The Winnipeg "Team" Appreciation Thread.

[Mooche]

I'm so game for the Warriors. I wish we could make that happen.

Jets
Warriors
Falcons

In that order for me.

now we need the coyotes to hamilton!!

 

[Mooche]

Hamilton over Quebec City.

 

[TTN2810]

Yep ^
Screw the french

 

[Mr.Baller]

Quebec should get the next team .. Even me I hate the quebecors .. but they deserve a team the same way as winnipeg

 

[Mooche]

It'll be Quebec City guaranteed if a team comes back up for sale. Las Vegas and Kansas City is just meh for an NHL team. Vegas will never have a sports team, though.

 

[TTN2810]

When are they gonna name our teaaam!!>!>!>!!?!
GAHD!
They said after the ticket drive and thats been years.
I also want the draft.

 

[Mooche]

They are saying the name will be said and made public before the draft.

 

[The Guid]

It's gotta be. Unless Gary Bettman calls the Winnipeg "Team" to the podium for their pick lol

 

[Mooche]

I know, lol, that'd be pretty classic shit.. But yeah, I just think it has to the be the Jets.

This management had to know that the city of Winnipeg not only wanted the team, but their name with it. It just seems like their would be SO much backlash, and they would have known that going into this.

 

[The Guid]

Also, pretty sure Phoenix couldn't care less about the Jets name so they would let Winnipeg use it

 

[Mooche]

And Thompson could pull the strings. He's the wealthiest owner in sports, I am sure whatever the price may currently be for the name, he could make that happen.


The NHL already fucked us over on the re-location fee anyways..

 

[TTN2810]

I really doubt it will be the Jets Mooche.
Chipman was saying he doesn't want it because they don't own the history of the old Jets, Phoenix does.
So he said it wouldn't make sense.

My bet is still on the Falcons, like my dad had heard from the source on 92.

 

[Mooche]

Falcons has been talked about everywhere.. It's not just 92 now.

Chipman is the man doing all the talking, but behind the scenes it's Thompson who has the money and ultimately makes the OK. I'm pretty sure Thompson had been quoted of saying he liked the Jets name.

It's going to be the Jets. It has to be.

 

[TTN2810]

I know but the 92 source like I said even had the colors picked out.
Right now I feel there's like a 15% chance it's the Jets.

 

[RipCity32]

As a casual hockey fan, I think it would be so dumb to not make them the Winnipeg Jets.

Classic Jets colours >>>

 

[TTN2810]

I think we all do.
But it is a different franchise.

It's not like I'm a fan of any of the names that are being thrown around though.

 

[Mooche]

I mean, the blue and red is just so vibrant and classic. I could see if the name Jets is kept the same, a completely new style logo though. Obviously. I would be so happy with that.

 

[TTN2810]

I would rather a new logo/jersey if we were the Jets.

I really hope our colors aren't brown and gold lol.
