Kraken off the table

Seattle Sounds

Looking forward to your team. whatever they do, just do not go with red and black. It’s over done. Something unique would be cool although I think similar to the Seahawks would be cool

Too close to Sounders

They should somehow get the rights to Thunderbirds

Seattle Thunderbirds just sounds sweet

Seals could be good too but man would the VAN and SJ PR teams have a field day with orcas and sharks eating seals lol

As an outsider, Thunderbirds is the only other name I like more than Kraken.

Thunderbirds should be the name in hindsight.

I'm on board for Rainiers if not Thunderbirds. Just wish they could pull it off, then give the Thunderbirds a new name.

< Insert Phil Mckracken joke here >

Thunderbirds wouldn't be too bad. Colors could be pine green with black, white and gold accents. Kind of like the old North Stars colors. Blue and green is too similar to the Canucks. Just my random thoughts. Good luck Seattle. P.S. please take Kyle Okposo. Thanks

If can't use and trademark the name Sockeyes.Why not trademark Sockeye.And call the the Seattle Sockeye.And if the name and logo are coming in March why is the web site in Salmon Colours.

 

[Neill99]

If they are having trademark issues if it's going to Sea lions or Kraken I don't trademarking it would be a problem I think they really want Sockeyes.

 

[Spikey]

When will they announce the name?

 

[Neill99]

When will they announce the name?

Mid-March or early April now there saying due to trademark issues.

Fitting name for the Walmart clearance rack.

Interesting, or maybe not, information.

At the 18 minute mark councilwoman Debora Juarez talks about mayor Durkan wanting the Kraken but that she's not going to get them.



BTW: Given that it's taking longer then expected I could see Sockeyes being the name.
In order to get everything right they would need to work around any potential legal issues with the novelist who wrote that Hockey Series about the fictional Seattle Sockeyes franchise.

May not necessary be the sockeyes. Could be purchasing thunderbirds brand and have to wait till after the WHL season is over for that to happen.

That would be extremely dumb to use the thunderbirds brand. not gonna happen

 

[Spacey]

"Metropolitans" is the best one i think

 

[Emerald Coast]

Any reason given?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

As a Silvertips fan, Thunderbirds would be a hard name to accept. I am still hoping its the Kraken though I would expect it to be more along the lines of Sockeye. Simply because Sockeye aligns better with Seattle.

 

[Quackenator]

They lose out on the "hot new thing" of selling merchandise if they go with the Thunderbirds. People are already familiar with that name and it just wouldnt be as cool as picking a new name in general for the area. I'm personally rooting for sockeyes and would love if they incorporated salmon coloring into the jerseys.

 

[NHLFanSince2020]

IMO Seattle Sockeye > Seattle Sockeyes

They're Sockeye Salmon, not Sockeyes Salmon.
