Elks: Edmonton Elks: New name and logos. POLL

[Captain Fantastic]

Would like people's input here. Please, I don't want a debate on the former name. How do you feel about the name and the new logos? . I know it's a hockey forum but it's an important change to Edmonton sports. Vote on the name and logo.

It’s a great look.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Nice logo. Alright name.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I really like the helmets.

 

[Whiston532]

It’s already growing on me

 

[MettleMcOiler]

I really like the helmets.

I was going to say, the antlers designs on the sides are tight!

Bring your hunting rifles, it's Antlers Up!

Bought some gear today. I supported that name of the available names. Go Elkssss!

 

[Cloned]

Not sure I like the name, but not for the reasons that you might think.

It's way too easy to come up with headlines for the opposing team:

"Lions go hunting for Elk"

"Endangered Species? Elk eliminated from playoff contention"

"Animal Crossing: Stampeders trample over Elk"

etc. etc.

I voted for ElkHounds. I’m a dick.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Not a fan of the name, but the logo is damn cool

Would any of those things happen to an Elk? Perhaps I have the wrong impression of Elk... I thought they where less of a prey animal than most types of deer.

I was posting with my cynical HF poster hat on, but I guess if I put my amateur zoologist hat on, theoretically Lions are supposed to be the kings of the animal kingdom? And when we finally discover the C. Stampeder species maybe their primary mode of hunting is trampling their prey to death?

Hard to say really.

Lions and elk live on completely separate continents, thus your opinion is null and void.



I'm actually pretty surprised with how well the logos turned out.

"Lions invade Elk territory, win big game on the road"

Went to a rugby tournament 7 years ago in salt lake. All the bars had cfl games on and the most popular was the Eskimo’s. Quite enjoyable watching down there.

I like the logo, but the name should have just been the Elk instead of Elks. It rolls off the tongue awkwardly imo

 

[MoontoScott]

"Once an Elk, always an Elk"-- which of course makes sense.

 

[joestevens29]

I like the name, but the logos are a disappointment. They had a chance to really rebrand to something neat and they went so damn plain.

 

[North Cole]

Like the name and no opinion on the EE. Seems to be some haters for the new logo but idk if that's residual angst over having to go through the process? Or people actually think it sucks?

Primary and secondary logos are sick, really well done. Secondary is nice how they incorporated it to look like a football. Primary is interesting, the flat head angled up gives it more of a totem feel, seems like it has some aboriginal influences.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Brutal new name imho.

 

[T-Funk]

Logos cool. Name does not sound right at all even if you want to pretend the proper saying is elkS. I'm wondering if "elks" was even an option on that EE Football Team poll. I thought the option was "elk"

 

[yukoner88]

There's more poles on this board now, than there is in all of Warsaw

 

[Kent Nilsson]

I like the name and that they kept the colors.
