lol at Scorch.

It looks like the finalists were picked from opening Roget's Thesaurus, flipping to the F section and finding 'Flames'.

Scorch is both lame and a joke. They should keep the Thunder name but is they insist on changing it to one of the five chosen they should go with Blaze... although I think Blazers sounds better.

^^^ Damn. That is amazing. We should adopt that regardless of what the team is called.

I vaguely recall having a student 'name that space' competition at the U of C and it wound up being voted as the penisdome or something similarly stupid and then they just ignored that and named it something normal instead.
I recall that when the Flames moved to Calgary there was a fans vote on the name and we decided to keep the Flames name.

A refreshing change from the Western theme you'd expect to come up in a vote - especially back then.

If you never knew about the legend that has become Scorch, then "Stockton Scorch" wouldn't seem half bad.

Realistically I'd like to see Blaze. But Scorch would be just amazing.

"Fire" is just..no.

Can anyone help me figure out why I never see the images such as this scorch jersey mock up? I am assuming some setting is blocking it, but not sure what.

I had to disconnect the Firefox add-on called "Disconnect" as it was blocking some images.

I imagine the logo will be almost exactly the same as this:



just with Stockton instead of Abbotsford.

I hope they at least change the logo. That Heat logo is terrible.
