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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NormMacdonald 712 Posted July 27, 2020 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 28,287 Posted July 27, 2020 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 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. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The EE is an ideal secondary. 3 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midway 581 Posted July 28, 2020 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 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.
