The second of what'll be three teams on our list that made the jump to the NHL in 1979, the "original" Winnipeg Jets were another WHA powerhouse—in fact defeating Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers for the rebel league's final Avco Cup championship.
And when they arrived, they arrived in style.
The Jets were competitively dreadful upon taking NHL ice and posted one of the league's all-time worst records when they went 9-57-14 in a second 80-game season, but soon stockpiled enough draft picks to turn things around and become a postseason regular.
They always looked good, though, making the move with the red, white and blue WHA logo that featured the letter J as a hockey stick and the image of a jet in a bubble made to look like a puck. The red accents on the jersey were particularly drawn out on the road blues, which were consistently among the best in both leagues.
