Oak Leafs.

The Oak is the state tree of Georgia.

 

[Siludin]

The Flaming Brown Thrush

 

[Lunatik]

Flames? Nope did that...
Thrashers? Did that too...

I got it... the Atlanta Flashers!

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

The Atlanta Point

As in “what’s the…”

 

[jetsforever]

Why do we need so many teams? No other major leagues have more than 32

 

[OG6ix]

I think they should consider naming them using the state name of Georgia. They can also use peach colours for their jerseys. It would be distinctly Georgia.

Atlanta Football puck

 

[DingDongCharlie]

The Comeback Kings.

They can play Corey Feldmans song as they hit the ice

 

[dalewood12]

The Atlanta Magic City's

 

[FlyguyOX]

Atlanta Rails.

Would be the most popular FA and trade market.

 

[SCP Guy]

Call them the 12s....and ever year reduce it by 1 and when they get to zero time to move the team again.

1. Repeats

Thrashers

 

[Hasbro]

Kudzu lmao

I quite like Firebirds.

Fitting because you can't get rid of that shit.

 

[howkie]

Hot Thrasy Jet..

So we can get refernce to the 2 old teams, and to where the second team ended up.

 

[Lunatik]

I wouldn't be mad if they brought up the Gladiators name from the ECHL team if I'm honest. Also wouldn't be mad at the Thrashers, but I think a fresh start would be best.

What about the Bees? The Honeybee is the state insect. Black and gold is a great color scheme (can even add in some golden brown for the honey), bees open up lots og logo options too. Including using a honeycomb shape.

Negative. That's for Utah (even though I prefer the Outlaws for Utah).

Atlanta should go back to the Thrashers.

Utah is the team that is really missing out if they don't use this name, but Atlanta could make it work too. The Phoenix. Rising from the ashes is a smart way to reference getting a team back. And a firebird makes an amazing logo.

But the best choice would be the Thrashers again. Bringing back an old name worked for the Jets. Why not here. The Thrashers colours and logos were also incredible and unique.
