Oh wow, so it's pretty much 100% happening. What's even cooler is that it if that's legit it appears they'll go with the Nordiques name and logo.
If the rumors are true (which they very well may not be), True North was planning on a new team name and were going to trot out the whole "New team, new identity" thing to the fans, but when they saw the fan reaction to a possible new name they reversed their decision.
To me the only thing disappointing about the way the Jets came back was their ECHL style, plain jersey's with a very neutral navy blue.
I know the Nordiques obviously won't do the exact same jersey as before because they'll want to capture as much jersey revenue as possible, but it'd be nice if they at least kept the same logo and similar colour scheme where the Jets reinvented everything in the most boring way.
