I believe the N.H.L owns the rights to the Name "Jets", however the fact that the seat colours are moose colours is irrelevant. It is not a factor at all. Teams change uniform colours all the time for marketing reasons and i dought they change the seat covers as well. Plus remember when the Browns moved to Baltimore? when Clevland got another Franchise the were called the Browns again. I would of course love it if the new team was called the Jets but call 'em the Winnipeg Chipmans and i'll support the team. Just give us a team

Whether you realize it or not, the Moose have become apart of our community, we should consider ourselves fortunate to have them, Hear Me Out,Suppose The Moose never landed here, I guess there might not have been a real need to build a new arena, for what, a few concerts yeaaaaaah, They actually lend Great credibility to this city as a HOCKEY TOWN that had been done a injustice, we have as a result been able to stay close to the door and hopefully be able to barge right through when it again opens, do you think we'd be a top contender right now without them?EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, it's everthing, without them we're just a bunch of bleeding hearts that can't let go! I would like to see the Moose become OUR AHL affiliate if ever we aquire a new team, and then send them to Regina or Better yet QUEBEC CITY with a big Thank You. Could be worse, they could be Phoenix's affiliate, Besides this team is a winner, and may pull something off yet, anything wrong with that! You are greatly exaggerating the community's love for the Moose. My son is 9 years old. He was not born until 1 month after the Jets left. When I mention the Jets he just says the Jets suck. I ask him why he says that and he replies with: "The Moose are better. I would'nt want the jets". I then ask him what his favorite team is and he says it's Tampa Bay. I ask him why and he inocently replies: "Because that's where Nikolai Khabibulin plays". I asked him why the Moose are not his favorite team and he said because they are not in the NHL. I had to ask the next question while trying not to laugh really, really loud. "If the Jets had Nikolai Khabibulin would you want the team here instead of the the Moose"? "Yes" he said. That's when I told him that Khabibulin Played here. In closing, my point is 2 fold. 1.Kids like the Moose because that's all they know and thier parents are used to it because they take thier kids to games. 2.Kids love the NHL more than the Moose and just look at any 9 or 10 year old boys wall posters and you'll see NHL players not AHL players. They will all love the Jets but for now the Moose are important to them and many others in this city. Lastly, I assure you I'm not one of them. ;D
