Clearly a Photoshop. Look at the numbers, neckline, and background. Everyone breathe now.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

THAT fooled people? On this board? Come onnnnnnnn.

Lotta folks gettin' twitchy about this one. You could probably 'shop in a custom numeral font on a '96 Jets jersey and get someone to bite at this point.

Interesting look back on "The Thrasher" from the NHL Guardian Project. It's as if the team's destiny was already written in advance and they were giving us hints to their future location. I know it's all pure coincidence, but it's interesting nonetheless...

The Thrasher is the fastest of the Guardians and his skill of flight in terms of maneuvering far surpass any of the other "Birds" in the Guardian Air Force. For propulsion, the Thrasher uses twin turbine jet engines attached to his boots. Two more jets are located on his forearms that slide forward over his hands when deployed. He uses these hand cannons for maneuvering, and at times as a weapon.

The Thrasher is capable of flying at 5 times the speed of sound. To achieve this feat the Thrasher has a titanium canopy that, when deployed surrounds his entire body encasing him in a futuristic looking Jet Plane. His entire flight suit and canopy are infused with stealth technology making him an ideal choice for reconnaissance or first strike missions. Atlanta is a major manufacturer of cruise missiles and as a result the Thrasher has a variety of mini-cruise missiles at his disposal. He's a lean mean fighting machine.

So really--to move ahead on that project, they only need to update the logo and the name...

"RT @cad1486: @icethetics Winnipeg Jets new color scheme: White, black and steel blue. Source is one of the guys repainting MTS Centre."

Icethetics is reporting the Jets with a color scheme that nobody really thought of. Thoughts? For once, I'm hoping for a red-white-blue team.

I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Sounds like false rumours to me. That would be ridiculous.

That's all that's going around Winnipeg right now, I'm not doubting it one bit at this point. Why exactly would that be ridiculous?

Because True North said the colours were going to be similar to the old jets.

Similar, but not identical.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Sounds similar to the colors TrueNorth uses for its press conference backdrops.

So on one hand it's "they're going with a RCAF/CFAC theme" which would necessitate some sort of red, white, and blue scheme. And on the other hand it's "they're going black, white, steel blue."

I wouldn't mind either, actually. With Tampa Bay playing Original 6 there's room for a black, white, and blue team in the league.
