What If? - Winnipeg Jets

As promised here is my what if post for the original Winnipeg Jets.  This post is a timeline about what they might have looked like if they never moved to Phoenix.  To see what they looked like before they moved check out both www.whauniforms.com and The Hockey Uniform Database.

1999-2007:  The Jets would keep their classic jerseys until 1999.  Before the 1999-2000 season the Jets would update their uniform's.  The blue became navy, silver was added to the colour scheme, and the striping pattern changed up a bit.  They would keep these jersey until the Reebok Edge takeover in 2007.

2007-2011:  A few changes were made to the jersey during the switch to the Reebok Edge cut.  Front numbers were added, the collar changed, and the armpits became silver.

2011 Heritage Classic:  The Winnipeg Jets hosted the Montreal Canadians in the 2011 Heritage Classic.  They wore replicas of their 1976 WHA uniforms, the first year they won the Avco Cup.

2011-Future:  The previous years Heritage Classic jersey becomes their full time third jersey.

Note:  This isn't necessarily what I would have wanted them to do, this is my prediction of what they could have looked like.

  1. I like it. I for the most part did the same thing using the jets' new logos, though my white version was slightly different. I like what you did with it though.

    The Heritage Classic is perfect.

  3. Thanks, I'm glad you two like it. It wasn't as exciting as the Nordiques post (less new jerseys), but I didn't want to just copy what I did there.
