Just wondering about the Whiteout still, seeing as home jerseys are dark now, personally I think we still have to have the whiteout cause this is the true birthplace of it regardless of the jersey color!

I believe True North copyrighted the term "Winnipeg whiteout", so you can rest assured that that tradition will live on in some way.

Oh I understand what you mean now. Yes, I'm glad TNSE copyrighted the Whiteout. I believe the first game back will be some sort of a 'Whiteout' or, more likely a 'Blueout'

I would be OK without the whiteout. It's been copied by other teams as well as changed colours along the way so it's not original anymore. Even though it started here. It would also suck if I could not wear my home jersey to home games.
Then again, I didn't live in Winnipeg during Jets 1.0 so I never got to experience it. Was it a whiteout at every home game or just a few here and there based on who we were playing?

Didn't it start with the C of Red in Calgary? The Winnipeg whiteout was started in response to the C of Red in Calgary, yes. In fact, Washington was doing the whiteout before Winnipeg as well. We just did it a lot better.

The whiteout just doesn't make sense anymore. As much as I'd like to see it, it will look as though we will be rooting for the road team. It looks ridiculous in places like Pittsburgh during the playoffs when the fans (wearing their manufactured handed-out t-shirts) are going for a team wearing black. Sorry. Looks idiotic.

I ordered a white jersey... I don't care if its the away jersey now, I don't want to be the only shmuck wearing a dark home jersey amongst 15,000 people.

Also, other than dkehler, has anyone who posted in this thread actually been to a Winnipeg Jets game? Doesn't sound like you guys were even alive then...

Born in 1978. Didn't catch much of the Hull era, but I have been a diehard Jets fan since 1983-ish. So, yeah, I was alive then.
