Sounds like a fancy cocktail with an umbrella.

[Edgelord]

Atlanta used to be called Terminus, then Marthasville
so Terminators could work?

Also they should play out of QC just for convenience

Part of me wants to lean into the hate for the city getting multiple chances and call them the Threeshers.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

The Flames

Obviously

Its funny you mention the drinks, a good buddy just got back from Jamacia and imagine a guy who looks like Abraham from The Walking Dead, but the personality of Clint Eastwood in the good the bad and the ugly.
In most of the pics his wife is got this huge smile and he is holding some sort of giant cocktail with fruit hanging out with a dead ass straight face lol

As a new Atlanta NHL team becomes more likely, should this organization resurrect the Thrashers branding , colors, identity or forge ahead with something new?

As discussed in the Atlanta thread on the biz forum, there really isnt a better name/ mascot than the Thrashers.

Additionally, Millenials who will comprise a plurality of the Season Ticket base has strong nostalgia for The Thrashers and incorporating a modernized version of the team’s branding/jerseys / identity will do alot to galvanize support for the team

If for whatever reason The Thrashers name and identity cannot be leveraged here are some suggestions for potential team names

1. Olympics
2. 96’ers
3. Stags/Bucks (we have alot of deer)
4. Cutthroats (decent trout fishing in the Chattahoochee)
5. Terminus HC
6. Firebirds
7. Raptors (as in birds of prey)
8. Kudzu
9. Paladins
10. Gladiators (but in the Knights color scheme)

1. The IOC protects their brand HARD. This would never, ever happen.
2. To celebrate the '96 Olympics. I dunno - to my mind that Olympics always brings u the bombing/false accusal of that security guard. Plus it's now 30 years ago.
3. Stags - could be. Bucks no (Milwaukee NBA team).
4. Cutthroats. I know it's the name of a fish, but given the obvious violent connotations I suspect not.
5. Terminus. I don't get it. And I doubt the euro-style "HC" branding. I know why it works in soccer, but not in hockey.
6. Firebirds - sure.
7. Raptors - n (Toronto NBA).
8. Kudzu - named after a noxious weed?
9 Paladins - fine
10. Gladiators - given the ECHL Gladiators right there in the market, probably has a minor league vibe to it (plus you'd need to buy the name)

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

IDK. Atlanta Failers?

 

[orby]

The ATLiens.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

The Parities

6. Firebirds - sure.

Seattle Kraken owners would likely object, as it's the name of their AHL team.

 

[EdJovanovski]

The Ostrich

 

[Yukon Joe]

Seattle Kraken owners would likely object, as it's the name of their AHL team.

Good point.
