I think the point was that it does feel a little forced though for sake of keeping the EE I’m not sure we can ever say that returning to an old name is “forced”, though. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NormMacdonald 666 Posted July 27 Edmonton Elks (it wouldn't be Elk) is a phenomenal name for a CFL team. If the EE logo wasn't so iconic I would want them to have antlers on the helmet but them not having to change the uniforms at all will make the transition easier 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 26,227 Posted July 27 Put the EE logo inside the sleeve stripes like the Packers used to do when the Packers were trash, and then put the antlers on the helmet. Antlers on a helmet is such a great idea that I can't believe a team hasn't done it already. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the point was that it does feel a little forced though for sake of keeping the EE An example of a name being forced would be "Washington Red Wolves" -- an identity with little purpose other than to keep the "Washington Red-(blank)" naming structure. Edmonton Elks actually has a place in franchise lore, including a championship. The fact that it would allow the club to retain the "EE" branding wouldn't make this forced — it would make it perfect. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The EE is an ideal secondary. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a great idea, but I think the antlers are overwhelmed by the dark keyline, which is thicker than the antlers themselves in many places. I'm sure Edmonton can do something fantastic with this. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midway 561 Posted July 28 Elks feels a lot like Warriors. The most obvious, safest answer and for that reason alone they’re going to overthink and botch this completely. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dammit - your Shasta edit doesn't tag along. I remember Shasta, and that catch phrase, but can't recall what it has to do with what you typed.
