Alright guys....
Let's play a game, shall we?
If you guys could rename a team(like the Flames, Oilers, Leafs, Flyers etc, keeping the same colours), swap team names, OR could entirely rebrand an entire team(jersey's AND name) which top 3 teams would you choose, and why??
I'll start.
3. Rebrand Dallas Stars - Texas Tornadoes; can keep the green, but add the black back in in some way(secondary colour) and they would be some sleek threads, also kinda unites the State, sounds cooler.
2. Rename New York Islanders - New York/Brooklyn Saints; kinda opposite to rival Devils. Sounds a lot more natural than Islanders as well.
1. Swap team names Florida <-> Carolina <-> Buffalo - Carolina Sabres, Florida Hurricanes and Buffalo Panthers. Keeps to them weather theme in FLA, as well as gives Buffalo a better logo to work with. Carolina benefits, in some way, gives new life, there.
Doesn't
have to be 3, 3 is just the max. NHL teams only. Can use any name in the AHL too, if you think it'd work better.
