The Winnipeg Jets are honoring the Royal Canadian Air Force with their alternate jerseys for the upcoming hockey season.
Shown at Saturday’s Fan Fest, the Jets’ “the Forty-Eight” pays tribute to the jerseys worn in 1948 by the gold-medal winning RCAF Flyers.nhl 24 eashl jersey glitch
The design features red and blue striping and the Winnipeg Jets logo in place of the classic RCAF roundel.
Mark Chipman, governor & executive chairman of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club and True North Sports + Entertainment, said the club’s logo was inspired by the RCAF decal.
“We are humbled to further share our appreciation for the selfless service of the men and women working and fighting for our country through our RCAF Flyers inspired specialty jersey for the upcoming season,” Chipman said in a press release.
