Sodboy13 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Do we have a color scheme yet?Well, given that Cavs ownership is fronting this thing, I'd say you should have your navy, wine, and gold fish-based hockey concepts at the ready.

Burning River Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Man o man... I just don't like it... It does make sense at the same time. Lake Erie and Walley go hand in hand. Just like Montgomery w/ Bicuits and New Hampshire w/ FisherCats. I just don't like going from a cruddy "shark" Barons logo to another fish logo.I was really hoping for something clever yet, cool to go with Cavaliers. It seems like a name for Single-A baseball or EIEIO Indoor Fooball...But... at the same time, I see these other minor league team names and I guess it will fit in. NHL... NO!!! AHL... (minor) Sigh...we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Okay, I just came up with a concept for this. It's probably the espresso talking, but hear me out. Take the waves from the bottom of the old Lightning alt, make the water navy with white or royal wave highlights and have a leaping walleye as your jersey crest on a wine body. Deck out the rest of the sweater as you see fit. It... could... work!

EatSleepJeep Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Good God, that's ridiculous. The first thing I thought of when I saw the topic was the old Minnesota Fighting Pike of the AFL. Yeah, that worked... for a season. I don't remember them, but the Madison Muskies did pretty well for a decade:I have a madison Muskies player cap. Wow. i didn't know anybody remembered them.Of all the fish, why pick the Minnesota state fish for a minor league team in Ohio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brawdon77 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 And here I thought "Rail Raiders" was a clunky name.Fighting Walleye?I am very curious to see what franchise moves, or which affiliate takes the team.I believe the dormant Utah Grizzlies franchise (not the ECHL team) is moving to Cleveland. As for an NHL affiliation, Columbus would obviously make sense, but the Blue Jackets are tied to the Syracuse Crunch for a few more years. Currently, the only NHL teams that do not have an AHL farm club of their own are Colorado, Edmonton, and Florida. That doesn't mean that Cleveland won't become affiliated with somebody else, but I would guess that either the Avalanche, Oilers, or Panthers would sign on.

Burning River Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 OK... I was bumping around TESS and I found "Fighting Walleye" registered to "Cavalier Hockey Holdings". So, it is registered as an AHL team name. But... the good news is "Cleveland" is not attached to it at all. If I search with Cleveland, it does not come up. So, hopefully it is one of the nick-names registered along with others and the fans will vote or something. It doesn't mean that the Team Name is Officially "Fighting Walleye", just the "Fighting Walleye" is a registered and trade-marked unique name. It is almost impossible to find other registered nick-names associated with Cavalier Hockey Holdings because "Cleveland" is not linked to the nick names.Or is there a way to search what else "Cavalier Hockey Holdings" may have registered?? Thanks in Advance! -BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Or is there a way to search what else "Cavalier Hockey Holdings" may have registered??According to the USPTO database, the only trademark that Cavaliers Hockey Holdings has filed is Fighting Walleye. Further, the Cavaliers Operating Company hasn't filed for the protection of any trademarks linked to the new hockey team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I think Florida has plans for an Orlando franchise. I could've sworn I read that somewhere... or perhaps I'm just talking out of my back end. I think Colorado would be the best candidate for this new/old/soon-to-be-gone team. Edmonton would probably want to keep things north of the border. Also, Calgary may be in need of a new team, with the way things are going in Omaha.
