For now we are changing the top or "above the parting line"
It should be similiar to the difference between a blaze and Sabre.
The choice of names so far are few.
Laser or Lazer:
Dagger ( if it is really overstable)
I would like to use Warrior since we dont use it anymore, but it may be too soon and possibly confuse people.
Any one with an idea for a KC roc like disc name feel free to PM me.
If I use it we will send you a box of them.
~ Dave McCormack



You heard it folks....come up with a bad [*****] name, and you might just win a box of the newest midrange!

I for one like the name Warrior, and don't think it would cause TOO much confusion.

(2)The element believed in ancient and medieval civilizations to fill all space above the sphere of the moon and to compose the stars and planets.
(3) Physics. An all-pervading, infinitely elastic, massless medium formerly postulated as the medium of propagation of electromagnetic waves.

I mean come on... its the Element that makes up the heavens.

Gateway may be trying to make a disc that flies similar to a roc (it is a great disc without question), but they don't need to be that pathetic and just alter the spelling of the name.

if its simalar to the element, "Doppelganger"

Huh... Well there ya go, great minds think a like! :)

Maybe since it's retooling, they should call it the "Elemental" :cool:

Cardinal

Everyone knows that the Red Sock would be a much better disc in a sweep. :cool:

Gateway Magnesium
Gateway Tungsten
Gateway Zinc
Gateway Titanium
Gateway Lithium
all different kinds of elements
i also like the Gateway Arch

QUARK!!!

rok rock was a joke...

A retooled Element should be called:

The Isotope.

rok rock was a joke...



If an honest joke, I apologize. Tired of all the idiotic posts we get on here.

Oh, and to elaborate on the Quark suggestion... how about...

Lepton :cool:

Serpent

Gateway Line (nothings straighter than that)

Gateway Compound

Gateway Ion

Gateway Metallurgy

Gateway Transition

Rope

Apex

Gateway Keystone.
Or if it is a 150 Class, it could be the Keystone Light.

The Gateway Bullet

It flys straight and can do some damage

I am pretty sure there has already been a disc name the bullet back in the 80's

If you are going to go with the retooled Element theme then use one of the elementals:

Fire (Flame) or Ice would be good, water and earth, well, not so good.

I like Contour, it goes with the arched line of the SL Gateway theme.

These are all American Indian namesand there meanings:

Lakota friend
Onida the expected one
Patamon raging
Pilan supreme essence
Taima crash of thunder
Taipa to spread wings
Tama thunderbolt
Yuma son of the chief

how about the gateway maverick

With the new laser aiming system it flies straight onto target

Or the Gateway Patriot

Gateway Krypton
Gateway Kingbolt
Gateway Atoll
Gateway Apex
Gateway Aphid
Gateway Adder
Gatweay Sparrow
Gateway Skybolt
Gateway Starstreak
Gateway Posedion
Gateway Streaker

Gateway Fox

Titan

Just to clear things up, PM Gateway_Disc_Sports with names. Also, its not a retool, its a seperate disc with the same bottom as the Element, but a different nose and stripper.

That said, everyone is coming up with killer names (And a few that are already discs LOL). My favorites are:
Titan
Isotope
Nemesis
Plasma
Excalibur


Keep up the good work!

I made the top 5. Sweet!

Thats my opinion, Daves got the final say in things.

Nova or Super Nova(if really overstable)

Katana
Kodachi

how about "Zeus"

Deez Nutz

j/k

How 'bout Sky Knife or Air Knife? If it is anything like the Speed Demon it should be named that...

Midrange? hmmmmmmmmmm

B-Line
Stone
Stones throw
Shocker
Bullet
Bull
Crash
Donkey
Stratagary
Thunder Stone
Gecko
fly solo
projectile thunder'
thunder bee
Solar wind
zero gravity
orbit
orb
glow orb
insta score dropper
growth hormone

sorry if I accidently repeated any already posted above
some were just thoughtless humor in a brainstoming stuppor

The Gateway Arch? OK, I'll go away now :)

Nova or Super Nova(if really overstable)



The SuperNova is a Innova Ultimate disc.

Katana is pretty cool too! I hope David checks this thread, everyone is coming up with names that should well suit a Gateway disc. If I had it my way, David would pick his 4 or 5 favorites, then start a poll to see what is most popular.

WOW!! LOL

If you guys name it the "louse" I'll throw gateway for life!

Being born in St. Louis ... here are my suggestions for a Gateway disc name.
Pathfinder
Revelation (show me?)
Explorer
Huck Finn
Jet (McDonnald Douglas would love it)

re-name the element the revelation and the new more stable disc the solution------boom, done. [ i am not trying to take credit for either though]

The Gateway Gofer

I like the concept, but the Element is here to stay. The next few discs after the one were all trying to name, will be the Odysey (SP?) and the Scream. (Dave?)

I like the idea of narrowing it down and having a poll.
I also like the idea of gettiong the players involved like this. It would probably help naming the discs if players were throwing it already or at least if I were :D.
here are a few at the top of the list in no particular order.
Bullet
Orbitor
Xenon
Cobalt
Aviator
Laser
Titan
Matrix
Apex
( Apex might be better suited for one of the 3 new high speed drivers this spring) We already have Scream, Blast, and Odyssey ready to rock for them though)

If someone knows how to start a poll using these names we can have a preliminary test poll.
Keep the names coming, nothing is carved in stone until we send it in to the PDGA.

