nash61 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Speaking of San Diego, I came across this little tidbit today. All uses of "Gulls" have been expunged from the WSHL databases for this year. Team is simply referred to as "San Diego."

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

That would seem to support the idea that they're going to be the San Diego Gulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 San Diego also posted this on their social media accounts today: "The San Diego Gulls have some exciting news to share with our fans. Formal Press Release will be released next week. LETS GO GULLS!!!"I can almost guarantee that's what it is.I work with some people in the WSHL's Long Beach Bombers. I'll see if I can whip up some info. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Bakersfield has announced a name-the-team contest.

poser Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Rumor around here is the AHL Sharks will move to Sacramento or somewhere else more permanent so I think we might see a "California" as a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Condors, Barons, and even Oilers could all work for Bakersfield. I actually don't mind minor league clubs using their parent club's name as long as it's still relevant to where the minor league club is and can put their own spin on it, which is the case with Bakersfield.

Though they were obvious in their affiliation which makes some sense. It makes more with their new proximity to their parent. But as it is we know Ontario will remain Reign, it seems clear San Diego will be Gulls, the question is still open on the other 3 but you can bet that San Jose at least will be pretty uninspired.

But seriously what's with the dripping blood letters? Is it that fog that turns people inside out?Considering that the logo was conceived by Mike Butters - best known as Paul Leahy of Saw, but who after a playing career in the minors was the Fog's GM and was later GM of the AHL Norfolk Admirals, it makes perfect sense to me. Butters later ran the Helena Bighorns (AWHL/NAHL) and Queen City Cutthroats (NorPac). When the Cutties were first announced Butters punked the Helena media at the press conference by declaring the team would be called the Helena Handbaskets.

bosrs1 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 So some more leak tweets have come out supporting the Gulls name making a comeback in San Diego. Seems a pretty safe bet that's the way the Ducks are going. Question now is will they bring back the old logo and sweaters or will they go with a new design.http://mayorsmanor.com/2015/02/ducks-land-on-ahl-san-diego-team-name/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcameronh Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I think the Flames should keep the the name and branding for both teams. Just change the colors of the Thunder to Flames colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
