I'm about 90% sure it's going to be the Adirondack Thunder. Searching Trademarks and all that, the only Adirondack trademark registered lately by the Calgary Flames is the Thunder. And it looks like it was updated on Jan 27, 2015 (a couple weeks after initial reports of it being registered) and then updated again on Feb 2nd.

I can't seem to find the logo that's trademarked under this though. It's still listed as a "wordmark with no specific colour or font".

I know I have bitched about this before and I promise it'll be the last time, but I simply don't understand that at all. Why not keep the Stockton Thunder, a brand that has worked very well there for many many years? Just seems like a FU to the local people to take that name away from them and move it across the country to a community that has no connection to "Thunder" at all.
Calgary Flames
Stockton Thunder
Adirondack Scorch
would have been perfect

answer is $$$
new team name and logo means new merchandise for fans to buy.
Doesn't help pay for the operating cost of a team if the fans don't buy new jerseys.

I'm beginning to think they will keep the Flames name and maybe give the jerseys an overhaul. While they trademarked Adirondack Thunder, they would still have the trademark on all the Adirondack Flames stuff too. I'm also not sure the ECHL wants the Flames to use the Thunder moniker in the ECHL as with them absorbing some of the Central Hockey League teams they would have 2 teams named the Thunder as the Wichita Thunder were one of the teams absorbed.

I'm not sure how big of a deal that would be. The AHL currently has two teams named the Admirals (Norfolk and Milwaukee) and they have co-existed for 14 years.
I get where you are coming from, but I don't know if it's a big deal in the lower leagues (especially ECHL) like it would be at the NHL level and marketing issues and all that.

That's extremely unimaginative. The Stockton Thunder logo is pretty much identical.
Change the font, add some red.
