On June 1, 2021, it was formally announced that the new Edmonton team name would be the Edmonton Elks, a name used by the Edmonton football club of 1922.
The team colors, green and gold, have remained essentially the same over the years with only minor modifications to the uniform or logo until 2021 when the EE logo was changed to a stylized image of an elk and the Elks helmet logo was changed to antlers.
