Or they will be just the Edmonton Hockey Club like Redskins became the Washington Football Team.

With all due respect. Get bent.

Why are people so upset about this? OP is clearly making a joke.

If they go with the Solars, Premier Danielle Smith will prevent them from taking the ice this season.

It’s not about changing the name to fit the culture. Edmonton is known for oil, so it’s named after oil.
Patriotism in Canada is down a lot, but you don’t see Toronto changing their name to the Toronto Immigration or Toronto transit.

Try the ‘abandon well heads’ because that’s where we are at this point.

No thank you. Just keep it Oilers

What about the Edmonton Hydroelectric Dams?

Edmonton Atoms unironically sounds really good, and you could use the third logo

Should be called Fisions, not Fusions. But looks awesome.

All of Alberta is running your IP and forming what could only be described as a “Springfield-style Town riot”. They’re feeling “Springy”, watch out man.

Fusion is an awesome name

My vote is Funions. Can’t go wrong with Funions

I’d be more interested in seeing a rebrand of Calgary. Flames was a dumb name in Atlanta and it’s even dumber in Calgary. They should do something about cattle. The Calgary Bulls or something like that would work and there’s a lot of room for a great logo.

It’s Alberta. Maybe try this again in 50 years

You have to be joking right?

It’s too bad the Alberta government is anti renewables and clean energy

Edmonton is WAY too far North to be dependent on solar energy. C’mon man.

How do you know oilers doesn’t mean “vegetable oil” …that would mean green oil ! Win win

Hard to go solar when you have three months of darkness every winter. Yes, I know they’re not that far north, but the days are definitely shorter up there.
