Okay - so, there has been a long running debate about what the Jets should do for their third jersey (whenever they decide to incorporate one). I know Chipman favours the WHA jersey (second season jersey), but nevermind what he says! What do you think? Can't remember what all of the jerseys look like?

I would really like to see a new design - something with the alternate logo.

However...the '73-'74 jersey does represent a winning/championship era, so I would be fine with that based purely on history. They're not half-bad looking, either!

I went with the 90's era, That's how I remember the old Jets team.

I think it should be completely NEW. Enough of this "looking back to the past" stuff. It's been done to death. The old Jets have been celebrated plenty - and there was very little about them to even celebrate to begin with! If True North insists on vintage, make it the 1972 original one. I know it's sounding like I'm bashing the 1979-1996 Jets, but I did love them. I just think ENOUGH ALREADY with looking back to that era that was sad and bitter more often than it was great. "Lets look to the past!"
"Lets look to the past!"
"Lets look to the past!"Ugh. Enough already!  |

The 1972 jersey certainly isn't out of the question. Does anyone remember when the Manitoba Moose wore those jerseys for one of the last games played at Winnipeg Arena? I'm sure Chipman had a say in that. They looked really good, too. I can't find any game photos of that particular game, but I did find this: steveysgamer.twoday.net/stories/3432534/ (scroll down to the 4th jersey). |

Why not? It's not like any of the WHA jerseys are absolutely brilliant. I wrote "along the lines of" the one in that picture. I'm sure some modifications can be made to improve it. There was a grey one that someone did with the secondary logo that I also thought looked good. Again - changes could also be made. I just want something different rather than a retro. |

I kind of agree with Slippy that it's a new era and that we should continue to move forward. I don't agree that the previous era was sad as I have plenty of great memories. But an awesome new-designed third jersey that celebrates the 2.0 era would be great. Plus, it would sell like crazy. The old logos already sell like crazy, so why not add a new design to the mix?
This is just my opinion. Feel free to dispute it - I won't be offended. As long as you say why rather than just "NO".

I think we should keep celebrating jets 2.0 And release a brand new one. We can bring back a retro in a couple more years, but now we should be celebrating the brand new Winnipeg franchise

Agreed. If that's the one Chapman liked that'd probably be it. However, I ended up meeting the former merchandising coordinator for the jets gear stores and I asked him about a third jersey. He had said that before he had left they had been throwing around ideas for the third jersey. They debated going retro but they decided to stick with a new design. They could very well flop and change their mind but that's what he said they had decided. They also mentioned no third jersey this year, but a third jersey for the "third" season back.
