wonderbread Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 there's already two NHL teams that have silver stars as the focus of their logo (one of them is even named 'stars')... naming a team "silver stars" is just overkill.What's the other team with a silver star?

gosioux76 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 In the remote chance Portland ever gets an NHL franchise, they have to bring back the name Buckaroos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-owns-iu Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 there's already two NHL teams that have silver stars as the focus of their logo (one of them is even named 'stars')... naming a team "silver stars" is just overkill.You're right. Here's a couple of team names that have already been used that I think could still work due to their identity being mostly open still...1. Silver Streaks2. Silver BanditsThen some others...- Silver Strikes- Silver BulletsI know I'm ate up on Silver but it's a good part of Las Vegas that avoids gambling (for the most part) and the area 51 image already used by their baseball team. Silver would also be a unique team color even though it's obviously used a lot for stars in logos.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/64/Toronto_Legacy_logo.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You could get away with the "Legacy" thing with something like a NYC baseball team... the legacy there is certainly dominated by the Yankees, but you also have the Mets, the Dodgers, the Giants, etc. In Toronto, it's been almost 100 years of just the Leafs. It's totally obvious that you're riding on the coattails of the other professional team currently operating in the same town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Whatever the team is named, they should just use Toronto or Hamilton. Using Ontario never looked right to me. Especially considering the arrogance that would stem from claiming to represent Ontario when there are two teams already in the province with roots (direct or not) that go back a century or more.

Other than that, I think it just comes down to whether there are any other major teams in your state/province as to whether you can claim to represent it. The Rockies and DBacks don't seem in any danger of facing intra-state competition, so it works fine. Texas Rangers seems presumptuous, but they're named after the law enforcement agency, so it works.The Warriors should absolutely rename themselves the Oakland Warriors or at least the Bay Area Warriors, because for that team to claim to represent the Golden State (where I lived for most of my life) is ludicrous.Will there be any more hockey teams in Florida or the Carolinas? I think it seems doubtful enough for the Panthers and Hurricanes to keep their names (for however much longer the Panthers will even exist).The New England name is sort of cute and is almost like the Texas Rangers in trying to invoke something else, but yeah, there aren't any other NFL teams in all of New England, so they get to claim it.Now, for the only other Canadian cases. Are there any other CFL teams in BC or Saskatchewan? I really think it's as simple as that, and so because there's already a couple NHL teams in ON, I don't think going with the Ontario something would be a good idea. My suggestion is for them to just look at all the LA and NY teams (Toronto's closest parallels) and stick with being the Toronto something.

kewp80 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 And where are you coming up with New Jersey for the Jets? Sure them and the Giants technically play in New Jersey now, but their both named after the city. Same goes for the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Islanders, and Knicks. Oh and you forgot all the Minnesota teams. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanic Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The Yankees and Mets are technically located in NYC, just in different boroughs (Bronx and Queens respectively).Giants and Jets in NJ is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlesonicsofsacramento Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 ahh sorry, forgot the Floridian team that actually won the Stanley Cup. I guess the Panthers and the Marlins were part of the same fabric that were trying to claim Florida on behalf of Miami, which is a bizarre thing (for a bizarre state), considering Miami is so unlike the rest of the state (lived in Central FL for 3 years but obvs didn't follow any hockey team there) "The pictures looked good on the computer," Will Brown explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygers09 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Blackjax- have two cards, one offset- one with a capital "A" for an Ace, and the other with a capital "K" for a King, those two cards of course make up Black Jack.NOWell aren't you just a freaking ray of sunshine? Don't be so harsh, it's just a suggestion.I remember the first time I heard of the Pittsburgh Penguins, I was scratching my head on that one... just look at how long that franchise has been around...

M4One Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Aren't the Florida Panthers kinda the same like the Texas Rangers where they are named after the animal? Maybe it's just because we are use to it, but sometimes naming a team after the state/province just sounds better than the city, like how Colorado Avalanche sounds better than Denver Avalanche to me.
