Hmmm. I always have associated the name with the outdoors, not an animal.

I assume he meant the logo. Not the name.

Done. Flames logo winning. Oilers logo losing!

For the longest time I didn't even realize it was a bear, I thought it was some weird shape with a forest and sun on it.

Not that I should be publicly admitting that but oh well

I agree the name is dumb. Every sports name should have an S at the end.

Nice logo though.

Same. Too much detail. I much prefer a simple one like what the Flyers have.

[Reign of Fire]

They may beat us at the Honda Center, but they will never beat our logo!!!

Odd they are using 6 secondary logos and the Flames is the wrong colour.

Just for fun I decided to rank all the primary logos:

1-10: 1. Hawks, 2. Wings, 3. Wild, 4. Devils, 5. Flames, 6. Blues, 7. Flyers, 8. Bruins, 9. Habs, 10: BJs

11-20: 11: Pens, 12: Leafs, 13: Sabres, 14: Avs 15: Sharks, 16. Preds, 17. Knights, 18: Jets, 19: Panthers, 20: Stars

21-31: 21: Ducks 22: Lightning, 23: Islanders 24: Rangers, 25: Yotes, 26: Sens, 27: Nucks, 28: Kings, 29: Canes, 30: Oilers, 31: Caps

A few patterns I found:
-Classic original 6 and 12 logos are generally rated high
-Creative logos which combine the city and name are generally rated high to moderate
-Animal logos are generally rated moderate to low
-Logos which spell out the team city or name are generally rated low

Nothing like a good old fashioned CalgaryPuck Jihad!

Explained above.

I think they have perfect jerseys. Hell their shoulder patches are better than half the teams in the leagues primary logos

Should have stayed with the Northstars...

[Young_Guns]

That isn't the Flames primary (but it should be). That also isn't the original Mighty Ducks logo. The retro Flames vs the original Mighty Ducks (eggplant) is a tough call. As it stands though, the retro Flames most def beats the Ducks 'alternate'.

Well the Wild logo is green and has a star in it.

The North Stars is a far better name than the Wild though. I also wish Dallas called themselves the Lone Stars.

True. Also just not a fan of team names that don't end in an 'S'. Lightning, Wild, Galaxy, Heat, Thunder etc.

[McG]

Voted flames! Would vote again!

[driveway]

We beat the Ducks and now we're up against the Wild in the Quarter-Finals. It's a close-run thing right now Flames at 49% Wild at 51%.

It's all about beating the Ducks somewhere other than the Saddledome. Gotta start somewhere.
