Seattle's AHL team name by the looks of it won't be firebirds. Trademark of it has been rejected due to being too similar to a OHL team in Flint Michigan that has the same name.
I expect you to be wrong....so wrongI expect the Flint Firebirds to be re-located sometime in the future.
How 'bout the "Palm Springs Melts"? Or the "Palm Springs Boils"?"The AHL’s Palm Springs site has updated its tagline from “We got Fire, Bring on the Ice” to “We got the heat, Bring on the ice.” ... So the Palm Springs Sun?
@Avsrule2002 : Seattle figgered the way your area's hockey organization keeps climbing up the ladder every few years, there was a good chance they'd be in the NHL next year.An expansion AHL team filed a trademark for the name "Eagles" when they are going to play in the same division as the Colorado Eagles. Lol ...
I like the Palm Springs Sun.
"The AHL’s Palm Springs site has updated its tagline from “We got Fire, Bring on the Ice” to “We got the heat, Bring on the ice.”
TOO CLOSE TO Stockton's moniker, and there's already THUNDERBIRDS in SpringfieldSo why not the Palm Spring Heatbirds?
disagree, here's why: they rejected Firebirds, did they or did they not, which hasn't been used in the AHL by any ownership since the late 70s, Darryl.... if Flint objects to the Firebirds moniker, you think SOMEONE else would if you read the case summary of the USPTO, as to why this name was rejected...There used to be two teams nicknamed Admirals. There are two teams in the ECHL nicknamed Thunder.
"Too close" is meaningless.
Either the Sun or the Earthquakes!
Or the Palm Springs Prickly Heats.So why not the Palm Spring Heatbirds?
If they built the HeatFireBlisterBirds Arena (HFBBA) at the top of San Jacinto Peak (10,833 ft. MSL), they might be able to have the AHL's only retractable roof without fear of the ice melting. Die-hard fans could hike up & back, while the weekend crowd could take the aerial tramway up to the venue & back down to their vehicles. Now THAT would be a dream hockey road trip.When I was in Palms Springs for a week, it was 107 F every day. The DQ was closed in the summer. ...

I went up in the tram in winter, prob. February. Mid-80s down in the valley, played in the snow on top of San Jacinto. On further review, I reckon the wildlife might present a unique challenge to the arena staff. And I didn't see coyote ticket prices on the Tramway website, so I'll go with them hitching a ride on a California condor.We went up there on the advice of my co-worker. It was 70 F. My younger daughter jumped when a coyote howled right after we came off of the tram.
Are coyotes good at climbing? If so, skip the retractable roof idea. They will sneak in and take over some seats.
If not, did the coyotes take the tram to get up there?
Obviously way off topic on the thread here, but since we are discussing coyotes taking trams up mountains... There isn't another meaning for the word "Admirals". The appliance company changed their name to Admiral around the time of WWII when they were supplying electronics to the military. So the team is named for the appliance manufacturer, but the appliance manufacturer is named for the military term for a naval leader. It doesn't have a different meaning.disagree, here's why: they rejected Firebirds, did they or did they not, which hasn't been used in the AHL by any ownership since the late 70s, Darryl.... if Flint objects to the Firebirds moniker, you think SOMEONE else would if you read the case summary of the USPTO, as to why this name was rejected...
Admirals means two different things, too, doesn't it, besides the literal translation of a military designation, that's not why Milwaukee is named that....
