Ideal Seattle name and theme

[HockeyMomx2]

I guess I'm one of the few that likes the Evergreens.

This PNW fan is also on board with that one.

I think you missed the memo that Boeing moved out of Seattle

HQ yes, there is still manufacturing/engineering in Seattle and Portland. 72,000 some odd employees in WA alone.

There are four kinds of coffee, black, with milk, with sugar, with both. The rest is disgusting and unnecessary hedonism.

Wrong.

There is one type of coffee.
Black like my heart, and bitter like my life.

Everything else is a dessert topping.

Cities are a construct of society and no collection of people should be obligated to self-identify as representing a city nor be subject to association with a mascot. The good people that brought CHOP to the world deserve better. The team should be called Zone of Existence They.

I was really liking this thread a lot.

Turns out you already 'won' this thread on page 1.

Can't name the team Kraken either.

Krakens are from Scandinavian mythology. It's non-inclusive for people of non-scandinavian descent.

Also it's a sea-creature, and the vegans will complain about profiting off of anything that lives in the ocean.


Most residents of Seattle would find this name to be intolerably offensive.

I agree with that, but I was feeling mellow when I typed it.

Orcas. orcas. orcas!

I'd be pretty interested in a logo war with the Canucks.

I suspect Canucks are going to shut down on that idea from the get go.

Did Ron Swanson say this originally?

I don't know. I say that all the time. I thought I made it up.

Seattle Spider-Slayers

 

[al secord]

The Seattle Don's. Or the Seattle Lemon's.

...are you Ron Swanson?

This would be one way to bring the SuperSonics back

Most people dumping on the name do so by bringing up certain criteria by which other names fail more spectacularly, or else simply make vague statements that the name is objectively poor without identifying why. The Kraken is a perfectly cromulent name, as are many other candidates, by the standards set by NHL team names and sports team names in general. What the body of sports team names show is that there is not just one way to name a team. Not all organizations used the same checklist when selecting a name (clearly).

I liked this, but only because you said cromulent.

 

[BelovedIsles]

SuperSonics

 

[shelbysdad]

Seattle Sasquatch

This got brought up on a thing was watching about the renaming of the Redskins football team. Is they could do what a OT of soccer/football teams do and they are the location and FC. And it got me thinking. What if Seattle just dropped the whole gimmick naming and made themselves Seattle HC. It could be clean and neat and without gimmicks. Could be super classy.

 

[HabbyGuy]

The Seattle Oz

(Being the emerald city and all)

 

[Spikey]

Seattle Space Monkeys.

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

If it’s not Sockeyes, it’s gotta be the Seattle Simps.

Doesn't seem like it would lend itself particularly well to merchandise sales, and like it or not, that's going to be a big factor in the decision.

Yes, take the Orca. Imagine if the Canucks gave it to Seattle. It would be such a nice gesture to a future rival.

 

[Eisen]

...are you Ron Swanson?

When it comes to chairs, I am. And coffee as well, apparently.

Seattle Swans !
