The Elk seem to be the name that's been hanging around since the beginning.
I know the teams was probably never in a win situation with the name change but......... yikes.......

Woof.... that's a bad list. They must be trying to direct it to a choice between Elk and Eagles without directly doing so for some reason. Like, Elkhound? Why name yourself after a dog named after another animal when the other animal is already better and simpler? Evergreens
maybe, but the Evergolds has to just be a straight up joke/pun based on evergreens? Eclipse and Elements are just abstract nonsense for a sports team...
Gonna call it for Elks, its actually pretty good, unique in the world of sports, and is native to Canada at least if not the Edmonton area (don't know exactly). Eagles as a name isn't bad but has to be the most generic team name besides Bulldogs or something, not to mention there is already the NFL Eagles.
