Teams with a legacy with native imagery are under constant pressure/attack to change. TOTEMS will never happen, not even a slight consideration!!! Totems is as offensive as Thunderbirds, so not at all. The issue the Native population has with teams such as the Redskins & Indians is because they portray stereotypical and arguably racist views of the people. Totems does not do that. (Can I just say I think it was dumb to have NoDak change their nickname while Fighting Irish is still acceptable). 31 minutes ago, Ice_Cap said: Baseball has a team named the "Nationals" despite having a "National League." Then again, most people call the league the NL instead of National League so it somewhat blurs the lines. However, the Metro Division is only called such. I personally don't have an issue with it. 24 minutes ago, M4One said: Still, why name the new professional team after the old junior team? Because it's one hell of a name. However, I don't think they should go with Thunderbirds either because then they'd have 2 pro sports teams named after Native-inspired birds.

How is the name Totems disrespectful in the slightest. me personally, the name Totems is a nice name (and shows the local area history). a Totem Pole is a real work of art: so long and thanks for all the fish.

Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa all have junior teams, so I wouldn't completely rule it out that the T-Birds would stick around. Yes, Calgary and Edmonton are owned by the Flames and Oilers, but Vancouver and Ottawa aren't. Still, why name the new professional team after the old junior team? They don't, however, have NBA teams. Seattle undoubtedly would.

If Seattle'd been awarded an expansion team in, say 1995, they may have given legitimate consideration to using the grunge theme. Would have been about as timeless as Raptors. Honestly, Baristas would not be the worst name in the league (OK, that's a tough feet with "Wild" being around). It's kinda cheesy, but I like your color idea.

ScubaSteve Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I don't agree with the idea that all of Seattle's teams should follow the same Navy blue and green color schemes. The Sonics had a great color scheme and if they ever do return I would want them to go back to that. Also, the Mariners should ideally be blue and yellow (my personal opinion). So really that would just make it the Seahawks and Sounders with similar colors, but they also share a stadium so it kind of makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have what looks like a backwards "D", a dot, and then a frontwards "D." The little notch in the backwards "D" makes it look like a G. It did not hit me right away, but once it did...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I always thought Seattle Sea Lions would be cool. There was a badass sparky chewbarky concept kicking around a while back. Sockeye could work as well. As would Pilots. I think the Thunderbirds would stick around. They've got enough of a following to co-exist with an NHL team (similar to the Chicago Wolves) and especially since they play in the burbs. Unfortunately though, because it's an incredible identity.

WideRight Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I am going to throw "Seattle Sasquatch" into the ring. Not a big fan of Totems or Thunderbirds despite the history of them. The S with "Seattle" written in it may be nostalgic but it is a horrible logo (ie. if it were created now, with no history to it, it would be laughed right off this entire website.) Not all "classics" are good designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