I still think that the new, more overstable version of the Element should be called the Hellement. Send my box of them fed ex, please. :D

3 new drivers!?!? Care to elaborate? Makes me drool...Elaborate Please!!!!!

To narrow down that big'o list of names i posted earlier. Here are my favorites:

Mimic
Hellcat
Ghost


and to add another one:

Chupacabra

I'll start your poll if you putt the KNIFE on there :Dsince another person also said something close to that and they were not PM'd, as the post asked.. :p

The super terrific happy good time fun disc!!! :D

I'm pretty sure we metioned this before.
We will build a new top for the Illusion spirit and Speed demon wings someday.
It will most likely eliminate the abrupt transition right above the parting line. Similiar to what we are doing with the Element but without adding the additional plastic or blunt nose.
We may also thicken the flight plate some so they are not so hard to turn over when new.
Dont expect these discs out anytime soon as we need to get the Evolution plastic worked out in the Spirit, Illusion Sabre and Blaze before we make any more discs!!
PS, There will be another disc out before these 3 that will be between a sabre and an Illusion.
We are designing a disc that will fly further based on Spin and glide not Speed!

Go Ahead add the knife and start the poll.

I beat them to the punch. I can add knife if you really want though.

Sounds like a great disc! I'm really loving what you are doing David, and I am glad to be a part of it!

I'd drop the Bullet as that name had already been used. I'd also drop Aviator as it's a little to close to Aviar. And I may be wrong here but wasn't the Laser also the name of a limited disc once made.
Something that was rather large and stiff as a board. I know Lavone has one just not 100% sure about the name. Laser or Phaser??

Enterprise?
Quark?
Corona?
Tasmanian Devil?
Mongoose?
Heatwave?
My favorite.... The Siren.

I hope I win. :D

yeah...i suggested the quark earlier...

they didn't like it.

I still kind of like the razor.

Element Theme:
Cobalt, Xenon, Neon, Argon....



I was thinking if you are going to make more Element verisons you could Keep the Element name and put the element symbol from the Periodic Table behind it, Example the Element - Co
Element - Ar

Just at thought....
Cheers,
Matt

My new list:
Katana
Kodachi
Eclipse

yeah razor... :cool:

well lets see... they have the sabre, scout, warrior... so going with this theme... how about 'hunter' or 'stalker'
continuing the sword theme of "sabre" Cutlass, Dagger, Katana, Rapier, Scimitar, or even just 'sword'

just some ideas...

kavu- avaiator term for clear visability above all.

Quicksilver
Mercury

My new list:
Katana
Kodachi
Eclipse



Discraft already used Eclipse, no longer made.

panic

There's a slogan to go with "The Razor"...granted...it's not the best.

The razor will shave strokes off your game... :D

How about

Gateway SOLO
Gateway neXt
Gateway BFG
Gateway CRO (rearrange of ROC)
Gateway X
Gateway enigma
Gateway Slider
Gateway NIGHTMARE ( to go with the demons in your bag, to Scare your opponents :eek:)

how about : BUSHwhacker!
kidding, maybe: harpy,wraith,raptor,chinnook,kodiak,or blizzard

or what about: pulsar, gamma, meglodon,diablo,brick(haha),tyrant,or triumph

cutter
deuce
xanax
respirator
repellent
the nat
dragonfly
rapid
bazooka

LMAO!!!! Xanax?

Kid.
roc,
Pm me your new address so we can get you your discs.
Can you go by your old address and get the other ones?
If so Keep both sets we send!!

Xanax sounds cool, what's wrong with " Excalibur "?

how about just give the disc a regular ppl name....like steve, or bob, or juan

start a whole new style in naming discs.....

Enterprise?

Corona?
Tasmanian Devil?
Mongoose?
Heatwave?
My favorite.... The Siren.

I hope I win. :D



The Mirage?
The Kite?
The Foil or Airfoil?
The Tectonic?
The Mantle

The Gateway Gunslinger
The Device

Charm, Fade, Streak, Void, Pike!

Karma, Rock, Rocker, Slinger, Gaviar, Falcon (Millenium should use that one)...

How about the Stick, you know stick it close or in the chains.

The other day as we drove to a tournament (4 hours in the car) we tried to name as many discs as we could that started with each letter of the alphabet.
We managed to get through most of them.
There are, however, no names that begin with Y.
I think a cool Y name would be perfect.

Yeti : A large creature, not human but walking upright, allegedly living in the mountains of Tibet.

Yeo�man : A diligent, dependable worker. or An attendant, servant, or lesser official in a royal or noble household.

Yt�tri�um : A silvery metallic element used in various metallurgical applications, notably to increase the strength of magnesium and aluminum alloys.

How 'bout th' "Double Helix".........! :eek:

I haven't read through this whole thread, so I apologize if these are redundant.

1) Stitchplate
2) Whine
3) Quantum
4) Quark
5) Toasted Ravioli :)
6) Arch

Since it'll be similar to the element, how about Element O? The O both for overstable and like oxygen, a definite plus to have with you at all times. :)

Thunderbolt

Bolt

Beefpup
Pig

Thunderbolt



Already used on a disc, many many, many years ago!

maelstrom-a powerful often violent whirlpool sucking in objects within a given radius

Actually, that would be a better name for a basket. Come on Gateway, make a line of baskets and then ship me one for naming it!

The TeeBird is technichally registered as Thunderbird right?
Also, Phoenix was also a disc. Former distance record holder I beleive.
