Go Jets! Go!
the NHL is returning to Winnipeg!
I bought this shirt a few years ago when I was in Toronto. My buddy and I were trying to pick up items of teams that are now considered "vintage." I know I picked up this shirt (which is like wearing a blanket) and a Nordiques jersey. My buddy picked up two different Jets hats. Greatness!
