I am guessing they might go with the Manitoba ________ instead of Winnipeg ________ only prediction I am making. If I am right dont need any pats on the back.

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Manitoba Moose makes sense, too much sense.

I hope not. To me, the Moose will always have that Vancouver association. Plus it might mess with the mind of Mick E. Moose.

[Goalie]

Don't think it's moose. Might be airforce themed like the big club

[Atomic]

I think they will keep Manitoba in the name regardless of whether it is Moose or not.

What goes good with Manitoba?

... an enormous dosage of antidepressants?

[kelownabomberfan]

What goes good with Manitoba?

Mosquitoes?

Monarchs, Voyageurs, Chipmans?

[Goalie]

Manitoba Falcons. Or Thrashers just cuz screw Atlanta

[The Unknown Poster]

Bears.

[New_Earth_Mud]

Sundogs

[Mark H.]

Hogs or Porkchops

[Goalie]

Bears make sense. Still think it's air force related tho.

Have to disagree on the air force thing. That would be a whole lotta air force stuff.

 

I think they may keep it the Moose to kinda bring everything back home.

 

Manitoba Moose.... But in Jets colors.

Surely Zinger will push for Moose and they might do it. You'd think there is a lot of nostalgic feelings around true north for the moose name. They already own it. Have a logo etc.

Moose or bears. Bears for the same reason. Have a logo already. The fact there is already an AHL Bears is a problem though.

There's a good chance it is Moose. That was the Chipman's preferred name for Jets v2.

CheapSkates.

It represents Winnipegers because we're known to be cheap, and "skates" for the hockey aspect.

[gbill2004]

Or Beavers or Polar Bears.

[Goalie]

Winnipeg whiteout

[Mark F]

some good suggestions here.

 

[Floyd]

Manitoba Ice Bears

[SPuDS]

Manawinni polar moose

Moose was Zingers preferred name but true north had a new name and logo developed before Chipman bowed to public pressure and went with Jets. Given the short time frame I would suspect it's a pretty-existing name and logo. So it's either moose or bears.

[Noeller]

so  Moose it is....welcome back!
