nash61 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 FIRST POSSIBLE LEAK OF 2012! I was talking to a sales rep at National Sports today, and he said that they've been told to pull all their merchandise bearing the old Jets logo. He said that True North has acquired the rights to the logo, and plans to put it on a jersey in the future, so they're pulling the merchandise so they can "re-release it" with the jersey.

The_Admiral Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 True North acquired those rights a while ago and proceeded to put them on the shelf so that people would only buy the Air Force stuff for now. Not surprised that there will be some throwback in their future. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Do I want the Jets to release a throwback alternate jersey based on the old Jets team? Absolutely.Do I want the current Jets logo to be replaced with the old logo of the old Jets team? Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '90s logo is just bad. I don't think they'll wear that. They might as well wear "their" throwbacks, though. The new Quebec Nordiques sure won't. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of the Winnipeg Jets 2.0 are going to associate the history of the Jets 1.0 with the new team regardless of what the history books say. Since TNSE owns the rights to the old Jets stuff they might as well release a throwback alternate to cash in on that sentiment. If they're going to do that then they'll going to have the current throwback stuff pulled so they can release their version of it on their own terms. I wouldn't worry about either of the Jets logos replacing the new Jets logo as the team's primary.

wildwing64 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I actually prefer the 90's Jets jerseys to what came before it.Not shocked at all that they'd even consider bringing an old Jets jersey back. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The '90s sweaters were kinda rec-league in an almost endearing way. Sort of an NHL analogue to the final iteration of the Washington Bullets: the most uninspired and generic of its league's red-and-blues, dead last or close in merchandise sales, even if the whole thing hadn't been scrapped altogether (Coyotes, Wizards) it would've been significantly reimagined between then and now. Wouldn't have lasted if the Jets themselves had. They symbolize nothing of consequence and have no intrinsic aesthetic merit, so there's little/no sense in bringing them back. Maybe a WHA throwback from one of the Avco Cup years is the way to go. They'll look like the poor man's Rangers in one way or another no matter which throwback they go with; might as well go with the glory days, I suppose. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Quebec comes back, I would not recommend the wolf ? it too would have been refreshed a couple times because it was very 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcan'tseeme Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 We went in a crew of 11, I was one of 3 sober ones. One of our drunk friends dropped a nice $150 on one of those messes. Couldn't believe it, it's a shame the Marlies didn't do anything special, jersey wise, but then again it's also a shame the Bulldogs didn't dress an AHL roster. What a let down, 7-2 at home. We gave it to the Hamilton fans. But yes just gross to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm disappointed that the Marlies came up with something special for the game instead of the usual trash they wear. They could have worn an old Marlboros throwback. Considering that they're owned by the MLSE, they would have jumped at the opportunity to make money off of this. Oh well.

Sodboy13 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 It's sad that MLSE hasn't bothered to fix the Marlies' jerseys yet, and they're still using that incomplete, empty design from the Edge rollout.
