twi Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Wow, those are all horrible or unoriginal names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonz Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I actually like the name Energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I think the names should be either Mercurys or Oil Kings. Junior Oilers would be a terrible choice as would any of the "singular group" names suggested. Road Runners would basically mean that the Oilers have no intention of having a top level minor league affiliate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ Sands Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 What about the 99s? If there can be a team named the 67s, 99s is perfectly acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gueman Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I liked Mercury. Not so much because of the alliteration, but because mercury is found in crude oil.

DelayedPenalty Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I voted for the Mercurys, keep it classy and original! They should use an updated version of the original logo with the winged helmet dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I thought "Oil Kings" was pretty much a given for the team's name the second the Oilers pulled the plug on the 'Runners. Or does my memory fail me on this one?

mrfab Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I'm going to write in "Edmonton Frozen Pierogi"! "But seriously, folks . . .", I couldn't find on their site when the contest's over & when the winner's announced. Any other superbrain types figure this out? Now I'm gonna go back to the site and vote "Frostbite", for, oh, about a JILLION times! And WHY?!? Because I CAN!!! [mad "muahahaha!" laughter] "The Amazing Fabwell... Knows All... SEES All...

wheateater Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Wow. What lame choices. Capitals? Flyers? Can they really not think of some original names? And asking fans to choose their favourite jerseys and logos is ridiculous. Why not just come out and say, "We're too cheap to find original jersey templates and logos, so we're gonna use an NHL team's jersey and copy the Kamloops Blazers." For shame.On a side note, does anyone think it might be confusing to name them Oil Kings with the team in Brandon being called the Wheat Kings? Just wondering...
