They are stupid. And this comes from a Buffalonian, who only thinks the name "Bills" is acceptable for a team name because he grew up with it. 1 Quote

Brawndo Posted July 23, 2020 Author Report Posted July 23, 2020 I’m probably way overthinking this, but The Canucks will be Seattle’s Natural Rival and their mascot is a Killer Whale. One of the food sources for Killer Whales is salmon, particularly in the Northwest. I would eliminate Sockeyes for this reason alone. 3 Quote

That Aud Smell Posted July 23, 2020 Report Posted July 23, 2020 I love that video they put together. Someone theorized in the comments to the post -- Sirens. That could work. 1 Quote

I expect that Seattle will immediately be good. And it looks like there's a difference between buying an existing franchise for $189M and paying a $650M expansion fee. Quote

I think siren arguably is suggestive of first responders. But I think that Sirens would be readily associated with the mythical creatures that haunt and imperil sailors. And that would make sense for Seattle, given how identified it is with the Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Yet on the other hand, I would imagine that #cancelculture would scuttle an invocation of the sirens, as they are undoubtedly viewed in that sector as a misogynistic portrayal of women as dangerous temptations.

Breakers would be fine. I feel like there's another pro team with that name somewhere? Waves would be wack. Quote
