Jersey Fouls is our ongoing exploration of the rules and etiquette for proper hockey jersey creation and exhibition. If you spot what you think may be a foul in your arena, email a photo to us at puckdaddyblog@yahoo.com for inclusion in future installment.

Last night's Winnipeg Jets game at the Vancouver Canucks has been called one of the most entertaining contests at Rogers Arena this season, partially because there was a large contingent of Jets fans that invaded the place and decided to make their presence known.

Obviously, this is some kind of "honoring the captains/welcome back to the NHL Winnipeg" FrankenTributeJersey, but is just doesn't work. The logos sync up awkwardly, and the numbers on the back look horrific.

Plus, after realignment, these cats are going to be conference rivals. If it's not a Foul now, it will be. Oh, it will be …
