What Should the new Atlanta NHL team be named?

Phantoms/Phantasm's?

because they're likely to disappear in a few years.
 
The Atlanta It should have been Quebec City.

Sorry, not sorry. QC, and Canada as whole, is once again getting the shaft from Bettman and Co. QC has done everything to get a team. The fanbase too is rabid and has shown it's support ad nauseum in the past decades.

This whole escapade is ridiculous, but perfectly in-line with Bettman's philosophy of kicking a dead horse until it is smashed into it's component atoms alive once more, and quoting Shakespeare.

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)

Just to make things confusing, I think they should be the Phoenix - you get another bird (like the Thrashers) rising from the ashes (from the Flames). And it would screw with people who don't know hockey wondering why the team is called Phoenix even if that is a different city. Win win.
 
How about just don’t put a team there at all. Or go full jackass and put a second team in Phoenix so that you’ll have a cross-town rivalry.

Firebirds is cool because it’s a bit of an homage to the original Atlanta Flames and the Thrashers.

Supposedly the city of Atlanta has a Phoenix on its seal or flag as well.

Yep, easily my favorite name of those proposed.

Oh, and the seal, which could easily be adapted into a cool logo:
