I mean... Bangor Maine is the birthplace of Paul Bunyan.
Could have even done something with Moose (being the state animal) or...with their sea-faring enterprises (lobster is a HUGE part of their economy up there)
Timber was supposed to be a bit more clever name than going with Lumberjacks or Woodsmen...I am not a huge fan of a team of Mooses, and for sea creatures we have teams like Kraken and the Armada, even Berserkers, so I thought the maritime theme is a little bit overdone.

While I'm not sure yet about the jersey color (maybe it'll grow on me) I kind of like the logo. Interesting location too.
The subforum probably needs to be moved down if you want to keep the teams in alphabetical order. Edit: oh already happened.

Oh I don't disagree that the maritime stuff is pretty well booked. Timber just to me means that....maybe you'll be falling down a lot?

With that said, welcome to the New England fam. We'll see if your local proximity results in increased Wolfpack scouting. It's just a short drive up 95.

What’s with GMs forcing useless rebrands on teams that don’t need it? Everyone just wants to feel special with their own brand.

The Maine Wild would've been a cool name, despite the NHL correlation.

@Citizen of Adraa any fear that your new name promotes the destruction of natural resources at a time when we should be fighting to preserve them?

Halifax hasn't won a damn thing in 20+ seasons, so I'm not against a facelift
RE: Halifax Raiders relocation - RaginCajun - 03-06-2020
I'm very angry about this rebrand. I'm going to livestream myself gargling glass on Twitch.
