They should go with something totally unique, like Edblacks, or Elue Bombers. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

kiwi_canadian Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 All this talk about Edmonton Elks... but there is already an Edmonton Elks team and they play rugby league here as an amatuer club. Those players go on to represent the Alberta Broncos for the rep team for the province and they play against the BC Bulldogs, Ontario and Western Canada in the national competition.

beachperroAZ Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Edmonton Oilers or roughnecks! They could use uniforms similar to the Houston Roughnecks since Alberta is an oil state like Texas. Or if there is another version of a name that could represent the oil industry in Alberta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Edmonton Earls with a depiction of this guy on the helmets... The identity would serve as a nod to the season-and-a-half that SCTV spent in production at Edmonton's ITV Studios. A bonus would be the Edmonton Ediths cheerleading squad...

Count me as a vote for Edmonton Oilers. Sounds like it goes perfectly together, and I can already picture a logo: A circle with an oil drop at the top, and "OILERS" below it dripping oil.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. 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.

I can only hope that they continue to listen to the Inuit before deciding if the polar bear god-figure is an appropriate mascot. I was referring to other teams & random names--so call the Polar Bear Phil or Gus or Dave. Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

Gothamite Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yep, that would change the mascot from unacceptable to okay. They just have to stop trading in any First Nations iconography, which includes mythology and names. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The_Admiral Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I think most people associate Nanook with the old Nanook of the North documentary, or maybe the Frank Zappa song loosely based on it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that's a tough argument to sell. I associated the Washington Football Team's former nickname with the team that plays footlball in Washington. Nothing else. Still didn't make it right.

They probably do. Which is kinda the problem. Even without the polar bear ties, it’s hard to argue that the name itself isn’t a First Nations reference. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
