[Jeti]

It needs to be Sockeyes. It’s the only proposed name I’ve ever seen for this team that wasn’t terrible.

Not being terrible is not a requirement for a new team name. See "Golden Knights".

[Pilky01]

Canucks need to switch back to black/orange/yellow so that the Seattle team can take blue and green.

Also almost all of these names suck. Emeralds and Totems are the only half decent ones; and theyre definitely not doing Totems.

 

[Bonzo111]

• Reign
• Sound
• Sonics
• Admirals
• Sequoia's
• Storm

 

[Bonzo111]

Also like the Silver. Cool silver colored uni's and such. Talk to me goose

 

[Slyfox]

There is rumors that it's already decided, red and black.

Seattle Redblacks

 

[Jets]

Seattle SuperSonics

 

[ItchyScratchy77]

Seattle Lumberjacks.

 

[McFlash97]

Seattle Reign

Seattle Metro


nothing else really pops


Reign could be a play on words, like Rain(Seattle is rainy) or Reign supreme

 

[patnyrnyg]

Seahawks and Mariners are perfect names for Seattle teams. Would like to see them go with something with a Marine/Ocean theme.

 

[CapSpace]

Seattle ManBearPigs. Do it.

 

[patnyrnyg]

Not being terrible is not a requirement for a new team name. See "Golden Knights".

Hate when teams have unnecessary adjectives in the name. Should have just gone with "Knights".

 

[McGarnagle]

The Seattle Undertakers

 

[The Podium]

Seattle Redblacks

Redblacks are literally the worst name in all of sports.

 

[mattcookefan]

Sockeyes sounds like a great name for an ECHL or CHL team. Doesn't sound like a NHL team name at all. Outside of the Totems all these names sound terrible. As to the whole PC nonsense around using the Totems, it's less offensive than the Blackhawks whose logo is an actual human face and much less offensive than many team names in the MLB and NFL. Totems don't refer to an actual human or group of humans like all the offensive Native American team names do. Totems are an object, and if the team is smart they could do it tastefully and respectfully while paying homage to a classic team from the area and the history of the area itself.

With all that said. I expect something stupid and ridiculous like the Silver Kraken or some other nonsense.

Hmm silver krakens. I like it!

 

[zar]

Seattle Dragons.

Dragons are a spirit and a totem symbol. Could capitalize on the marketing in China. Dragons are a feared creature. Could have a great mascot.

Logo could be an S-shaped mean faced fire breathing dragon with ‘EATTLE’ hidden in the body. Primary colour red or green... red would more fearsome and cooler... or, green to symbolize the Emerald City.

Calls Seattle Sockeyes terrible.

Proceeds to list terrible alternatives

 

[Commander Clueless]

Seattle Sloops, definitely.

 

[Dr Black]

I didn't do this art but it looks pretty cool. Seattle Lumberjacks.

That is a GREAT color scheme!!! The logo is not bad either.

 

[HisIceness]

Seattle sea bears

So instead of scoring more goals than the Sea Bears, the opposition will skate anti sea bear circles in the ice and that will defeat the Sea Bears.

Brilliant

 

[SladeWilson23]

Does anybody know how the kraken thing came about? How did that one poster decide that kraken would be a good name? Better question is, how did the Seattle owners know about the kraken thing?

 

[Dr Black]

I like this concept.

Clashing secondary and tertiary colors similar to Colorado. That is a horrible color scheme!

But the logo is OK I guess.

 

[ML19]

Seattle Golden Knights
