(Just like the Philadelphia Phillies, except in green and yellow.) This has been brought up before, but the nickname of the local Canadian Premier League team, FC Edmonton, is the Eddies. Not sure if they have any trademarks or anything on it, but it would definitely be stepping on their toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_Roby Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Pretty sure they would go with Edmonton Empire, they trademarked it years ago, almost like they knew this day would come eventually. Also, 99.9% sure they would go with another "E" name and not have to change logo, uniforms or branding. It would cost them money they simply do not have.

Presson has literally confirmed it won't be Empire. At this point, I have to imagine it'll probably be a name that distances itself from the former name as much as possible.

To be fair, Spokane is in the “inland empire” of WA. Not to be confused with the other inland empire in CA. With the train logo though I don’t know why they weren’t just called the Engineers.

monkeypower Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 21 hours ago, Chromatic said: Edmonton Explorers That might not be a half-bad idea. A major road in Edmonton is named after an English explorer, Anthony Henday, who is believed to be one of the first Europeans to reach Edmonton, or at least the location of future Edmonton. There are also other things around Edmonton named after explorers too, including more named after Henday. I don't know the name would fly though because of the colonialist connotation, especially after switching from a Indigenous themed name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exploring doesn't have mean colonizing. Heck man, at this point folks can probably find issues with just about any name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amtrak "Empire Builder" is a passenger train that runs on a historically important rail route connecting Chicago to Seattle and Portland. It's been around since the 1920s and is even today one of the busiest Amtrak routes. The route splits in Spokane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Spokane and knew the railroad was important but that puts it into perspective. For the record I don’t think “Empire” is that bad of a name. Doubt Edmonton goes with it, because of the colonialism connotation. However I’m still glad Spokane got the rights back to the Shock branding for the IFL team, whenever that league re-launches.
