I'm personnally not a fan of any of those names, but would pick Aviators from the lot. I'm sure it will be a winner logo with a plane on fire.
Ha, no kidding. As for your first point, clearly the uniforms should have Calgary Red, Winnipeg Blue and Vancouver green. Tying in with that, and as to your second point, use this

aviator logo that was falsely rumored to be the Canucks logo before the jersey redesign they did last year. Modify it to Calgary colors, and substitue Flaming "C's" on the goggles, while flipping the "V" visual cues upside down so it resembles an "A" for Abbostford or Aviators...that would really blur the line between the two organizations.

Anything to do with aviation will probably work well as one of the City's big things is the Abbotsford Airshow...

Personally I like the Frazer Valley Fire.....there's a wink to the Flames connection but not specific enough to object to - they could have plaid shirt give-away night....

Just call us the westjets, get free travel.

They should be called the Westjets and sponsored by Westjet (it's cheaper to fly into Abbotsford than Vancouver).

Maybe then they won't go bust. :P

That just sounds cool and ties in well. No clue what the crest would look like though.

I would like to submit my proxy vote for "Firebombers" that is awesome.

Non-plural abstract team names are so 1990s.
