Winnipeg Jets unveil jerseys

[Dougall71]

So they just unveiled there new jerseys, how long before there in the game I wonder? Would be great if they were by release day, probably not though.

I like the jerseys. I'm still having a hell of a time trying to be more excited about the start of hockey season with the Jets than depressed that my Thrashers are gone.

Does Atlanta have an AHL team?

I know it's not the same, but being from Houston I've appreciated the fact that we have some sort of hockey to watch.

Plus the Aeros have solid history and have been pretty competitive in the past years.

Anyway, glad to have hockey back in Winnipeg. I'm all for expansion south, but it's necessary to have it up north.

Plus, Atlanta is a very fickle sports town. Not saying there aren't diehard fans in ATL, there's just so many other things to do there.

Re: Winnipeg Jets unveil jerseys

They're okay.
I'm getting tired of the navy and baby blue jersey's that are springing up everywhere.
I loved that scheme when the Pens unveiled them, but since that time, we've see Florida and Columbus pull it off and now Winnipeg.

I was hoping for more red in there.

I'm with ya. I don't like these at all. I wasn't the biggest fan of the new logo, but figured it could be salvaged with some solid jersey designs but these certainly aren't them. At least it's an improvement over all those god awful Thrashers designs over the years...

No, we don't have an AHL team. I had at least hoped for that when the smoke cleared but we're without hockey completely. And when the product on the ice is good, people in Atlanta go to the games. When other franchises experience long stretches of futility, most of them have the same problem we did.

I know it's tough to deal with as a Thrashers fan, but there's no way in hell an NHL team should be there.

I remember when the all star game was held there, there were people interviewed on the street who weren't aware that such a thing was happening. Plus, what was the average attendance? How many people showed up to that rally when all this talk started, a couple hundred?

It's tough in poor hockey markets like that because there will always be a small amount of completely die hard fans that feel gutted when the team leaves, but the fact is the majority just aren't behind these things most of the time.

Yeah, when the Braves, Falcons, and Hawks are all doing relatively decent, then the Thrashers are struggling. It kind of was the inevitable.

I'm sure you'll get an AHL team pretty soon. Has to suck though if you really like hockey. Sorry about it man. I know all to well what it was like to lose an NFL franchise.

Re: Winnipeg Jets unveil jerseys

At first I wonder if it was the new jerseys for the Conservative Party Hockey Team.

On a serious note, I like them, they are neat, colors are fine and they look good. Shouldn't be a tough sell in Canada.

I sure understand, Jacket.

Up here in Minny, when the North Stars left...it was devastating.

I remember well, when Norm Greed [Green] had flowers thrown towards his press box for assuring us our Stars weren't going anywhere. And off they went to Dallas. Good ole Norm was public enemy #1. It was a very difficult time.

Thankfully, we have the Wild. But that sting of the loss of the North Stars still lingers to this day. I am very happy for Winnipeg...but I do certainly feel bad for Hotlanta.

Re: Winnipeg Jets unveil jerseys

I wasnt a fan of the logo but this jersey looks awesome, really growing on me. I especially love the away jersey with the brighter blue stripes on the arms. Looks fantastic really.

I know its been mentioned before but when will EA update the game with these beautys?

Re: Winnipeg Jets unveil jerseys

Disgusting. Why is every NHL team making a jersey with a combination of light and dark blue? The Panthers' 3rd, Columbus' 3rd, and now these. It's hideous. Also where is the red?

Re: Winnipeg Jets unveil jerseys

My choice would have been to keep the same classic Jets logo and jerseys but update them a little bit.

That being said, I kinda like the new logo but the jerseys I think are underwhelming. Very bland.
