Note: The Jets sent out Fan Forum Invitations to season ticket holders on Monday and included in the graphic was news that the team will be revealing the Heritage Classic jersey at the event. They added in the body of the email “Be amongst the first to view the launch of the new Heritage Winnipeg Jets Jersey, which will be worn for select games this season. Those in attendance will be able to pre-order the jersey and purchase other Heritage merchandise following the event.” Last month we showed you some concept art from the folks at Icethetics that is purported to be pretty close to what we will see next month.
