If the NHL came back to Winnipeg but the Manitoba Moose name was chosen would you chant Go Moo..(I Can't say it) Go? Would you accept the name, wear the Jerseys, cheer on the new Moose?
We all know it would be cheaper. The seats are Moose themed, it would be easier on the owners wallets a small bit.
But, the Jets name is so known by Winnipeg hockey fans. Also, the older fans might not accept it because the Jets name is what they embraced. Also, re-upholster the seats, no big deal.

This is ridiculous... it'll never happen.
Moose = Vancouver Canucks Farm Team. They'll forever carry that stigma.
I don't care if the team isn't called the "Jets"... I just want a freakin NHL team in Winnipeg... NOW.

I agree, absolutley not.
Regarding the seats, who cares what color they are, but anyway for those that do, if as we all expect that every game is a sellout, who is going to see the color of the seats anyway.

Are people actually saying they WOULDN'T go to any games or support the team if it was called "Moose" instead of "Jets"? That's ridiculous!

Hey, it was a poll. I never said I would accept it.
The Jets name is something that I would like attached to the next NHL team in Winnipeg.
If the Jets aren't chosen, some other name that goes with Winnipeg. NOT MANITOBA MOOSE.

Yeah. Whoever said that they wouldn't support the new team if it was named the Manitoba Moose are only half-hearted hockey fans in reality. Not supporting the team because of the name? That's lame.

Would you be happy if the Toronto Maple Leafs changed their name to the Ontario Beaver Patrol on a whim one day?

For myself, I misread the question. Of course I would accept the NHL here, I thought the question was would I accept the Moose as their name, well no, unless that meant no NHL.

Similarily, how many people in Winnipeg care about or even KNOW about the Moose?
