For those of you following professional sports generally, and hockey in particular, you now know that Winnipeg has a new NHL team called the Winnipeg Jets. The “new” Jets recently unveiled their updated logo which you can see compared to the old logo above. Now, the “new” Jets are not to be confused with the former NHL franchise which entertained hockey crazed Canadians over two decades. No, the "original" Jets team left for Arizona in 1996 in what can only be deemed a Gretzky-esque tragedy. (Hockey in Arizona; how could it go wrong?) The current Winnipeg Jets are in fact the former Atlanta Thrashers.

Now, pro sports franchises jumping cities are not a new thing and it's often a ridiculously confusing ordeal. For you baseball fans, we have the former Washington Senators who eventually became the Minnesota Twins. However, when the old Senators became the new Twins, an expansion team named the Senators remained in Washington. This team eventually left to become the Texas Rangers. We also have the Montreal Expos who then became the Washington Nationals. For football fans, we have the Cleveland Browns who became the Baltimore Ravens in 1996. This was, of course, after the former Baltimore Colts had defected to Indianapolis in 1984. Cleveland was then awarded a new franchise in 1999 that was known as the Browns. We also have the Cleveland Rams who became the Los Angeles Rams who became the St. Louis Rams.
