Congrats Winnipeg. Great to see, just for the love of everything good, don't call them the Manitoba Polar Bears. Jets! Jets! Jets!

But on topic here: I hope they name the team the Beavers or something equally funny. Maybe the Loonies after the Canadian Mint.

The Winnipeg Mosquitoes...

Seriously, congratulations Winnipeg!

When I got home from work, I had to watch the press conference before it finally sunk in that THE JETS ARE BACK BABY! gave me chills!

Congrats Winnipeg!!

I dunno why I like Winnipeg Lakers or Manitoba Lakers,

People in other towns can say "The Lakers are playing in town tonight!"

Now I'm thinking of the worst possible names for the team that has local connections....

Manitoba Golden Boys

The Winnipeg Forks

The Pooh

The Winnipeg Windchill Factor

....

Congrats to Winnipeg. Well deserved!

Only The Lonely.. · #**1134** Posted **Jun 1, 2011, 3:17 AM**

The old Jets jersey is on and it feels good boys..

It could fit a little better, didn't have quite the beer belly when I was 13.

Now to celebrate..

mezzanine · #**1136** Posted **Jun 1, 2011, 5:43 AM**

Congrats!

And it has to be "jets".

And it absolutely has to be the original logos.

i have a dislike for the "modernized" one from the 1990s...

How about 'the Winnipeg spirited energy'

I thought you guys stopped doing that stupid "spirited energy" thing?

It's Manitoba Time, people.

Congrats Winnipeg! Can't wait to watch the first Canucks game against the Jets next season.

Welcome back to the Smythe Division Winnipeg. The rest of Western Canada now despises you.
