cdgates Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hey guys, right now I plan on working on a two part NHL expansion series including Hamilton, and Quebec. So, I'm stumped on the Hamilton team name. I'd like it to have something to do with steel, considering the fact that Hamilton is the "Steel City". Also, sorry I'm not taking the Tigers name. All suggestions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubize Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 How about simply calling them Hamilton Steel. Nice edgy name that represents the city very well. My thoughts for the color scheme would be Black-Yellow and and white as well as a little dark grey, like the Tiger-Cats from the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soarindude Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I really like the Hamilton Steel or Steelheads. Forge or Ironmen would be fun, but it doesn't really roll of the tongue with Hamilton. Im not sure how one would make a "steel" logo, though.

Cubize Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It could just be a wordmark. Or have a guy making a hockey stick ( or anything ) on an anvil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWonka Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 A Banana peel.Actually, if you are into roundels. maybe like a steel bolt or something for the outside. Use some imagination on the inside. That is if you're going with steel. Sometimes I like to pick names that really don't have anything to do with it's cities history. Maybe the Hamilton Hammerheads, (I know that might have something to do with steel, but its a bad*ss sounding bird name (or shark). could make something cool out of that.

dalethompson Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 If Hamilton were to ever get a team, which is highly unlikely at this point (I'm not pessimistic or anti-Canadian, I'd just rather see a team in Hartford, Seattle or even Kansas City) I'd definitely agree with others to name them after what the city is famous for... it's steel.- Hamilton Steel- Hamilton Blast (after the smelting process)- Hamilton Iron- Hamilton Edge- Hamilton Blades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 My main thing is not to use a plural without an s at the end.Hamilton Steel sounds like a crime. Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver7 Hockey Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Can you make a concept for the winner or pick 12 and do a series that people could vote . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Steelheads. Reference to it being both steel city as well as the massive Steelhead population in Lake Ontario as well as the spawning grounds in and around Hamilton.It gives a very Canadian feel. You could maybe have a logo featuring a Steelhead made of iron or something. It's got definite potential.I love the Mississauga Steelheads' package, besides the jersey being a Maple Leafs rip off.

derschwigg Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You could reference steel in many ways:SteeltigersSteel Stags (both of these coming from the Coat of Arms)SteelhoundsSmitheesMillersWhite HotsOr you could opt for the intangible options likeStrikeForgeetc.I'm anxious to see how you handle it!
