead franchise were sold to a new owner in Phoenix. The assets included player contracts and rights plus the league licence, that is the franchise. But that is all it was. Just the remaining assets of a dead entity.

It was the same when we got the Thrashers. The history can be moved on paper but history doesn't work that way. It is not just an asset. It is what happened and that doesn't change when an accountant moves some numbers from one ledger to another. Jets 1.0 happened in Winnipeg, not Phoenix. Did Poland's history transfer to Germany in 1939?

That would be cool. Maybe some old school skates too
