What Should the new Atlanta NHL team be named?

[Rabid Ranger]

I liked the Thrashers name. Maybe toughen up the bird a bit. Color scheme change as well.

 

[McGarnagle]

The Atlanta Lean

Why?

Quebec Nordiques [NHL] yearly attendance at hockeydb.com

A historical graph of the yearly attendance for the Quebec Nordiques [NHL] of the National Hockey League.

www.hockeydb.com

Quebec City has a population of 600k and drew just as many fans, if not more than Atlanta. A city of 6 million

The only reason Quebec doesn’t still have a team is that there was an American billionaire who wanted to move the team and the Canadian dollar is sometimes really weak.

The Nordiques didn’t have the issues with interest that Atlanta has. The NHL doesn’t need another Coyotes situation.



The Nordiques survived from the WHA days, had issues with being ‘too French’, got their asses kicked by the lindros decision and as the smallest market in (maybe) all of sports still could pull in fans.



Which city would they end up relocating them to? Quebec? Lol

Atlanta has failed twice due to no interest from the population of Atlanta. I don’t think hockey is any more popular their than it was the last two times

Because QC is too small a market, it adds nothing to the league revenue wise, & it will just turn into another Ottawa or Winnipeg. The NHL never wanted the Nordiques in the first place. Hell, the other Canadian owners never lifted a finger to help them out before moving to Denver. Having an NHL team in QC is like having an NFL team in Tuscaloosa, AL.

I like The Nordique. It will make their eventual relocation much simpler……

Wow, so original. You're like the tenth person to say this. You could have just "liked" the first person to say it.

I think the Atlanta BRB would be apropos

 

[StickShift]

Atlanta Charms (“third time the charm”) would be peachy. Pink is the only color that the NHL hasn’t ever really embraced.

Pardon the AI weirdness.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

The Atlanta Deja Vu.

 

[blundluntman]

Atlanta YSLers. Young Thug as a GM.

I can already imagine the broadcasting.

"And once again, the Slats regain possession of the puck"

 

[Voight]

The Third Timers.

 

[BB79]

The Atlanta Deja Vu.

The Atlanta Relocators
The Atlanta Flaming Thrashers
The Atlanta Chance...give us one more chance....again

My eyes. The goggles do nothing!

 

[RonTextall]

Flashers = mashup of their previous franchises

 

[Reddawg]

Name them in honor of Atlanta’s most famous industry. The Atlanta Polecats.

 

[Lions67]

Atlanta Spirt!
Ironic I know, but Spirit would make a cool logo.
If Seattle can have a mythical sea serpent, Atlanta can revive a ghost ( or 2 )

I think a 3rd jersey incorporating this design/color palate's would be sick

Some mentioned the name Phoenix earlier in the thread and IMO its perfect, it mixes the Flames and Thrashers and symbolizes the new team rising from the ashes

Ideally the Thrashers. State bird and all.

But the city is named after a Greek Goddess. So maybe the Atlanta Olympians. Could be some cool Greek mythology branding elements. A la what the Kraken did with their theme.

 

[WeLoveLosers]

Atlanta Packers

Ya know, I should hate this, but it does have a nice ironic twist to it. I might be down with this, provided that they use a dollar sign for Atlanta $pirit like I do.

No. It literally hasn't.

it literally has. Where have you been lately?

 

[Dulind]

Atlanta Arsenal -- they can be blood feud partners with Cbus.
