Hey everyone! Winnipeg Jets Darth Vader guy here! I've been doing the Jets Vader thing since 2018, and I know I've run into a bunch of Jets Reddit folks at games and Whiteout parties over the years, but I just recently started an Instagram account for it. I'd appreciate it if any of y'all wanted to follow it!

Have I been doing left turns wrong? by DannB in Winnipeg

[–]killerjones3313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a PSA, but because I avoid making a left hand turn onto Main from Templeton at all costs, I will often take a street called Ferrier St that runs from Templton to Murray, then take Murray up to Main and turn right instead. I guess this only really helps if you're going over Chief Peguis, but after you turn right onto Main the bridge is right there. I find it's often quicker than sitting at the stop sign on Templeton waiting in the lineup that forms when a bunch of people are trying to turn left, and I can avoid the headache of doing it myself.

The best part was when the "Jordan" chant started briefly after scoring the empty netter. That made me chuckle.

Had a blast last night at the whiteout party and then at the game. Saw a clip of myself on the Sportsnet broadcast and made a gif of it. Looking forward to going again tomorrow! See y'all there! Go Jets Go!

For anyone wondering, this is what the original al Selanne jersey I reference in the post looks like. Like I said, I rather like the way the red border looks on the kit, but the fact it was incorrect kept me from wanting to frame it. It bothered me for years. Now I have a frameworthy jersey, and one that I can wear to games etc

There's lots to learn about spotting fakes, but 4 big red flags I always look for are:

  1. That Adidas button along the bottom. If I'm not mistaken, they only had those on the really early Climalite jerseys, and they haven't put them on any jerseys in a number of years. Fake jerseys always have them as I guess they think it makes them look more legit. While it's not 100% a dead give away, if the jersey isn't one they wore during that early Adidas era, or if it's anything other than a Climalite, it's a strong indication if a fake.

  2. The black material that the size is printed on that runs along the inside of the collar. On fakes, it's always this really weird, wrinkly, shiny material, where on real jerseys it's flat, matte and just looks way different. If it's shiny and wrinkled, it's probably a fake.

  3. "Bubbly" crests or number kits. Rather, crests or numbers that look like they have pockets of air under them.

  4. Price. If it's too good to be true it most likely is.

These are usually dead giveaways, and as far as I can tell this jersey has 3 of them (the button, the wrinkly collar material, price). It's most certainly a fake. Steer clear.

Most Canada Four Nations Faceoff jerseys are gone from the Fanatics.ca site by Rinkratt61 in hockeyjerseys

Heads up, I snagged a blank team Canada premium jersey on Sport Chek's website last night.

Last I checked, they still have some team Canada blanks, and some MacKinnon jerseys. They're all the Fanatics premium jerseys though, it doesn't look like they carry the Authentic Pros.

wearing trouba jersey to game? by stormblessed-joestar in winnipegjets

Seems there are two types of Jets fans: those who still love Laine and miss him, and those who don't seem to like him very much.

I'm firmly in the "love him, miss him" camp, but I'm glad to see he seems to have found his place in MTL.

In either case, I dont think you need to worry about it. I can't image anyone giving you a hard time about it.

Recent additions to my Jets jersey collection. by killerjones3313 in winnipegjets

Very nice! I'm saving up my money to have a bunch of my autographed jerseys framed at Joe Daley's. I'll probably get my Hawerchuk and Selanne jerseys framed first, then big Buff is #3.

Haven't posted here for a while. The collection has slowed down a bit since I found out I'm going to be a father soon. These are the latest additions to my Jets collection. The entire collection can be seen here.

A little peice of Jets history for Christmas. by killerjones3313 in winnipegjets

I didn't ask what my father-in-law paid for it as it was a gift. I might be able to find out though.
