I don't believe so.... remember Hamilton also once had a NHL team named the Tigers.
The ill-fated "Cowboys" history was still fresh in the mind, but not seriously considered.
Nelson Skalbania mused about naming them the Bulls, but there was Birmingham WHA team of that name.
I don't recall much public debate at the time.
