The Seattle Poseidons
Triton is one of the options for the team name.
Shameless plug btw:
Seattle Hockey Name Tournament: Region Two
The Seattle Poseidons
Tawnos, not only did I take the time to explain the origins of the Flames moniker as you were confused & you didnt even bother to "like" it much less respond... your now getting up my other nostril in claiming you know the history of the Metropolitan's name and understand why fans in Seattle might want to tag an NHL franchise with that moniker however..... I have my doubts that you do in fact understand its full significance (beyond the Stanley Cup, PCHA years) and why the club was called the Metropolitan's in the first place.... amIright?. Ha?...
And yes, it is decidedly an early 20th Century term, speaks to the age of American Art Deco... and that in itself a highly marketable commodity in terms of design execution, from colorization to logo design & so on & so forth. Could do a real bang-up job of it with that handle; Seattle Metropolitan's. Speakeasy's, Bootleggers, Rumrunners, early flight with a nod to Boeing etc... I like it.... they were called that after a company called the Metropolitan Building Company which built much of the city as its known today during this period, very important player historically beyond hockey, friends & business associates of the Lumber Baron Patrick family of BC who founded the PCHA, the Patricks of course one of the Royal Families of the Game & the NHL.
Perfect? It sounds stupid, imo.Too bad they couldn't get their crap together in the mid 70s. The Seattle Totems had the best uniforms in the WHL and a perfect sounding name.
You in the area Killion?
Yeah....just rename a division to appease an expansion franchise.
While we're at it....the Seattle Metros demand PUCK be replaced with BUCK, as it will align with Starbucks endorsements.
No big deal....just call the puck a buck from now on. Right?
Changing stuff every other year to appease people isn't cool.
This is so much better then the golden knights...Posting this only because I caught a little flack for suggesting Las Vegas Thunderbirds a few years ago.
The seattle team should be the Thunderbirds.

I've felt this way for years now; just rename the WHL team for the greater good. But I follow Portland's WHL team, so ofc I would say that.
This is the name I support most strongly - not only is it the name that most identifies with Seattle's storied hockey history, it's a great tribute to our native American heritage in the Northwest.
If the guy above who thinks that it "sounds stupid" would care to do a little research, he might reach the same conclusion.
By the way, everything "sounds stupid" when you first hear it.
names are not stupid, it's the color schematics which don't work.....Seriously, how many people thought it was a horrible idea to name the Pittsburgh team..the Penguins.

I've said it a few times around a few different things, but I think the internet and Google have ended the period where pro teams will share names with pro teams from another league. I'm guessing the Jets are the last time we'll see that happen by choice, and there's an obvious history behind that decision. There was apparently some marketing guys in Winnipeg that didn't like the decision to return to Jets when it was made, as well.I like the Seattle Warriors, myself.
They will have to pay me my royalty for the logo...
.... you behind that new program at various US College & University campuses... "LLama Therapy"?.... new program.... apparently the creatures have a "soothing effect" on people... like "pet therapy" for the stressed out. Undergrads overwhelmed by the pressures of academics or whatever can go hangout with the Llama... meditate.... Seriously, what happens when they hit the real world & get jobs?. Llama Zones on the rooftops of office towers? In parks?.... Pretty laid back animals so not sure naming what is supposed to be a high energy high performance team after them a real good idea.
It still sounds stupid.This is the name I support most strongly - not only is it the name that most identifies with Seattle's storied hockey history, it's a great tribute to our native American heritage in the Northwest.
