Phoenix. They rise from ashes (fire and past franchises/lives) and you could keep the coloring/give some nods to the past teams.

Only problem is pluralization, this is one of the few times I think singular works better.

I absolutely love the idea of some kind of a Phoenix. The only correct idea though is most likely the Thrashers. Literally every other post being "Nordiques" or "They are Moving-ers" is super interesting though. :help:

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)
The Atlanta "3rd times the charm"
Or Atlanta 3rds or Atlanta Repeaters or Atlanta Resilience

Atlanta Bettmans 🤣
