Unveiled: The Shocking Best and Worst NHL Jerseys Every Fan Never Expected
Winnipeg Jets
Best: 2019 Heritage Classic
This is an easy, obvious answer — except it’s also agonizing, because the white version of Winnipeg’s heritage jerseys is also an all-time classic. We opt for the blue version here out of love for the depth of the blue, the red accents and fond memories of Bryan Little’s overtime-winning goal against Calgary at the 2019 Heritage Classic.

Worst: 2018-21 “Aviator Blue”
Winnipeg was ambitious with this design, choosing a new, bright blue color palette — a bold and relatively unique choice in the scheme of NHL jerseys. There are also subtle design elements, such as an F-18 fighter hidden in the Jets’ logo. Still, the “aviator” failed to capture public imagination, feeling more like a one-off than a new Jets classic. — Murat Ates
