what about the Manitoba Bisons, or would the UofM using that preclude the hockey team from doing so...could be confusing if nothing else...

You know, on the main page someone mentioned something akin to soccer - Manitoba Hockey Club or Manitoba HC. I haven't really been too keen to engage in the whole naming thing (although I like both Falcons and Victorias for their heritage and championship-ness), but I sort of really like Manitoba HC. People would inevitably adopt some sort of a nickname for the team, I know, but I think Manitoba HC is kinda classy.

flippy, i disagree with you. i prefer an actual name attached to the location. but thats just me....... I get that, and I don't anticipate my thoughts would be very widely popular. Heck, I'm not really even an avid soccer fan, I just think it's an interesting idea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_football_club_nicknames_in_the_United_KingdomSo, for example, Manitoba HC might end up getting called the 'Tobans by locals.

I hope there's a naming contest.
My entry will be Winnipeg Warhawks.

Wow! There has been a spike of interest in the petition as our goal seems to be getting closer and closer. I'm convinced that there are a lot of people out there that want the name to be Winnipeg Jets. Let's just hope that True North gets the message before it's too late.

Where's this petition? I will sign it but doubt it will change anything at this point. I think TN have their plan already.

I think TN have their plan already. www.gopetition.com/petition/39649.htmlEverything we have heard suggests TNSE has already come up with a plan for a different name; but the though of most people who signed this petition is, that it can't hurt to let them know what their customer base feels on the matter. The majority of people aren't trying to say they wouldn't support a team with a different name (obviously), but just to say that we would be disapointed at some level. The way I see it, I can't hurt and it's not too late until the day of the announcement because they can always change their minds.

I keep seeing the 'Falcons' thrown around on this board. Was it a rumored name or just a name users happen to like? More or less just something people on here like, only rumours I have heard are Manitoba _________. There's been tons of idea's thrown around, to me my top 99 choices are "Jets" but after that I'd say Mustangs based on some cool logo's I've seen from posters on this site. Woops - Wrong thread! If anyone wants to discuss further: returnofthejets.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=polls&action=display&thread=10594&page=7

Manitoba Manipogos!
We used to have a football team called the Winnipeg Winnipegs. Manitoba Manitobans?

A lot of rumors indicate that the team might be called the Manitoba Falcons. Now obviously the jets would be my number once choice but I wouldnt have any problem with Falcons. Especially given the local and international significance of the name.
