Im all for a third shot. If they have good ownership it will work. The key is getting the right ownership group right away, they cannot screw it up
Georgia Pines
Georgia Gorgeous š
Quebec Nordiques
The Atlanta Anchors, because even though Atlanta isn't on the coast or a major port for ships maybe it will bring good luck that they will stay anchored in place in ATL this time.
What do you mean Atlanta Zombies wouldnāt work?! šš„
Shannon,
Is it a rule that former cities that have previously had a team , can they not us the same name as an old franchise? Like Seattle went with something different? For expansion teams ?
Go with the Thrashers or Gladiators
Georgia Gladiators
Best Name would be Quebec Nordiques.
Should be called Garbage. It will be another shit team in Atlanta
Georgia spirit
Atlanta is like a good woman
You never give up
Atlanta Wanderers Because there teams keep wandering away š
Georgia Firebirds. Combines the two previous names and if they donāt play in Atlanta they should be called Georgia
Atlanta Swarm
The Atlant Traffic
Georgia stingers. The logo should be something with a Bee on a rose and the colours can be the original Tampa Bay Buccaneers sherbet orange / peach with red. Maybe have grey as a third secondary color.
Any name that's honeybee related could ruffle up feathers with Georgia Tech, although their mascot is technically a wasp (yellow jacket).
It's a similar situation to how Bill Foley wanted Vegas's name to be the Black Knights, but that drew ire from the US Military Academy (Army), so he had to settle for Golden Knights.
Georgia is the birthplace of Coca-Cola, isn't it? Call them the Georgia Classics.
ATLANTA ALIENS
with an awesome A logo
Georgia Woodsmen? š¤·āāļø
How about Atlanta Charms because third time is a charm
Having lived in Connecticut and Arizona, I lost teams twice, they deserve a second chance before Atlanta gets a third.
Might as well call them the Nordiques so when the third team fails to gain traction in Atlanta, Quebec City is ready.
Georgia Moonshine. Have an actual moon as the logo.
Cobblers. Peach states peach cobblers. With navy/black, powder blue and peach colors
Atlanta Firebirds.
Georgia Flashers š¤£
First… at least one of the two groups seems hell bent on using the Atlanta Thrashers name, if they're selected. Alpharetta might not be Atlanta per se, but if you look at a map of what is actually considered *Metro Atlanta*, you'll find that it's well within those confines. A "Georgia" name is very odd for a team that is located where the majority of the state's population lives.
Second, it really won't be a huge challenge, or at least not as much of a challenge as it's believed. I know a number of folks here who were Flames fans and Thrashers fans who are optimistic and looking forward to cheering on the third Atlanta team. What folks on the fence will want to see is committed and passionate ownership who isn't just willing to put in the time and money to make the team a success, but is also willing to grow the spot in and around all parts of metro Atlanta.
Thrashers or bust tbh
If Atlanta gets a team back I'd prefer they go back with Thrashers. State bird, you also give a nod to the fans who had been missing the Thrashers too.
