0693: Winnipeg/Atlanta Freak Out
We've seen previous attempts at merging the old Atlanta Thrashers identity with that of the new Winnipeg Jets. But never quite like this. Brad Stimson presents this one for your enjoyment. Are you freaked out?

The military theme of the Winnipeg Jets seems to be pretty popular. Avi Stein has taken it a step farther with this minimalist set.
He's even included a throwback-inspired third jersey.
Steven Grant has been trying to de-Edge the NHL. His latest attempt is for the Winnipeg Jets. He says, "This concept is inspired by the old RCAF jerseys, and also a bit by the WHA Jets jerseys. I wanted to further the military look created by the logo, so I used stencil numbers."
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?
It's Thursday, so let's do a throwback. Bastian Schmülling is back with this mix of old an new for the Winnipeg Jets. What do you think? A smart third jersey when the day comes?
We're wrapping up this week of concepts for past NHL clubs with this trippy idea. It's sort of a mix of the Thrashers and the team they became, the Jets — with the old Jets' colors. It's all very complicated and exactly what I look for in a Freak Out Friday post. Kudos to Ryan Yuck on that.
This Winter Classic Weekend brings us a look at a future Heritage Classic between the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers. Bryan Dyck has a great pair of jerseys here that aren't actually that unrealistic.
