Rebranded Things/Places you still use by their old names

[ERON]

Sugar Smacks and Super Sugar Crisp.

On occasion, I'll refer to Final Fantasy 6 as Final Fantasy 3, since that's what the SNES version was called

[Ultimo Gallos]

Here's one that I doubt anyone here has heard of.

Out where I grew up,outside Moss Point MS,there is a catfish restaurant.It has been owned by at least 5 different people. Each time it gets a new owner it gets a name change. Started off as Catfish Buffet. Then for about a year it was Catfish Cabin. Since then it has changed names at least 3 times but most people still call it Catfish Cabin.

The gas station up the block from where I grew up will always be Omega despite the fact it hasn't been that since like '90 and has been like seven other gas stations since.

I still refer to the Penguins' arena as "the Energy Center." Much better than the place sounding like a hardware store.

Likewise, there is no way in hell I will ever use the new name of the Pirates' spring-training facility. McKechnie Field? Great, classic name. LECOM Park? Ewww, no thanks.

The outdoor music venue in Burgettstown, PA is still the Star Lake Amphitheater in my eyes, even though it hasn't had that name in years.

Citrus Bowl for me as well. I loved that WWE never once used the stadium's new name either in advertising WrestleMania or at the show itself.

Ditto for the Blue Jays' stadium. It was the SkyDome when I toured the place in sixth grade and it always will be for me.

Yes! Star Lake.

And it was NEVER Mellon Arena, it was and always will be the Civic Arena.

In the winter months I like to get up and have nice hot bowl of... Porridge!

AKA Uncle Toby's Oats as the youngens call it.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

My local football stadium has had so many f***ing different sponsor names over the years, everyone just calls it Shark Park.

I still call MetLife Stadium "Giants Stadium," even though it was never called that. Giants Stadium was the name of the stadium it replaced.

Same for me calling Citi Field "Shea Stadium" even tho it's a new stadium

[ToyfareMark]

I still call Nesquik Nestle Quik.

Something a bit more German based:

The soccer stadium in Frankfurt was known for the majority of its life cycle as the Forest Stadium ("Waldstadion") because it is situated near a forest.
After a bank bought sponsorship rights, it is officially called the "Commerzbank Arena", but nobody including me uses that name, calling it Forest Stadium still.

A local town originally known as Coal Creek changed its name to Lake City when the mining petered out and they wanted to focus on tourism for nearby Norris Lake. This was the name for decades.

A few years ago, someone expressed interest in building a water park there (though it's so small that no one has been able to answer, "Where?") and with the proximity to Knoxville and the watering down and romanticizing of hillbilly culture going on right now, they wanted a theme to match.

With this in mind, city leaders risked a lawsuit from the copyright holders of the song "Rocky Top" and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to legally change the name of the town and replace interstate signage to Rocky Top, TN.

Yes, they actually did this.

To the surprise of no one, the park has never materialized because, again... there's nowhere to build it, and everyone still calls it Lake City.

Seeing KFC mentioned reminded me that my mamaw (born in 1912, a few miles down the road from the original cafe that grew into the chain) referred to it as Colonel Sanders until her dying day.

Disney MGM Studios, rather than Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Rocky Raccoon]

Ron Artest.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Sears Tower for me, I don't even know what it's called now.

Now for St. Louis area one. I still call our Amphitheater Riverport. Even though he now called the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater and had a couple other names before that. The area it is in the business plaza by it is still called Riverport.

Scottrade Center is getting a new name soon, and I'm sure I will still be calling it Scotttrade for a long time. Took me forever when it went from the original name Kiel Center to Savvis Center.

I still say Skydome instead of Roger Centre.

[edgestar]

I still call the XL Center, the Hartford Civic Center

[Deleted]

Locally, the venue WWF/WWE always ran out of used to be the Huntington Civic Center, but now it's the Big Sandy Superstore Arena. I'll always call it the old name over that clunky, corporatized mouthful.

[Deleted]

No matter what it's officially named at any given time, it's still the ECW Arena to me, dammit!

[The Legend of Groose]

I know it will be one later. San Diego Chargers.

[Mrs. Potato Dick]

Progressive Field will ALWAYS be The Jake. Period. I f***ing hated the name change. Cleveland was, at one point, the only city with the three major sports (NFL, MLB and NBA) and none of their venues had sponsorship. Now they all f***ing do.

Also...this one will be regional...Circle K's used to be called Dairy Mart. And before that Lawson's. I still call it Lawson's. Because they had the BOMB ASS chip dip. Hell, I can go into a..Circle K today and still get Lawson's branded chip dip.
