Canes fan here, its wild that people dont like us wearing Whalers jerseys. Its a cool event and pays homage to where we came from. We arent "profiting off another team", its still the same franchise. Its not like we are wearing Thrashers jerseys. The Whalers are a part of our team's history and we celebrate it with pride.
Love it or hate it, the Avalanche have the right to the branding since they own the likeness and former team name of the Nordiques. Same with Stars/North Stars, Canes/Whalers, Jets/Thrashers, and so on.
Even the French broadcast here in Montreal had only good things to say about these jerseys, even the people in Quebec City were happy to see them and to hear that Joe Sakic was trying to play a game in Quebec City in the future. But people rather complain and be irritated for whatever reasons they can. Just be grateful you got to see this jersey back in use after 30 years
What's odd is I've seen exactly the opposite from most Quebec fans. They support this fully. It seems much of the outrage is either vastly overblown or just straight up manufactured so people have "content" to make videos to rage bait people

So New Jersey may wear the Rockies jersey. It's just marketing and stupid.

Dude,try speaking like an adult. You sound like a damn 4th grader. Grow up

As an avalanche fan I would proudly sport Nordigues gear. They did give us a first year Stanley cup as a team.
