For the logos and designs are you refering to the Jetsowner campaign or the NHL franchise we will get. If it's the NHL franchise we should not only concentrate on logos that deal with Jets but we should also consider other names like Blizzard or Maroons since there is a good chance our new NHL team will not be named the Jets.

I agree. The new name HAS to be the Jets. It won't be hard to acquire the rights to the name, and besides, I think if you took a fan poll, a vast majority would say they want the Jets name back.

I definitely want the NHL to be the Jets. It would be weird to have all this Jets merchandise with no Jets. It would also suck to have to go out and buy new merchandise.

Yeah there is a possibility that they wont be called jets *gulp* But i will keep praying for the best....
I could try and whip up a logo, but i doubt it would be worthy of putting on a Jersey... There was a topic on the forum before it was rebooted with some really good looking logos on it... dunno if those guys still post, o if they have the files anymore.

I see absolutely no reason why the name cannot be had from the NHL for next to nothing.
I also see no reason why we cannot use it again, and keep the uniform and logo relatively similar. As I've mentioned before, I believe that the logo, and the uniform, are still among the best of the NHL.

There's a reason why Jets merchandise is allowed to be sold and profitted by the NHL. They couldn't do that with out the name rights or an agreement to use the name. Either case the name could be used again because it is either owned by the city of Winnipeg or the NHL itself. I believe it was given to the city as part of the sale agreement to the new owners that moved the team to Phoenix.
I recall that being part of the terms of the deal that if a team returned we would have ownership of the name.
Also I agree the logo and uniforms should be similar to what they were. There's also a good reason why Jets merchandise sells more then 28 of the other active NHL teams, and it's not just cuz we miss our team.

True the Jets name should be used again once we get our team, it is a great way to keep tradition and be proud of our past.
I don't know where the Jets merchandise ranks in the world amongst other NHL merchandise but I am sure it would be an interesting find, maybe someone can do some research on this topic so Darren can post it somewheres on his website.
If we cannot get the Jets name for some reason then I suggest the names Golden Jets or Blizzard should considered as alternatives.

This is why I compared the situation with the Cleveland Browns with us. The NFL seized the name and marketing rights to the Browns and allowed Cleveland to maintain all of their team records, their color rights and retired numbers as well as their claims to the championships the previous Browns won and of course, their team name. The Baltimore Ravens have no official records prior to 1996 and their only recorded championship that they are allowed to lay claim to is their 2001-02 Super Bowl win.
The Coyotes are treated in a similar fashion as the Ravens. Since it wasn't the community's fault that we lost our team, why should we have to be stuck with a wack expansion name and have to find new ways to make teal and purple work? We never should have lost our team and hense we deserve to have our name, colors and records back. The NHL claiming the name Jets is a sign that they would be willing to do that for us. I say have faith in the NHL this time as they wouldn't have reclaimed the name Jets unless it was possible that the NHL would one day come back here. (Phoenix was very close to keeping the name Jets but the NHL bought the naming rights from Shenkerow before the move.)
The NHL merch is a way of keeping the name warm for us so it is fresh when we do return.

The City of Ottawa also brought back the Senators name when hockey returned to the city. There is only one name for an NHL team in this city. The Jets.

I agree the name should be the Jets. Tradition is important. I learned that when I both played and coached the mighty Canadiens. I would hope some small changes were made to the uniforms and logo though. I love the colors, but when they changed the uni's back in the 90's I was disappointed because all they did was take the LA Kings uniform at the time and use Jets colors.

I to agree dat the Jets should be back i the Winnipeg, and they should be named only the Jets. When I played for the Habs, we enjoyed coming to Winnipeg and listening to fans yell Go Habs Go....and then Winnipeg fans drown out and yell Go Jets Go...went on all night. Much fun then

That is true, Guy. Boy if we had you back in the 50's we would have been even more unstoppable than we were. I was especially impressed with Winnipeg when they signed your old friend, Serge Savard in the early 80's. A bold move by what I think was the most skilled heavy weight of all time, one John Ferguson.

Our new marketing strategy in Phoenix is designed more for our target audience : the elderly snow-birds who flee the winters to Arizona.
We got a new big hit, eh. It's a great new pack of videos and chants about more affordable health care and telling punk kids to turn down that rock and roll music. Man does that get the place rocking!
