nash61 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 While looking for "cool" logos, I realized just how lazy hockey names can be. Take a word, slap the word "Ice-" in front of it, and you have a hockey team name. I started this thread as an almost witch hunt for all the lazy names.One rule: It must be a compound word, and must start with "Ice" On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

KCScout76 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have always liked the Ice Bears Logo. The Ice Flyers is much improved over the years, I like the new logo now.Where are the Ice Monkeys (beer league team)?Not to be confused with the Crease Monkeys (see below).

Eye Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 At least an icecap is an actual thing, though, so it isn't as bad as all the other names that have been posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Technically we could count Eisbaren Berlin of the DEL:Literally translated, Eisbaren means "Ice Bears". But it also happens to be the German phrase for the polar bear. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I could be off base, but reliance on "Ice" in names has always smaked of a bit of hockey inferiority complex. Same with "Frozen Four." I HATE calling it the Frozen Four and would rather be long-winded in saying "Hockey Final Four". Anyway, it just seems that the more they sell their teams/sports on "Ice" and "frozen" the more it seems they are selling a cute little novelty and not a serious sport that belongs on par with the other sports. Ice Caps is an OK name, but the rest pretty much all stink. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Stampman Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 "Ice" names might be okay if they are actual words or phrases outside of hockey.Otherwise they are too gimmicky--but for some leagues that could work.But take the names in this thrread and substitute "Diamond" for "Ice" and see if they work for baseball-or try "Field" or Gridiron" for football, etc.Most of them would be just as ridiculous...Some of the names in this thread would be good without the "Ice" Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

illwauk Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 GB's short-lived, early 90s minor league franchise. The Gamblers came through a couple years later.I could be off base, but reliance on "Ice" in names has always smaked of a bit of hockey inferiority complex. Same with "Frozen Four."

Ice Caps is an OK name, but the rest pretty much all stink.Agreed on all except for the bolded part. Even though a lot of NCAA tournaments use a "Final Four" format, there's really only one thing that comes to mind when you hear that term. Frozen Four is just distinctive enough without sounding forced and gives the hockey final a brand of its own, so I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathysphere Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Not really contributing, but it seems like a team named after its sport's own playing ground (the "ICE") is implying that the other team will be running all over them, don't you think?
