Expansion Name Game

[LoneCoyote]

Las Vegas Vipers or Aliens would be a good name.

Las Vegas Chips

I like it.

Hamilton Hounds with the Soo Greyhounds uniforms ripped off exactly. So effing good looking.

Yeah they do look very good. But the proximity to Detroit might have people screaming they are to similar or are ripping off the wings. Same uniform different colors could still be pretty good looking.

Great point. Gold and green combo is dying for a comeback.

I'm very biased against this since green and gold are Australia's national sporting colors.

I like Las Vegas Aces too bad the name is already in use. LA Kings vs Las Vegas Aces sounds fun.

Aces over Kings

 

[whlscowt]

Las Vegas Atoms. Use the Simpsons, Springfield Atoms logo, and base it off the fact that they used to test atom bombs in the area. Seriously, I just read that people in LV could witness mushroom clouds up until 1963.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Las Vegas Sin (Why not? We got a team in the league called the Devils)
Las Vegas Lucky (it's what everyone who goes to Vegas is looking to get in some way shape or form)
Las Vegas Strip

Seattle Rain
Seattle Millionaires

I think I'm going to punk just trying to think up of a names for Toronto and Quebec.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Okay, so spinning off of another thread I thought it would be fun to guess the names of the rumored expansion teams..Here are already a few for Vegas





So for the others..

The Seattle Baristas

The Toronto Biebers

And the obvious the Nordiques will go back to that.

Seattle Kraccons or whatever
Quebec Nordiques
The Vegas what the hell is Hockey Gamblers
Toronto Weak Sisters

btw--for those who are predicting Phoenix will move---I think the Devils move first

 

[The Feckless Puck]

You know, since Nellis is just north of the city, I'd say that the Las Vegas Vipers or Thunderbirds might make a good name.

I kinda wanted the Vipers for an Arizona team but since Luke will be transitioning from the F-16 to the F-35 that kinda goes out the window.

Reaper drones are remotely flown from Creech, which isn't that far from Vegas. A little morbid though, and potentially political.

Be a shame to have a Vegas team name not refer to the history of the mob or gambling there.

Seattle will probably bring back the Metropolitans name.

 

[0point1]

I like Seattle Metropolitans especially if they have the nickname Seattle Mets but I imagine the NY baseball team wouldn't like that.

Las Vegas Mobsters sounds cool but also sounds very minor league. Las Vegas Dealers? Las Vegas High Rollers? Can't think of any other ones.

 

[British yote]

Vegas gamblers?

 

[letowskie]

I like Las Vegas Aces too bad the name is already in use. LA Kings vs Las Vegas Aces sounds fun.

Nah, LV drag queens would make the best opposition to the Kings.

 

[Desert Ice 11]

To be honest Las Vegas Aces sounds pretty good..two reasons..

Nellis, Creech, and Area 51 are military installations all with great pilots and one of them has amazing pilots. But I can't tell you about that location

AAANNNDDD

Because of the Casinos

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

They could be the Vegas Dams, after nearby Hoover Dam. And of course their fans would be the DamNation.

The Vegas Beavers

 

[yotesreign]

two suggestions
for Vegas

Sin City Gamblers
Las Vegas Blackjacks (or would the 'Hawks object?)

Not sure about Toronto #2

maybe Toronto Maple Bacons
or Maple Donuts
or Maple Syrups
something with Maple in it

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Btw, the two junior hockey programs that are there are called:
Nevada Storm
Las Vegas Wranglers

 

[PerpetualTankYear]

If Seattle aren't the Metropolitans they're doing something wrong.

 

[Desert Ice 11]

If Seattle aren't the Metropolitans they're doing something wrong.

Would the NHL allow a team to have the same/similar name as a division?

They should take the Nordiques...The Seattle Nordiques .. Then that will make two markets happy. Seattle got a team and the Nordiques were brought back.
