Myself personally wouldn't really care as long as they're an NHL team, but there's a lot of people who would disagree with me.

Really there is believe out there that it should be called the Jets. I tend to agree. The name just fits for us here.

For me The Jets name is sentimental and would love to have it back
But I would like to have an NHL team here before we start to worry about little things like naming and jersey selection

I'm of the mind that we need to get the team first, I do think that they would have to be named the Jets. It's just right that way.
Does anyone have any history as to why we were named the Jets in the first place?

Does anyone have any history as to why we were named the Jets in the first place? I assume because we have a great aerospace industry. But I think we should have been called the Jet Fighters b/c there was already a NFL Jets team in NY. To me it doesn't matter what name we have for our new team, word is the NHL holds the rights to the old Jets name so maybe they will award us that name. I think we should not ignore the great history we had especially back in the WHA.

I believe Ben Hatskin named them the jets because he was good friends with the owner of the NY Jets at the time

And, the team should be called the Jets again if/when this city gets an NHL team because of people like Ben Hatskin, Bobby Hull, Thomas Steen, Dale Hawerchuk, and so many of the other great players who played in this city. It's time to get those Jets banners up in the MTS Centre. And, the only way to do it is to name the NHL team the Jets. And, of course, retire Dale's #10.

That makes sense, a buddy told me it had something to do with the Blue Bombers also.

Huh?? I guess there something about that too or its coincidental why the bombers and jets names are somewhat similar.

Personally, I would lose no sleep if the NHL came back to here and weren't called the jets. It would make it seem more the the historic team that it is. Plus, we could get some snazy new logo that generates us tons of money, like the Ducks did ;D lol

I think its important they be named the Jets again... just think about it: first game back, sold out whiteout crowd, "here are, your Winnipeg Jets!" (oo, goosebumps just typing that!) anything else would sound weird. lets keep the old name. k, i'm done posting for today I promise.

I'd take an NHL team under any name, however I'd still call them the Jets regardless of what name is on the jersey. I'm just stuborn like that.

Thrashers? Wrong feel. I may be tempted to go along with the Winnipeg "Why is it snowing in June". Sorry, just reminiscing to a past holiday. ;D Who owns the 'Jets' name? Did it tag along with Phoenix? GO JETS GO!!! GO NORDS GO!!!
