Thrashers vs Rangers
 |  | |
The Aesthetics
Even though I didn't like the team's name, I've liked the Thrashers' logo ever since it was first unveiled when the team started playing in 1999. The Rangers, on the other hand, not so much. I think they should upgrade to the shoulder logo on the third jersey. Much nicer.
Thrashers
The Nickname
If the Thrasher is living in a national park, the park Ranger is protecting it and therefore has the upper hand.

The Analysis
I don't know why it is that almost all the pro sports teams in Atlanta have to be named for birds, but the hockey team got burned. Falcons and hawks are birds of prey and despite "thrashing" being a good verb for use in defeating opponents, the thrasher is what, a songbird? Come on. By default, the Rangers take this one.

I have thrashers under my bird feeder. It's the state bird of Georgia ... I'm sure you know that. You're right, though, it's not a very good name.
