What is the Winnipeg Jets Whiteout? Looking at one of the oldest hockey playoff traditions

The fervor surrounding the Winnipeg Jets this season can be attributed to both the fans and the franchise as the tradition "Winnipeg Jets' Whiteout" has made a classic comeback this post-season.

The team's success this year is powered by its well-built squad and top-notch performances from its core players. The Jets have enjoyed a dominating season, finishing third overall in the league.

The "Winnipeg Jets Whiteout" originated in 1987 when the franchise asked its fans to wear white clothing to home games. Since then, it has become a sensational tradition.

The "Whiteout" also began in response to the Calgary Flames' fans wearing red to support their team.

This aspect of the Jets took off in a fashionable manner, becoming a spectacle in the City of Winnipeg and attracting attention as well, much like a jet taking off.

After the original Winnipeg Jets organization relocated and became the Phoenix Coyotes (now in Utah), the Winnipeg Jets were resurrected with the relocation of the Atlanta Thrashers, which had existed for approximately 12 years.
