Huckleberry Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Maybe a bit early but read on TSN they listed 13 possible names. https://www.tsn.ca/report-seattle-nhl-group-registers-13-names-1.972946 Edited January 21, 2018 by blåbär Quote
ubkev Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 that. Literally any of the other names is better. Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 21, 2018 Author Report Posted January 21, 2018 ###### that. Literally any of the other names is better. Don't like any of the names to be honest. Quote
carpandean Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 ###### that. Literally any of the other names is better. Gotta disagree. May not be my favorite, but definitely better than several of the others. Quote
Winston Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 My vote is for the Seattle Amazons.. They were warriors, so a fitting team name. Obviously would also pay homage to Seattle’s Amazon HQ. Plus, a one-breasted warrior would make for an awesome logo. I think I’m joking. But maybe not :P Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 The Seattle coffee beans..... Ok, I have nothing Quote
Stoner Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 The Seattle coffee beans..... Ok, I have nothing Baristas? Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 Baristas?Now you may be onto something there Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) I'd love to see the Seals brought back. Maybe even revive the trippy original Oakland logo. https://goo.gl/images/HyL9i7 Totems is good too since it's a legacy name. The rest suck. Edited January 21, 2018 by PromoTheRobot Quote
SwampD Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 Of all the names, I like Kraken the best. Guarantee this would play on the scoreboard when they hit the ice. Quote
Skibum Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 No love for Sasquatch? A far more important legend than the Kraken ever was in the PNW region. Quote
ubkev Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 I like the alliteration for Seattle teams. Seahawks, Sonics, Sounders....Mariners(there's a reason they'll never win anything) Go with an S name, Seattle. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 I’m not averse to Emeralds. Kraken would be fun, too. I like fun. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 As a Seattleite, I'm liking the 'Quatch and the Kraken to start. Amazons would be good for a women's team if Amazon were join the owner group. I wouldn't go with Seals (Oakland), Sea Lions, or Eagles (nothing that sounds seahawky). But the Thunderbirds is the WHL team and I'm happy to commandeer Cool Bird as the mascot/logo, plus they've already got the Seattle color scheme. Rainiers is the Tacoma AAA baseball team, so I'd avoid that one. Totems would be good -- but logos could get tricky. The orca has been taken by the Canucks as a thing, otherwise Whales or Orcas would be solid. The Grunge, the Plaids, the Hipsters, the Mist, the Drizzle. And I hope for Geoducks to make the public list, just because of the mascot possibilities. Another sleeper will be the winners of the 1917 Stanley Cup, the Metropolitans --- although they'd badly need updates to the jersey and colors. It'd be a nice 3rd jersey for the first couple seasons.

Not even the NHL is stupid enough to step into that morass. Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 21, 2018 Author Report Posted January 21, 2018 Hail Hydra Didn't even think of that :p Quote
DarthEbriate Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 Not even the NHL is stupid enough to step into that morass. That's why we could use the Seattle Geoducks. Team names and logos these days are kind of blase. Quote
Taro T Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 I like the alliteration for Seattle teams. Seahawks, Sonics, Sounders....Mariners(there's a reason they'll never win anything) Go with an S name, Seattle. Seattle S###heads. It meets your alliterative criterion. ;) Quote
