regarding defunct teams, usually someone still owns the rights to the name, although actual trademarks may have fallen out of protection -- nm - zork Jun 24, 09:40 11
- Bring back the Portland Rosebuds!!! -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jun 24, 10:35

- The trademarks have been owned by the league for years and Bettman has essentially (and surprisingly) gifted them to True North if they want it. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 09:41 8
  - welcome to winnipegjets.com -- (link) - Beaker Jun 24, 09:44 6
    - Can't remember what the official URL will be. (A cheque might settle that other one.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 09:45 5
      - all of the official team sites are sub-domains of nhl.com. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 09:46 2
        
        but, as an example, I think canucks.ca redirects to that subdomain -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 09:49
        
        *nods* -- nm - zork Jun 24, 09:47
      - winnipegjets.ca seems like a good bet -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 09:46 1

        whoa whoa whoa now. let's not make statements we can't back up....nm - x Jun 24, 09:58
        
        Do or do not. There is no try ... in your case, we're expecting "do not" -- nm - zork Jun 24, 09:45
- and the owner was friends with the owner of the NY Jets IIRC. -- nm - zork Jun 24, 09:39 4
  - This is, in fact, the true answer. (Partially influenced by a junior team already going by the name as well.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 09:40 3
    - back in the time when they were popular (esp. with Nameth playing) -- nm - zork Jun 24, 09:41 1
      - Aerospace is actually a huge industry in town and a major air force base is here as well. There's actually some good ties that developed. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 09:43
    - Manitoba Mooses! -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 09:40

- but it has *buzz* -- nm - zork Jun 24, 09:41
- You have a point with Roughriders, though. That joke needs more traction in this discussion. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 09:34
It's a flyover province -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 09:32
