What Should the new Atlanta NHL team be named?

- Start date
The Jerk Store
Felix Unger Score'em

Fire Dustin Schwartz
Thrashers are the third type of bird in Atlanta, with the Falcons and Hawks already in existence, so it was a sort of play on the old city themes, like Cubs and Bears, etc. It probably works fine as a name, but IMHO it will need some refinement as a brand, i.e., new scheme for the sweaters, logos, etc.
That said, the Georgia Peach wouldn't be terrible, although a little too nice for hockey.

Atlanta Zero
The Zero in Coca Cola Font, so team name is an add, like the Red Bull teams doing it.

If the team actually gets a good owner, don't expect a relocate this time.

That's exactly it. It was never Buffalo that was the problem it was Toronto. Although I would suspect that Buffalo would have preferred Hamilton not to be there also.

I could get this if it was renaming the Sabres - Sagoyewatha aka Red Jacket as a local to Buffalo. But that reference above is just... no.

How about the Vagrants? since they’ll be getting the bum rush outta town an a couple years.
Heck, just call them the Atlanta Bum Rush, that will definitely sell some jerseys.

Atlanta Luda Jon's is my vote.
Although I'm a big Killer Mike and RTJ fan and would love to see Mike repping that team over Luda and LJ.
Really is. Atlanta deserves a team and I would be happy to see them get one again and this time without a shitty owner.

If/when this happens, I'll be here joyfully eating everyone's tears of unfathomable sadness, Cartman style.

Somebody already said "Atlanta Coyotes" in this thread, right? Ok, ok, I have been to Atlanta and Phoenix both. Wile E. is the only coyote that could ever be found in either place, so I don't see a problem.

I silently considered greyshirts but I don't think it would work or market. It's one of those things that's purely historical but so touchy it'll never fly. Blue Jackets can at least be connected to emancipation. You don't want to risk marketing the old rebellion and having it connected to slavery. Some history you have to leave in the past even if you can find the Civil War to be an intriguing and fascinating subject

That, and Atlanta, more than practically anywhere else in the South, does not live in the past. It's the literal birthplace of the civil rights movement. People who associate present day Atlanta with Civil War stuff are just parroting movie tropes, not reality.
