nitroseed Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Okay, I've been trying to come up with a nickname for my MLF franchise, which recently moved from Newcastle to Denver. To simulate the ownership polling the citizens of Denver, I'm going to ask you, the good people of Creamerica, to help me name my team. Here are the explanations of the names:Colorado Cutthroats: The Greenback Cutthroat is the state fish of Colorado. Not to mention, the name sounds pretty cool.Colorado Altitude: Should be obvious... Colorado Charge: The concept sounds a lot cooler than the name, but my idea for the logo is a charging ram with lightning bolts for the horns, so it takes on a double meaning.Colorado Lycans: For those who don't know, a "lycan" is a werewolf. It's where the term "lycanthropy" came from, which is the "disease" people have that causes them to turn into werewolves. This is also the team's original name. I will say this: DO NOT vote for this based upon the original logo, because it may change if this is voted as the winner.So, vote away! And thanks in advance for your help.

yh Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I voted for Colorado Charge. You clearly have a vision in mind and I want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Lycans is still the best name out of all of those. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 nitro, if there's anyone who could make a fish-based logo cool... well, it's you! I'd love to see what you could do with any of these, but I do LOVE the sound of "Colorado Cutthroats".Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Most of these names would sound better with "Denver" instead of "Colorado." Especially Lycans, though Newcastle sounds even better with that.

Puckguy14 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Altitude sounds awesome. Of course you can use the rejected NHL name, the Colorado Xtreme. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Colorado Charge: The concept sounds a lot cooler than the name, but my idea for the logo is a charging ram with lightning bolts for the horns, so it takes on a double meaning. Kinda like this? I voted Colorado Altitude.Could yield a cool logo involving a fighter jet... isn't Colorado home to the NORAD headquarters?

winters in buffalo Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I voted for Cutthroats... just to see a killer fish logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Yes, Colorado is the home to Norad. I think something with a fighter jet would be awesome. After all, Colorado is the home of the United States Air Force Academy.I'm undecided. All the names are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I voted Altitude. I love the imagry that portrays.. it leaves the logo up in the air (wow, what a pun) and would be very interesting to see.

JQK Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Altitude? No, no no no i hate names like that. It's like "Glory" or "Spirit" or "Pride".... gawd-awful names that are gawd awful.....Lycans is the only name worth anything on this list.

slapshot Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Colorado Cutthroats has a nice alliterative feel to it. Maybe you could combine a killer fish with a pirate.Long John Silverfish!

smzimbabwe Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I vote for Cutthroats just because it's original and there aren't enough fish names out there to begin with...I don't like Lycans at all. If I hear the word "lycan" without seeing how it's spelled, I think of some mossy undergrowth...I believe there is a team in the National Pro Fastpitch league starting up this year called the Colorado Altitude, though the team may not play till next year...

nitroseed Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hmmm... Something smells fishy... "Cutthroats" is holding almost half the votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I don't like Lycans at all. If I hear the word "lycan" without seeing how it's spelled, I think of some mossy undergrowth... Yeah, I prefer teams whose names don't require a translation or explanation. I wouldn't want to see the Winnipeg Dancin' Gabes or the Winnipeg Flugzeuge. Cutthroats is a little bit like that, although it's not hard to understand the base root of the term.Go Goldeyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
