What Should the new Atlanta NHL team be named?

[No Fun Shogun]

Firebirds as an homage to the prior two teams and Atlanta basically branding itself as the phoenix city for about a century.

Whoever said the "Atlanta Spirit" above wins this thread. It's the perfect mix of an homage to the past and measure of closure.

On opening night, we'll automatically take jersey #8 out of circulation and raise it to the rafters. And #7, too, while we're at it. IYKYK.

Flames + Thrashers

Flashers

Not to get all literary nerd about it but the firebird is not a phoenix. Still like the name but firebirds are typically referred to as a warning that bad sh*t is about to go down.

Loved the thrashers branding before, the powder blue uniform was great.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Firebirds gets my vote as well.

 

[MoneyManny]

The Redskins or Indians.

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)

Firebirds.

Fire represent the first franchise that was lost, Atlanta Flames
Birds represent the 2nd franchise that was lost, Atlanta Thrashers

Atlanta Firebirds, Rebirth of the Atlanta NHL team. Color scheme, Light blue, White, yellow and Red.

Logo could look like the first Atlanta thrashers logo, but is on flames, which looks like a Phoenix firebird.

Maybe kinda like this except yellow instead of orange?

Whatever the owners decide is best for their team.

Maybe. I would try and make the uniform that represent both former franchises somehow.

That's pretty close

This is all still smoke, no fire as far as I’m concerned.

Vague “promises”, civic speeches, social media platitudes. Heard it all before.

Not sure how we’ve heard anything concrete that would suggest a new Atlanta NHL team becoming “likely”.

Are they talking to the NHL? Sure. Is the NHL studying expansion. Sure.

But I’d save the excitement for actual official news of expansion.

Logo would be different, more like this.
