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

[Jets 31]

Hell yeah, green. You skate out in Riders colours, that crowd is yours. Probably sell a million of them in Saskatchewan. See that below, she's a beauty, eh? Do it, True North!

Full disclosure: I am a Riders fan.

Don't people know that if something turns green it's spoiled and needs to be thrown out immediately !!!!!

Hope these are real, they look great

Thank you for posting this. This will be my first authentic, only because I refuse to buy the Fanatics joints. Might as well spend the extra $50 to get the embroidered crest.

I think the Jets revealed the white Heritage Classic jerseys the Friday after the August long weekend so maybe an announcement will be made around August 9 this year.

Feel like if this sells a lot more then TNSE considers making it the full-time home jersey.

People are celebrating professional hockey in Winnipeg.
The history of a financial transaction pale in comparison to people's actual memories of NHL hockey in our city.
I for one shed a tear when Chipman said the words "Winnipeg Jets" at the 2011 Draft.

Again, certainly a choke up moment for me too.

My "like" button is still disabled, so...

I feel like you are in the minority here.
The support and DEMAND to call the team the Jets was unquestionable.
The "team" in Phoenix is the Coyotes.
So little of the Jets 1.0 went with them and the roster was so different from the get go.

I support True North with their preference to have their own logos but will always prefer the Heritage jerseys we've seen and I echo the love for the 90's Jets jersey.

Very well said and there are many of us that hold the same view. Our history as it relates to the Heritage Classic is not that of Atlanta as we were not witness to the hockey played there. Like the previous Heritage Classic in 2016, this one will also be a celebration based on hockey played in the prairies.

I'm not surprised reading comments on the main board emphasizing that our history is that of the Thrashers and that of Jets 1.0 now belongs to Arizona. However, I am surprised when I read those same comments on our Jets board. Just because the NHL manages their records that way doesn't mean that we as Jets fans have to agree. We are the same fans that cheered on all versions of teams named the Winnipeg Jets. Our memories weren't suddenly transferred to the fans in Arizona just because the assets of the team were sold by Barry Shenkarow to Richard Burke and Steven Gluckstern in 1995 for relocation to Phoenix. It's the fans that make the team relevant not the other way around.

Ilya Kovalchuk will never mean anything to us simply because he played for the fans in Atlanta and not us. That's not meant to disparage him in any way as he was a great player but he wasn't ours. Our memories will always be of players like Hull, Hedberg, Nilsson, Hawerchuk, Selanne and now Byfuglien, Laine, etc. Those are the players that played for (or are currently playing for) us fans in Winnipeg and no league mandate can change that.

We should have just got our aviator jersey modified to be the Finnipeg Jets

 

[Hunter368]

Love to see the team eventually come up with a significantly new design eventually for one of its New Jersey’s vs just putting these old 1.0 jerseys.

 

[Guardian17]

I hope this is the more accurate version except I'd prefer the red numbers with white outline to authenticate the original look. I never did like the white logo of the 80's.

I'd like the red numbers too.

I completely agree with you.

The whole "Jets history belongs to the Coyotes" is garbage.

The perfect example is when the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats rebranded as the Charlotte Hornets 2.0.

All the history of the Charlotte Hornets 1.0 that was residing in New Orleans was transferred back to Charlotte.

The sun did not explode and the NBA didn't fold just because the history was transferred.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/10958580/charlotte-bobcats-officially-change-nickname-hornets

Whitfield also announced that, in collaboration with the NBA and the Pelicans, all the statistical information, records and history of Charlotte NBA basketball will be restored to the franchise.

That means the Hornets will now own and have access to all the historical elements from the recent Bobcats era (2004-14) as well as the original Hornets teams that played in Charlotte -- including stats from stars such as Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning and Muggsy Bogues.

All Hornets records from their years in New Orleans will revert to the Pelicans' history, Whitfield said.

Which is precisely why when teams move, they should be required to leave the name & franchise history in the city they are vacating. That is where the history was made anyway.

Dale Hawerchuk was never the all-time points leader in Arizona.

Exactly. Both the NBA and NFL have proven it can be done. I'm not sure why so many (especially on the main board) get so bent out of shape at the thought of the NHL following suit. It would be simple to have the Coyotes history begin as of 1996-97 when it was the first season of NHL hockey in Phoenix. The players league stats would never disappear but it would just be treated the same way as when a player is traded from one team to another. When the Jets traded Hawerchuk to the Sabres his stats with Winnipeg didn't continue on to become part of those with Buffalo but they did still accumulate with those of his overall stats in the NHL. Records should be kept with the city where they were made especially in cases in which the team name remains the same.

It was ridiculous to the point of laughable to have seen Phoenix retire Hawerchuk and Steen's jerseys. The same would hold true if we honoured Kovalchuk, Heatley or Hossa. Silliness.

Completely agree - except I don't think the team name really makes any difference. I know it seems to, but deep down it doesn't make any difference at all.

Good thing they didn't make it Calgary #13. It would be tiny.

Burn your lawn. It's moldy.

They should come out in Bomber colours ...... that would be a great heel move ....

Never been a fan of the 80s uniforms since they weren't an original design for Winnipeg. I'll take the Heritage Classic version any day over those.

Better that Fergy made us look like the Rangers than the Canadiens, is all I have to say on that matter.

 

[White Out 902]

These are nice and a huge improvement over our current shit jerseys, but, the roundel would have to have a red outline, not silver, otherwise it looks way out of place

Or, no outline

 

[sting13]

Love to see the team eventually up with a significantly new design eventually for one of its New Jersey’s vs just putting these old 1.0 jerseys.

Isn't the idea of a Heritage game to remember the past? Old jerseys is what this is about. They already went with a new design for the third jersey the Aviator which was not well received.
