0589: Heritage Classic by Mat Ware
Saturday · Sep 28 · 2013 | 8:00 AM PDT
We're stretching this week's theme into another Classic Saturday thanks to Mat Ware. He's created Heritage Classic jerseys for all seven Canadian teams, but I thought I'd share three of them today. First is what we're likely to see Ottawa wear to this year's Heritage Classic in Vancouver — only without Daniel Alfredsson.
Here's an Oilers jersey I know a lot of people would like to see a couple of times a year. Did you know Edmonton actually wore orange for a couple of seasons during their WHA days? It makes for a nice looking sweater. And in an NHL will more than its share of gold jerseys, this is certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
This series wraps up with a Winnipeg Jets fauxback, not unlike what the Flyers wore for their last Winter Classic appearance. Mat gives them the vintage white treatment alongside their original WHA logo to give the NHL's newest team a feeling of history. Which of the three do you like best?

These are 3 extremely solid concepts. Love them all. Great work Mat.
Oilers and Sens look great. The only problem with the Jets is that the logo uses normal white while the rest of the jersey uses vintage. Other than that, great job.
I think the Jets should use White and the Sens should use Vintage.
Can't pick a favorite cause all 3 of them look excellent. Great job Mat.
That is the Oilers' original WHA jersey scheme, but that is not the Jets original WHA logo. They did have a one-year logo before this one.
All three are phenomenal jerseys and would all look great in an actual Heritage Classic.
Like the Sens and Oilers ones, but rather than do a fauxback, why not do an actual retro jersey from the early days of the Jets in the WHA?
I love them all, but I do agree with Varun....Jets in white, Sens in vintage would look great!
The Senators should just make that their full time road. And make the current barberpole the full time home. And they should have done it yesterday.
