0043: A Fool for the Moose
Taking a break from Winter Classic Weekends to celebrate April Fool's Day! Last year when we found out the Atlanta Thrashers were headed to Winnipeg, the rumors flew. We'd heard from Mark Chipman that he had no desire to resurrect the Jets and, in fact, every intention to carry on the successful branding of his AHL team, the Manitoba Moose. But we were fooled. On Draft Day, it was confirmed the franchise would be named the Jets. Still, Tyler Rodgers has sent in what may have been a great upgrade to the Moose brand. Shame we'll never see it go beyond this page.

Well done concept, but that fooling still doesn't hold a candle to your prank a few years back when you said that Rbk Edge jerseys were done after 1 year and Nike was going to take over.
No, and the best part about that was having people believe that Project Runway would actually be handling the redesigning process. Hilarious! Link
Not a fan of the colour sceme, but the logos are great. Would've given this concept a max 5 out of 5 stars if it featured the AHL team's colours instead. But as is, it gets a 4 out of 5 stars from me. Good job.
P.S: I remeber that prank Chris, yeah that was pretty funny.
Pretty nice actually. Looks a lot like the latest Thrashers unis (guess thats that point), but even better. I think this could be quite a workable on ice look.
The secondary "M" logo is just plain awesome.
WOW! This concept is unbelievable! Awesome work Tyler
People actually like the logo? The moose looks like some sort of Alien with antlers and a massive snout/nostrils. No way is this an upgrade on the original jerseys/logo/colours.
The more I look at this the more I think it's effing incredible. Almost makes me with they didn't go with the Jets. These jerseys are beautiful.
hahah lol chirs about the rbk edge prank...and these look excellent, they remind me of the SJ sharks a bit with the striping patterns and the usage of orange trim, but man do they look awesome!
