    NHL News

    Looks like the Preds are modifying their logo and swapping home jerseys from Navy to Yellow.




    Also as of Tuesday the NHL still owned the rights to the name Winnipeg Jets... so tonight look for the "new" name of the Winnipeg franchise.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    All home jerseys for every team should be white.

    I never had a doubt. The NHL knows that they will curry much more favor with the Winnipeg fans this way.

    it's too bad we live in an age of instant information. it would have been cool for a big unveiling at the draft with the old school jerseys to get their fan base excited.

    Noel named Winnipeg HC.

    Btw, that jersey is ****ing disgusting.

    Glad Winnipeg is keeping the Jets name, but I hope they update the logo and colors. It looks really dated.

    Re: NHL News

    If they were going to be called the Jets they would've had to acquire the rights from the NHL that process never happened.

    So you are not convinced that this is official?

    Re: NHL News

    i think it would be easy to have the NHL send the rights without documentation to winnipeg's ownership and paper it up later.

    it's in the NHL's interest, they could come to some gentlemen's agreement for the sake of speed.

    if another team owned it, they probably would want the payment upfront.

    I heard that Preds jersey may only be a prototype, not the final product.

    But here's their new logos. Upgrade IMO, but still don't like the yellow.

    The logo improved tremedously that space aged sabretooth was weird.

    They need to have the legal usage rights on file, signed and notarized in order for them to be able to have the logo or name broadcasted.

    The Draft tonight is being televised, so if they don't have rights, they will simply use the "NHL Logo" and say only "Winnipeg".
