Edmonton Football Team announces shortlist of new name candidates

The Edmonton Football Team says it has a shortlist of seven candidates for its new name.

Elk, Evergreens, Evergolds, Eclipse, Elkhounds, Eagles and Elements are listed as possibilities on an online survey released Monday.

The CFL team dropped the name Eskimos last year.

It followed a similar decision by the NFL’s Washington team as pressure mounts on teams to eliminate racist or stereotypical names.
