Pretty reliable source you had there. Not only did the Thrashers become the Winnipeg Jets after all, but the Moose moved to St. John’s (not Saskatoon or Chilliwack). I love the internet.

That said, the Moose logo and colors were actually pretty awesome, and I’m sad that True North went with the Jets just because that’s what the old team was called.

Winnipeg Jets. Keep the blue, red and white colour scheme and maybe add some black and/or gold. Update the logo. Instead of the words Winnipeg and Jets in a circle with a little triangle for a jet,have a jet be 90% of the logo.

Same name, same colours, updated logo= New Jerseys

In reply to vince. Re: Vince... That's fine, you and thousands of others could not cheer for them based on a name and then because of that you could also not cheer for them when they become the Kansas City Whatevers in 5 years

WINNIPEG JETS gets my vote….nothing else works…for example i wont cheer for the following
-manitoba spirited energy? manitoba mighty men?
-winnipeg windchill? ice cold?manitoba frost bite?
-toba tobaginers?winnipeg thunder? (this was a basketball team once i believe…)
-winnipeg wiseguys?
-snow flakes? freeze?
-winnipeg misquitoes? skeeters?
-manitoba black ice? sub zero?
-zombies(we’re home to a deadly disease center)
-manitoba sand baggers? flood fighters? dyke makers?

I really hope its not the manitoba moose… that would be an awful idea, they really should come up with a new name like the Falcons

I know, Atlanta Thrashers were a bad example, Calgary took the flames name.

Why do returning teams have to have a name change? Atlanta Thrashers? Minnesota Wild? Im sure the fans in these cities would have preferred the original names. I know True North would have to pay the NHL for the rights (which in itself is ridiculous, its the Winnipeg Jets, not the NHL Jets) but for once, bring the Jets name to the people. Its what they want. The Jets name has way more recognition than any other name, including the Moose, in Manitoba and across Canada. Ok, you want to sell new jerseys? Change the logo a bit, some new colors, done. The fans will be happy; thats important, right?

Wow Chris, your post was from March….and now the AHL franchise is moving to St. John’s as it was just announced today ( June 10, 2011). It’s a funny coincidence that on The National tonight, the host announced that the St. John’s team would be looking for a new name…..it leads me to believe that the ‘Manitoba Moose’ will be the new team name for the latest addition to the NHL….KUDOS!

Why not call them the Winnipeg Stingers? On the player’s jersey is an image of a huge hockey playing mosquito who uses his stinger to stun any players from the other team while en route to scoring a goal. A good logo for this idea would be ‘The Sting is on ‘. Sounds better than the Manitoba Moosekateers.

It is nice to see another Canadian NHL team but this is not your Winnipeg Jets triumphanly returning to Winnipeg, it is the Atlanta Thrasher moving to Winnipeg. They are the Thrashers NOT the Jets. Jets are long gone, get over it and embrace your new team and put away those moth eaten Jets Jersys. As the new owners own the Moose they may want to use the Moose name but They would be better off creating a new name to sell the new Jersy. I guess we can’t send our developing players to Winnipeg anymore? Go Canucks.

Do you all remember when the Moose’s goalie Johan Hedberg went to play for Pittsburg Penguins? He still wore his Moose Helmut and the fans from Pittsburg went ape-crap buying Moose merchanise. I love the Manitoba Moose name it’s very Canadian & people will remember it. It’s a hell of a lot better than a duck or a penquin!

I read some of the comments about the moose logo being the way to go…but i think the jets logo is classy. And to the few who said the moose logo was the best branded in the AHL…i beg to differ…The Hershey Bears are the gold standard of the AHL.
