ElwoodCuse Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I recently purchased a Jets jersey and I REALLY want to have an excuse to wear it as I have not had one yet.Who says you need an excuse, there were two different dudes wearing Jets jerseys (one white, one blue, not sitting with each other) at Game 7 of the Penguins/Red Wings finals.

The_Admiral Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Remember, the original NHL Jets logo used Helvetica for its wordmark.The crest logo? There's no Helvetica in there. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 No, they used to have a really plain Jane wordmark that was just a blue Winnipeg Jets in Helvetica, no outlines, no nothing. I did a quick search, found nothing, but anyone here could easily replicated by anyone here with MSWord. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Personally, I'm torn on the Jets/Moose subject. On one hand, I want Jets because I like continuity (or is consistency a better word?) when it comes ti these cases, like the Browns for example, or if Seattle ever got an NBA team again, I'd want them to be the Sonics. That sort of thing.Whereas on the other hand, the Manitoba Moose honestly have one of my favorite identities in all of sports. The colors are perfect, the logo is awesome, and it really is a great name. Everything about that identity is fantastic. If it were to be promoted to the NHL, it'd be one of the best in the league.So, I'm obviously hoping for one or the other - any other name would be really dissapointing. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

I love the Jets for the nostolgia factor, but the Moose has really grown on me. Great logo, awesome colours - it's really NHL material.I'd be happy either way, and it really is a tough decision to make. If it was up to me, I'd pick the Moose, but I would never have the heart (or guts) to go in front of thousands of fans wearing Winnipeg Jets jerseys and tell them we're not going with the name most of them want...

TFoA Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Those Jets fans would probably be mad for all of a week or so before buying Moose stuff. I'd be worried about that JetsOwner fella, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniformity Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I dont think jetsowner will ever go away, even if they do get a team. He was already going on about how the Jet's would be Canada's team for a few years because they came back. Nothing he says makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 At the end of the day the Thrashers are not the Jets. Therefore they shouldn't become the Jets. Moose or Falcons both work for me.

The_Admiral Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The Washington Senators were replaced with the Washington Senators, who played against the former Washington Senators who are now the Minnesota Twins.

Yeah, I mean CBC always airs the Leafs nationally every week at 7, so everybody in Canada's gotta love them, right?

NorthStar74 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Would be nice for CBC to start airing more Winnipeg and maybe Quebec NHL games in a few years.. am getting tired of seeing the Leafs almost all the time, so give me a break on that one... if the Winnipeg team get the go, I bet CBC will make sure to air some Winnipeg games on CBC for this coming season and maybe later on when Quebec City returns then we have a balanced tv schedule for sure (but can only hope for the best!!!)

I think Quebec and the Maritime Provinces got mainly the Habs and Nordiques (the Canadiens were also on SRC), Manitoba had the Jets at 8 PM EST, Eastern Ontario the Senators, and nationally it was either the Leafs or Habs depending on the matchup plus the 10 o'clock Canucks/Flames/Oilers game.

kw11333 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 The Toronto Maple Leafs maybe loved by a good percentage of the nation, but I promise you more people hate the Leafs than love them. I am sorry but if you really love your home town team, you should hate 29 other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to wrap my mind around the fact that after maybe 17 years I will finally see the name Winnipeg ----- and logo shown on CBC and then enjoy watching and hooting it up.. I still have my old Winnipeg Jets jersey and would love to proudly wear it for sure.. I seem to remember on the french version of CBC (SRC) that I did see some Montreal and some Quebec games shown (loved to see the Nords shown on SRC sometimes so I can catch them in action...)The Toronto Maple Leafs maybe loved by a good percentage of the nation, but I promise you more people hate the Leafs than love them. I am sorry but if you really love your home town team, you should hate 29 other teams.True but gotta have some balanced thing so we dont see too many of the Leafs so often and it would be nice to manage how that is the case...
