Trust me, they won't even be happy with that. They'll probably say it's a derivitive of Eskimos, so it can't work.What’s wrong with just changing it to the “Esks”?
Easy enough

A few tweeters suggested Edmonton Energy which isn't bad really but then you'll have all the oil and gas haters take to the media demanding that it be changed to read Edmonton Alternate Energies.
Was the anthem really ever an issue in the CFL? I honestly don't remember seeing anyone kneeling, but then again I really wasn't paying attention to it either.

Time working against Canadian Football League and players
Sounds like we are getting closer to outright cancellation.
What viable plan did they ever have?
I don't think they ever had one.
They should be doing a poll to find out how many players are willing to come to Canada for pro-rated contracts. If the answer is not a lot, then just work on next season.The big 4 major sports leagues with billions of dollars in resources have had to move mountains to get to the point where a season restart is still only likely to happen.
A 2020 CFL season has never been realistic.
zzzzzzzzz.........Edmonton Football Club works for me.
Edmonton FC.zzzzzzzzz.........
My wife's uncle's cousin was chewed up pretty badly by a wolf about 40 years ago. How dare you suggest such a name. Still brings back painful memories.Personally hate anthems at sporting events unless it's played to honour the winning team/athlete in the Olympics.
As for the Eskimos name, I like the tradition of the name, but if it is offensive to some, then it should be changed. It's probably time to do so. Unfortunately there are not any good names that begin with E if you want to keep the EE logo.
Might be time to go in a different direction all together. Safest way is to name them after an animal. Edmonton Wolves, Edmonton Lynx? Animal mascots and marketing opportunites with animal named teams are plentiful.

Define "some". Then we must decide at what number it makes sense to consider a name change.
How many people does that have to be? 10?, 100?, 1000? etc
