February 22, 20169 yr comment_184849 No, don't do that. I just don't understand why people get worked up over what names that fans put on their jerseys. Enough to mock or set up a website dedicated to doing just that. In regards to the Jets there are no classic jerseys you can buy from the WHA or NHL 1.0 era at their stores so if I put Hull 9 on a current Jets jersey it's not because I want to, it's because I have no choice. It's still my choice what I do. BTW, I do have a Jets away jersey that I bought in 2011 when the announcement was made that the Thrashers were moving to Winnipeg. It's a Hawerchuk jersey from the 80's. Looks authentic in every way. Only wear it occasionally. If I ever get to a Jets home game I'll be sure to wear it.

The comparison is a a joke. As far as kicking something, I hear ya.

Man, the guy turned 80. saw him on the NFL Network. What a great Baltimore Raven he was.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_184902 8 hours ago, TrueBlue said: The fact that they are still called the Jets is irrelevant when discussing this IMO. Jets or not, Hawerchuk never played for our current hockey franchise. I'd consider the Cleveland Browns under a different light altogether because of the settlement they agreed on to to keep the city's history and team name when they were brought back into the NFL. The Jets had no agreement like this in place. Even if the Browns kept some sort of history, the former Cleveland players never played for the current Cleveland Browns franchise. Hawerchuk never played in Phoenix for Phoenix. How could they have any connection to him, Thomas Steen, Doug Smail, Pokey Reddick or Bobby Hull? Never. They were Winnipeg Jets and will always be part of Winnipeg hockey history. Having a Jets jersey with the 1.0 heros makes much more sense than that of a Kovalchuk, Heatley, Hossa, or Hedberg Jets jersey.

But... if a Jet fan wants a Marian Hossa jersey that's their choice.

February 23, 20169 yr comment_184940 We'd probably have 4 pages of substance if Blueballz and Logan007 quit posting and complaining about nothing.

February 23, 20169 yr comment_185049 Why are we talking about having the proper players on the proper franchise when The Bombers have ALWAYS been in Winnipeg? Maybe if we are talking about the Baltimore Stallions vs Montreal Allouettes I guess but not the Winnipeg Jets 1.0 vs 2.0. This is not the thread to do so. This is a football page not hockey. Take it where it's appropriate. That being said, the old Jets are NOT the new Jets. 1.0 belongs to the Coyotes and the Thrasher history belongs to Jets 2.0. It'll be interesting what the heritage jerseys will look like. Will they go Thrasher cause I doubt the Coyotes will give up trademark of old Jets logo. But who knows...
February 23, 20169 yr Author comment_185062 Back to new CFL unis ... as mentioned, if the new threads are out in May and they are the classic design, I wonder if the team will eventually go to a third jersey. The mid 2000's gold jersey (trimmed in Royal Blue instead of Navy of course) would be OK with me if they ever decided to do that. Edited February 23, 20169 yr by IC Khari
February 23, 20169 yr comment_185076 I'd mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I actually liked these Gold's.....soooooo much better than the brown things they're calling gold now.

When the Jets moved to Phoenix, the old Jets logo became property of the NHL. When True North bought the Thrashers, they also bought the rights to the old logo. I'm pretty sure the heritage jersey will either be the logo the Jets had when they left or the old WHA logo. No way it is the Thrashers logo. True North would sell a ton of old Jets Jerseys. They'd be lucky if they sold 10 Thrashers jerseys.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_185098 Remember when people said they would never be called the Jets because nobody would buy new jerseys hats tshirts etc because they already had 1.0 gear.
February 23, 20169 yr comment_185102 According to Google, we do get thrashers in southern Manitoba during summer breeding season. I wonder what a Thrashers jersey, in Jets 1.0 colours would look like? (I'm not suggesting they should do this and they certainly won't)
February 24, 20169 yr comment_185119 Please can we just have the retro uni's full time. PRETTY PLEASE! the last few years have been brutal enough just give us this one.

Fans have been waiting for the Bombers to do the same thing with their jerseys, go back to the classic look. I'll take the Bombers for now.

Winnipeg Thrashers

As for the Thrashers name and history, wikipedia states: "True North stated that the announcement of the team's name would not be made until after the successful completion of the season ticket drive at the absolute earliest.[20] The team was not to be named the Thrashers, since True North did not acquire the name in the transaction, and the rights to that name and the Thrashers logo were retained by the ownership group in Atlanta.[21]"

February 25, 20169 yr comment_185382 Thrashers would have been an appropriate name for a Manitoba team... the logo could be something along these lines...
