Utah Hoodoos.

 
Unique and regional, could lend itself to some interesting colors and branding. 
haven't seen anyone suggest it. Am I crazy? 
 

only downside is some immature people would call them Doodoos? But that was a drawback to Kraken (Krak-heads) and that turned out to be a non issue.

Ah, yep, found it on an eBay listing; it's a vintage New Era cap. The jacket is proving much more elusive, but presumably it could also be New Era.

The jacket was made by a company called Mirage

Met an old man in my neighborhood earlier today and he was wearing a Seahawks jacket. It must have been 40 years old. 
 

anyone ever seen this Seahawks logo before? I’ve lived in the PNW my whole life and never seen it.

Yeah, this feels like it’s in the same class as the patch the Jazz wear for cancer research - deliberately using ad space for a good cause. I’m generally opposed to ad space on (non-soccer) uniforms on purely aesthetic grounds, but this is of course a very welcome exception. If ad patches HAVE to be a thing, then I’d love to see more teams in the NHL, NBA, and other ad-wearing leagues take this kind of “do good” initiative with the ad space they have.

what exactly is the good cause? 

the team already supports the tribe in various ways. Even if 100% of the profits from the ad patch went back to the tribe…why not just conduct your business and give back to the tribe without the patch? 
 

it’s not generating income for the tribe if Muckleshoot is paying for the patch. 
 

At least with the Jazz cancer research ad, it *might* promote others to donate. Do people donate to a tribe?
 

Around here if you ask most people, Muckleshoot is a casino. the poster above me called it, it’s a thinly veiled ad for the casino. 

don’t get me wrong I’ll take this over a Starbucks ad on the jerseys any day, and as far as ads go it’s not bad looking , but it’s still completely unnecessary and a blemish on an otherwise beautiful jersey.

Man, that ad patch is almost as brutal as the score.

Wait was this jersey ever actually released? 
 

how did it go from Facebook marketplace leak to worn on the ice in less than 12 hours??

"The striping up top is inspired by Seattle's hockey history and sets the course for new adventures that lie ahead ­- plus a sneak peek at future jersey releases."

Based on the article, it looks like these STH beanies are hinting at the striping pattern for the Kraken reverse retro jersey. The anchor might be a clue as well, but that isn't as obvious. 

The Kitsap BlueJackets (based in Bremerton, WA) of the West Coast League (collegiate summer wood bat league) will soon unveil a new logo.

Old:

A draft of the new logo is on their Facebook page. I've been told it's not quite the finished project.

"BlueJackets" has a double meaning: a take on the insect (yellowjackets) and Bluejacket referring to someone who is in the Navy. Bremerton is the home of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, hence the anchors and sailor cap on the "newer" logo.

Sorry to bring back a dead topic, but I did what you could call an "internship" with the Kitsap Bluejackets over one summer while in college. In the process, i found out some interesting stuff about the logo.

The team's owner told me that when he adopted the team, he borrowed the 'Bluejackets' name from the minor league team that resided in Bremerton in the early 1900's. However, what he overlooked is that the Bluejacket is not some type of bee, but actually slang for someone in the navy. Bremerton is a navy town, hit it's boom during WWII, and is home to two naval bases. He was not aware of the naval reference until well after this logo had been designed, and the design for the mascot had been submitted. While I was working with the owner, I suggested that he update the brand and even threw a few design concepts his way, and he was not at all interested. Fast forward a few years, and it looks like he is still content to use the bee.The new design is better, but still the worst logo in their league.
