When they joined the AHL was there any controversy over the Admirals name since Norfolk already had it? Did they have to pay Norfolk to be able to keep the name? Probably would be worth mentioning if someone can find some verifiable source on that. 67.46.0.13 06:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
With or without the "Milwaukee Admirals" text? The isolated head is on the jerseys and on theahl.com. ccwaters 02:46, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
New jerseys and logo not possible until 2008. They didn't get anything approved before January 06.-- Admiralfreak 00:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm really iffy on the founding date. The team started out as an amatuer club. When did it go pro? When it went to the IHL?? The Hershey Bears are another example of amatuer to pro. ccwaters 04:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Sirois win record might be slightly higher. The 119 tally does not include any possible wins from the 83-84 season when he apparently played 4 games for the Ads. I can't find complete stats for him that year. If someone has that data, could you please add it on. Thanks ccwaters 12:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
I don't see the problem with having specificity when it comes to the Admiral's colors. They are definitely cardinal (color) and Vegas gold (See this for what color Vegas gold is). I would rather have seen KnoxSGT put in some edit descriptions, but other than that I think his edits improve the page. Cheers-- Baron Larf 20:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Can we come to a consensus as to the proper format for the founding date, rather than reverting and re-reverting? 1970-1971 is accurate, but January 1970 is even more so (showing that the club was formed in advance of the hockey season, halfway in the previous season). Any reason why it has to be expressed in the two-year season format? -- Chancemichaels 03:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels

Coincidentally but unrelated, the two cities' baseball franchises share a reverse affiliation, as the Nashville Sounds are the AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.
I wouldn't say it is unrelated, especially given The Admirals were purchased in June 2005 by a group of investors, led by Harris J. Turer, including Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, assistant general manager Gord Ash and pitcher Ben Sheets.
Turer is also #2 shareholder of the Brewers (as of 2006) according to http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/harristurer.html and is on the board of directors http://www.biztimes.com/news/2010/4/30/bravo-harris-turer-majority-owner-ceo-of-milwaukee-admirals-hockey-club
Craig Leipold was the majority owner of the Predators - at that time he was on the stadium commission for Milwaukee's Miller Park http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/news_cut/archive/2008/01/who_is_craig_leipold.shtml
Also, Frontier airlines currently offers nonstop daily service from Milwaukee to/from Nashville - which began with the Milwaukee-based Midwest Express. ME was the official airline of the Brewers, Admirals and Predators at the time of the Brewers and Admirals purchases ( http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/36169999.html). In minimal googling, I was unable to find a more direct connection between Midwest Express and the Brewers/Admirals organizations.
But basically, the point is that the three franchises are bound together by mutual business interests — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pagelm ( talk • contribs) 16:15, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
