Tygers09 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Like I said before, whatever name is made, someone or some people wont like that name, we're not in the front office of the team. So we have to deal with whatever name is chosen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured this was one of those red herring names that they'd never actually consider. Hopefully this just means that Palm Springs AHL team will be named the Renegades. PS Renegades is not much better. Ugh. Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get why Orcas (which are fierce and very relevant to the region), Seals or even Otters aren’t on the table. I actually would love the Otters. I get why not Seals, since there was the California team in the 70s. Orcas, I'd love, but Vancouver has an orca in their logo, already. And then of course every other person would then complain "Orcas doesn't sound as intimidating as Killer Whales!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can have an Orca for all I care. Also the "intimidation" argument has always been silly, especially when the team is also considering names like 'Sockeyes' and 'Evergreens'.

The_Admiral Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I think it's fine for a team whose fanbase is mostly going to be in Western Washington where all the evergreens are. I don't expect them to take hold out east where it looks like the moon. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when we have names like "Maple Leafs" (an inanimate thing that gets eaten), "Penguins" (a fat bird that can't fly and is most known for cuteness), "Blues" (a musical genre that's not known for it's rough edges), "Senators" (a dude in a suit who just makes country rules) and "Ducks" (a bird that paddles around lakes and quacks). "Sockeyes" or "Evergreens" at least feel historical, like they'd fit in most any era of naming. I'd give "Sockeyes" the edge because you probably don't want to name your team after an inanimate tree and invite mocking "pylon" comments, but "Evergreens" still at least feels like a classic name. God forbid they go with some uber-tryhard trash like "Renegades" or "Kraken". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant; it's not exactly a genre known for being very loud and aggressive, tonally. It's usually quite smooth and isn't generally blaring sound. Especially given the team's name is from a W.C Handy song, and last I checked, "Saint Louis Blues" was the exact opposite of what I'd call "rough" or "aggressive".

Not much dissonance or aggressiveness there, unless you're only considering the timbre of Howlin' Wolf's voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
