    Winnipeg...(Jets?) Prop

    Bodog has a prop whether or not Winnipeg will be called the Jets.

    If you like free $$, bank "yes".

    Manitoba Jets is leading the way for now, although, there is a contest that will be run soon to "name the team"....

    I think the Jets' is the way to go too.

    get em!

    The prop is only for the nickname, so Winnipeg or Manitoba is irrelevant. The organization is getting a lot of pressure from the media and the fans to be called the Jets and the club already stated they are going to be doing some focus-group type research before a decision is made. I'd be shocked if they went with something else...

    nhl has rights to jets name. Probably depends how much nhl wants for the name.

    I'm guessing they'd have to buy the name from the NHL

    unless they leave it up to a vote by the fans (who i think would unanimously choose the jets) im sure the suits would come up with some kind of weird name that involves the word "jets" in it thinking itll give them a new look but keep some of the history. polar jets, super jets, moose fightin jet pilots(i think this could be a sweet jersey eh?...maybe not) then eventually theyll change it to just the jets. i wonder if bodog would still honour this bet if it happened. i wish i took the prop bet "will they sell 13,000 tickets by june __" i just heard over 5000 are sold, and it hasnt even been made available to the general public yet

    They really should change the name.

    Force the Peggers to shell out the $$ for the new jersey

    1st - even if they do change the name fans will still wear their Jets jerseys to the game

    2nd - if they keep the "Jets" they will without a doubt update the look to something more modern and still reap all the benefits of people buying the new jersey

    It would be absolutely dumb to re-brand the "Jets". Everybody loves them...even non-Winnipeg fans. Even the jersey is still one of the more popular ones in league history...

    They won't be called the Jets.

    Changing to a new name would mean a better economy for the city, Everyone will have to buy new gear.

    I like the Wolves or Falcons. I think it will be the Falcons.
