Calling Kimblebee! Come take a look!

I was shopping at my local Kohls Department store in Wisconsin today.
Look what was in the clearance section!!
Really random merchandise for around here...plus there were no other teams, just the Winnipeg Jets!

(I recognized the logo from your avatar)

Sometimes stores receive the most random items. DH saw and bought a Kansas City Royals baseball cap at a TJ Maxx in New Jersey.

I am so honoured to have a whole thread dedicated to me LOL

That is definitely random. As far as I know we don’t have any players from Wisconsin.

So, did you buy it?

No, but I could pick it up for you, if you like!

Thank you for the offer but we have more than enough choices here.

It was probably ordered online and returned to the store. So rather than shipping it back to the warehouse, they are selling it in the store.

About 25 years ago, in a souvenir shop in Myrtle Beach, SC, I saw a random Calgary Flames NHL magnet. There were no other hockey or other sports teams magnets, just the normal beach-theme scenes. Of course I had to buy it. The cashier said the magnet was mixed within the shipping carton with other merchandise received.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

I didn't realize that was the logo of an NHL team.

The Canada Fighterjets? Never heard of them.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Ok, so the Winnipeg Jets. But in my defense, I know the name of like maybe 5 NHL teams. Flyers, Penguins, Devils, Bruins, Maple Leafs.

Redwings? Is that a team?

The Kings? Or is that basketball?

I suppose thats possible. There were 4 of them though.

Yes, the Detroit Red Wings are a team. The L.A. Kings are a team too although I think there’s an NBA team Sacramento Kings.

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

I had to look.

I had to look.

All are welcome on the Winnipeg Jets appreciation thread LOL

Yes, the Detroit Redwings

And the Chicago Blackhawks

That's about all of the teams I know lol, and at that, I only know them because Detroit and Chicago have a large base of fair weather fans who follow (worship) winning teams until they are no longer winning, but while they are still relevant, people trip all over themselves to one-up each other in who likes them more. The end result is jacked-up ticket pricing and fan gear EVERY. WHERE. YOU. LOOK.

Apparently, Detroit and Chicago have had some pretty long runs in the the past 20 years.

 

[kimblebee]

Well, after tonight we all need crying towels.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Well, after tonight we all need crying towels.

Sorry to hear about the loss.

(I did check first, in case it was the local team here that beat you, but it wasn't. )

 

[RedAngie]

Sorry about that. I was hoping the Jets would advance. Game 5 loss with 15 seconds remaining was a heart breaker.

Calgary also flamed out. (Pun intended)

Canada's hopes rest with the Toronto Maple Leafs, tied with the St. Louis Blues for the longest Cup drought in the NHL.

It would be nice to have a Canadian team win but it’s really, really hard to cheer for Toronto. The national stations all cram Toronto down our throats 24/7.
