charger77 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 That's "Panthers" in both the NHL and NFL.I'll give you Panthers. However to me it seems a little more "exotic" than Lions and Tigers. Jaguars is a definite 90s expansion name. PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The Mighty Ducks started off with a gimmicky name, but they came around to a traditional name when they dropped the Disney-approved identity.

The_Admiral Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 "Sharks" is the best expansion name of the last 20 years. Good thing the question wasn't posed much later, or they'd have missed the cut! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayBlueshirt Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I liked Thrashers as an expansion name. Strong local connection, and the name itself had an aggressiveness to it (despite it not being a predatory bird) that worked without being ridiculous.

Sport Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 In my freshman dorm there was a kid whose legal last name was "Thrasher". He was tall and skinny and he loved skateboarding. To this day I can't think of the Atlanta Thrashers without thinking of that goofy curly-haired red-head and his "radical extreme" skateboarding.

GMW79 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 So if the Hurricanes rebrand due to the "sensitivity" of their name, then I suppose Colorado will be on that bandwagon at some point in the future? The Sharks need to change too. Shark attacks are nothing to be joked about. And the Flames? Better talk to Smokey the Bear about how inappropriate that name is.Sorry but that's idiotic. Guess we should change Lions and all Tiger-related teams because some moron got eaten by one in a NYC apartment recently too. Hey, Pistons must go because of the financial and emotional distress when a piston fails in someone's car. What about Saints and the Catholic priest scandals? 49ers promotes economic class envy. Bears and Bruins...same as Lions and Tigers, munch munch. Bucks are targets of violent non-vegetarians! So are Ducks!No matter what any team is named, there will be some liberal whiner there to claim they're offended. As a Redskins fan, I've been putting up with them for decades.It's bad enough the Bullets' identity was thrown away for a horrible name like the "Wizards". If this is true and really happens, it's a joke...a crock. If people are "so sensitive" that the name of a sports team stresses them out, I fear the future of our civilization. We've already feminized the males in our society enough, lets not make them overly-sensitive girly-men on top of it.Thankfully the U of Miami will never consider this...at least they better not.I could be interpreting wrong but I think GMW79's post was intended as sarcasm...Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I'm sure most of the rest of the members of this forum are as intelligent as Elliott.Buster, on the other hand... adds a few more good examples of the type of idiocy I was decrying.

Gothamite Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 "Sharks" is the best expansion name of the last 20 years. Good thing the question wasn't posed much later, or they'd have missed the cut!The name was chosen nearly 21 years ago, so I wasn't counting it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Strong local connection, and the name itself had an aggressiveness to it (despite it not being a predatory bird) that worked without being ridiculous.Except that the majority of people outside of Georgia had no idea that a Thrasher was a bird, and thought that the team had some kind of skate boarding connection.
