Sockeyes just feels silly for an NHL team, we have one team with salmon theme in Finnish 2-tier league and there it feels like it fits in, but the NHL is the best league in the world with the strongest clubs, and their themes reflect that.
You have stuff like Bear, Eagle, Shark, different big cats, Devil, Knight, Hurricane, Avalanche etc. no matter what the theme is based on, it tends to feel strong in their own way.
But sockeye? It’s a freaking fish. Heck, even the Penguins and Ducks eat fish lol.
Idk if this sounds weird but i do think it just feels weak and that makes it feel silly.
Ducks and Penguins are easy to make look tough, give them hands to hold a stick with and add some cool features. But how does a salmon work ? Standing salmon as a mascot sounds ridiculous and goofy.
Name rolls off the tongue nicely but realistically?... ehh, there has to be something more powerful out there or something thats not a living creature.
