Gobbi 1,135 Posted July 21, 2020 - "What does the 'EE' in 'EE Football Team' stand for?" - "Edmonton... uhh I don't know what the second 'E' stands for yet... but I know it's not Eskimos" 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinsUp1214 5,729 Posted July 21, 2020 Edmonton Emperors; they can keep the “EE” logo and colors, then have an emperor penguin alternate logo and mascot to help give a new, concrete brand direction. I really don’t know if that’s a good, meh, or bad idea, but it’s something I thought of and figured it may have some potential. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if Emperors or Empire -- which has been thrown around a lot given that the team's marketing recently has focused around the "Eskimos Empire" -- are good choices, what with the colonial connotations and all. I've been partial to Edmonton Express lately. The (EE) logo could easily fit into other train-themed identity elements. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be perfect if they were an Edmonton band instead of a Winnipeg one, but I love “Edmonton Elks” either way. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
officeglenn 2,548 Posted July 21, 2020 "Elks" just sounds weird to me and I can't get over it. It might be because it's just one syllable. Or because it's one syllable juxtaposed against three in "Edmonton." Or maybe because it's kind of a difficult word to wrap your tongue around; it kind of eminates from the back of the throat and reminds me of a cat coughing up a hairball. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wade Heidt 551 Posted July 21, 2020 1 hour ago, monkeypower said: Realistically, all they would need to do is cover up the Eskimos wordmark and I guess the helmet bumper too. Like I said earlier in this thread, almost nothing about their branding, outside of the wordmark and I guess the polar bear mascot (which is a stretch), reflected the name "Eskimos". Elks will fit perfectly on the helmet bumper. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
