The name isn't going to be revealed at the all star week but some time after it.

With your talent level and quality of products I'm surprised they aren't hiring you for the job. Everything you do is well thought out and top notch.

Apparently...only 24 more sleeps 'til the name's revealed (at the All-Star game? Jan. 25th)
What d'ya think?...Nautical? Indigenous? Rustic?(maybe w/some plaid) Other?...

Not sure. That's been that way since the very start but they've also been handing out items with black and red since they were announced as well. So who knows. lol

This was way back when they showed Key Arena. Kinda doubting they've been set on using red before anything has really happened but who knows. I hope not.

I hope they go with the ‘Emeralds’

Super classy, Seattle is the Emerald city, green is a sparsely used colour in the NHL.

Kraken seems too cartoony for my liking.

Going to play in a outdoor hockey tournament this weekend in Winthrop, WA. NHL Seattle will be there with a team and hosting an event on Friday night. Hoping this will be a kick off party for name/color/etc,

Romance novel author trademarks Seattle Sockeyes hockey name

FWIW, author Jami Davenport has been writing a hockey romance series (since 2014) around a fictional NHL team, the Seattle Sockeyes. She has trademarked the name (along with her other Seattle sports franchises she writes romances around, football Steelheads and baseball Skookums).

She only did that to protect her novels. I doubt there will be any problems if Seattle wants to use the name and Seattle organization would be perfectly fine with her the name in her novels.

If you read the article, she actually does sell merchandise. But indicated she'd have no issues if the NHL wanted to name a team the Sockeyes.

FYI, They gave out a bunch of NHL Seattle touques (red or black). Also was noted "why give out stuff that will soon be obsolete when name/colors come online"

\/\/ Red/black as in the colors they've distributed everything else to date

I woudn't really put into that idea that colors will be red or black involved it really depends on what name they'll go with. Colors has to fit the name and logo.

From a business POV the Seattle franchise would want to purchase the trademark from her to ensure that there would be no issues moving forward. Doubt they want to have to change the name in the future if there is ever a disagreement over something.

If they have not bought it out by now I doubt the name will be sockeyes.

John Hoven, who covers mostly the Kings and has broken quite a few things lately, is saying it's looking more like Kraken is actually being a thing.

Full disclosure, I write articles for his site, so I have my biases, but he does have sources.
