It looks good doesn't it! It's also white. I was expecting to see the blue version of this jersey, but I like that they went with white. The jersey is a true throwback (not a fauxback) to the sweaters worn by the WHA's Winnipeg Jets, specifically the version from their Avco Cup winning 1977-78 season (according to the information on WHAUniforms.com). The Jets will wear red pants with these jerseys, there's many great photos of those pants and the whole uniform in this photo gallery on the Jets website, go check it out.

Meanwhile the Oilers will wear their alternate jerseys from last season. I was initially disappointed since we don't get to see a new jersey, but I think this was the right decision. First of all the game will look great with the orange versus white matchup, and it also saves the white version of this Oilers jersey for the future in case the they get to host another Heritage Classic game in Edmonton.

For the Alumni Game the teams will wear the jerseys 1980 throwback jerseys (pictured above). I don't know if they'll be in the edge cut or not, the Jets Alumni jersey worn on the stage was in the old CCM cut, while the Oilers jersey was just their current home jersey.
What are you thoughts on these jersey? Personally, I like them all.
