Moose is actually a more marketable name, and have a nicer colour scheme than the Jets.
How many red, blue, white teams are out there?
The Moose probably sell more jerseys outside Canada than the Jets ever did.

This isn't even worth discussing.
It will never happen.

I would have to agree with comments made by Jets.
I know that we would like to have the name "Winnipeg Jets" used again. However, the name "Manitoba Moose" could be a good alternative especially from a marketing point of view.
Forget the fact that there is currently an affiliation with the Vancouver Canucks. The Manitoba Moose already have name recognition including being mentioned on HNIC many times. They can also boast having one of the best looking logos in hockey (since changing to the aggressive looking moose). The colour scheme of the uniforms looks good along with the unique antler stylized numbers. There is great marketing potential there.
During the Jets existence in the past, there were always some people complaining that the team was called "Winnipeg" instead of "Manitoba" and others who didn't like the blue, red and white colour scheme because the colours were too "American". This would take care of both issues right from the start.
If the name Winnipeg Jets was not chosen (or could not be used), I would rather the new NHL team take advantage of the marketing potential available from the Moose logo and uniforms than to go with a totally new name. Besides, wouldn't it be great to see the Manitoba Moose defeat the Vancouver Canucks!

Don't get me wrong, I want the NHL back in Winnipeg, I just think we should give them a new name, The NHL Jets didn't really go anywhere in the playoffs and how many years of grief did they give us, a good example of bringing back an old name, The Cleveland Browns, had maybe few good years, moved to Baltimore, Got a new team with the same old name and they haven't done much, I say start fresh, or Use the Moose Name, Hey they at least made it past the second round of the playoffs, and personally the Moose have one of the most professional looking symbols and uniforms in the AHL, and When a team comes back to Winnipeg, it should be for everyone in this Province cause they lost the Jets too not just Winnipeg.

I agree with you Death, Jets no matter what! The Moose will make a fine farm team for us won't they, perhaps in Fargo!

We have stuck behind the jets this long... so when we get them back there is no other suited name... JETS. We will see em get the Lord Stanley and we will be beaming one day when the cup says JETS. Stick with it and it pays off.. why change what we fought so hard to get back?

Whoa, Don't you all remember there was a rumor going around earlier this year that Chipman was planning on buying the Jets name. If he doesn't get an NHL franchise word has it that he was planning on renaming the Moose. It was a rumor though.
