cross16 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm suprised Flames made the final. My impression was the owner wanted nothing to do with the Flames so he woudln't turn of Canucks fans. Heat is pretty bad. I didn't mind Storm, but really none of those 4 were particlarily good(outside of Flames which I woudln't want them named anyway becuase i hate that "baby Flames" term). I thought Jets, Pilots or something like that would have been a better way to go. Oh well. Fans are the ones who will buy the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamesFanatic Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 What a stupid name. I'm not a fan at all. Go Heat Go! Lets go Heat! It would only work if Wellwod was on the team, beause it would sound like the fans were saying "eat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren1 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Not a big fan. I was really hoping they would be the Abbotsford Jets. The Heat is just...dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody1774 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 No worries, in a couple of seasons they will be the Yellowknife Pandas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfkevin Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 No worries, in a couple of seasons they will be the Yellowknife Pandas. Yellowknife Bi-Polar Bears would be awesomer. That's a hell of a bus trip to places like San Antonio, though. Or do they get to fly in the AHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terence_fong Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I like Storm. But my current preferred hockey team name is "Cool Breeze" Heat..does the owner have a hard-on for basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 They were all terrible choices, although I voted for Ice Hawks. Heat just reminds me of the basketball team too much, it doesn't work for us. Something avaiation related would have been way better. *sigh* I guess we live with it now.

Kurtlovesports Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 The Heat? You have to be kidding me.... It's like the Minnesota Wild (a stupid name in my books). Non-plural is not the way to go... And it's not even like Abbotsford get very hot weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agulati Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I guess they chose the name because it had something to do with the Flames (Flames are hot you know ) Stupid name though. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I like it. Obviously, "Flames" doesn't sell in the lower mainland and like others have said, "heat" still has something to do with "Flames." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time September rolls around, we'll be fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakofnature Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Now that I've had a few hours, it's starting to grow on me. By the time September rolls around, we'll be fine with it. True dat. I felt the same way about Mustangs when they came out with the new model a few years back. Now I love them. Any idea what the logo will be like?

Any idea what the logo will be like? No word yet (the name was only revealed by press release), so I think there will be a unveiling shindig soon. As long as it doesn't look like the Oilers third jersey ... as some early amateur photoshop designs have shown. Season tickets go on sale at the end of the month.

murray1 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I like it. Obviously, "Flames" doesn't sell in the lower mainland and like others have said, "heat" still has something to do with "Flames." I liked it too and was really glad they picked Heat. I am surprised so many people don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N_O_D_ Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 It just sounds so wishy washy. The logo should be an electric heater set to a sensible Medium, or maybe a comfortable sweater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody1774 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I just bought an electric blanket. If I set it to level 6 it puts off just the right amount of Heat. I suggest the Electro Blanket as the new mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenix_sk1 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Put me in the "Like It" category. It's subtle enough to have it's own identity, but also enough to show that they are affiliated with the Flames. I too was surprised that so many people here hated it. Oh well, too bad for you!

flamesfan1991 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Like it. Heat is a direct result from a Flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thyme-balm Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'm a big thumbs up for "Heat" It's got that "affiliated" ring to it. Let's BRING ON THE HEAT! (and other such expressions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Don Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 The Fraser Valley gets ridiculously hot at times in the summer. What the has to do with the hockey season, I don't know. I didn't mind the Flames (I assumed that's what they were gonna go with from the start) and the Ice Hawks wasn't bad. Storm was happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
