I like Kraken (but digging the Sockeye layout)...but if I had to choose an "other", it'd be the Admirals...even if there's an AHL team already as the Admirals.

Blue and green just have to be the main colors given the rest of the teams in the city, “Emerald City”, and because red and black are awful. Vancouver can get over it. I like the point about the Oilers versus Islanders. There won’t be a problem with Jersey recognition if it’s done right, and Vancouver is capable of changing every 15 or so years anyway.

1. Sockeye
2. Thunder, with Big Foot mascot.
3. Sea Lions
4. Steelheads

5. Thunderbirds (pls)

The only one that sounds good on play-by-play are “Sockeye” and “Thunder”. Using “Lions” as a nickname for “Sea Lions” doesn’t really work that well, either. It’s really a toss-up for me and I’m not convinced any of these will truly be the final name.

Hope it’s green and blue

winter sports gold green vs summers sports green blue?

I’m not sure I follow your point. I don’t see what teams from Minnesota and Oakland have to do with Seattle

Apparently the speculation that the colours will be red and black aren't just from that jersey up on the stage. Any of their marketing material so far has used a red-black colour scheme. Take a look at their website for example:

NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE APPROVES EXPANSION

Antifa colors

I added a poll. Let me know if there’s a specific colour scheme you want added

Hopefully it’s just because red and black is a nice colour scheme for marketing, without having to give away exactly what your team colours are. That would be a big mistake if they don’t use green

I dunno. I know blue and green are very typical Pacific NW colours, but an awful lot of teams in that region already use some version of those colours, including the Seahawks, Sounders, Mariners and the Thunderbirds. Plus the nearby Canucks use those colours.

Now that being said however, I don't know how red and black means establishing your own identity, when Calgary, Chicago, Ottawa, Carolina, Arizona and New Jersey already use those colours...

Lots of different shades of gray. Because, hey, it's Seattle in winter.

Funny enough, there isn't a cloud in the sky today. It's very blue.

Yup...lol

Sockeyes... lmfao wtf. This is an nhl team not a beer league team

Kraken devours all.

 

[Boxer Courage]

I think pure perfection would be the Seattle Thunderbirds branding but change the name to Totems. Close second is that Sockeye template posted in this thread, thats gorgeous.

Ya it doesn’t sound right to me either

 

[PM]

Sockeyes sounds like a good name for an ECHL team that could have been the regional rival of the now long gone Victoria Salmon Kings. I do like the sock puppet logo with eyes though.

 

[BattleBorn]

Every name sounds silly until it's been around for a while.

If there was a world in which the New York Rangers didn't exist and ol' Tex established a team in New York called the Rangers, it would likely get smashed.
Washington Capitals? Like, plural of the seat of government?
Tampa Bay Rays? What?

Everything takes time.

 

[Richard Gibson]

won't be Kraken

 

[Jee]

Kraken or fold the franchise already
