Well, we live in downtown Seattle and it's been fairly well-established here.

Ridleylash Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Blue and green was also the most popular vote on the fan site, IIRC. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they keep the red they currently have in the palate, as well, to keep them from looking too close to Vancouver.

That certainly would be a twist seeing as literally everything the franchise has shown us so far has been in red and black.

BroncoBuff Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Gosh, I am really sorry. What, does your family own the color red or something? I don't understand the hostility ... But despite my living here, I see now that I was wrong. Hanson was the first owner of Seattle hockey, he's the guy who fought for a new arena next to Safeco Field and CenturyLink Stadium - he announced blue and green years ago. I knew the Hollywood guy Jerry Bruckheimer was in, but only just learned Hanson is out completely. How 'bout I smooth things over with this (truly hilarious) Samantha Bee segment about how Hanson got his ass kicked trying to build that arena: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Heidt Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I am pleasantly surprised that there have been a lack of leaks confirming what name and colours are for sure. Team officials are keeping their mouths shut. My understanding is that it is pretty much picked out but the pandemic has delayed releasing this. https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-seattle-expansion-nickname-update/c-316515462 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakfu Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I like the idea of green/yellow/red, red to match metros tradition and 90s Sonics and so eventual future Sonics dont have to use it. Interesting look that was wrong for the Sonics but can be right for the Sockeyes or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 female, 3 male Seattle city council voted along gender lines to NIX a new arena, and male sports fans bombarded the women with crude (but literally lol) tweets ... seriously, they're funny.

I don't understand the hostility ... Two reasons: 1) The boards are entering the second renaissance of trolling. 2) We’re hopefully preventing people six pages from now saying things like “didn’t we hear conclusively that they’re blue and green a few pages back?” I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

monkeypower Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Clearly a lot of those Seattle concepts have a lot of effort and time put into them and they are probably in the top percentile of concepts on the boards in terms of presentation, but I find there are a lot of unnecessary/superfluous details that really drag down the overall concepts and don't think would translate well off a digital medium. But enough about that. I really hope Seattle is going forward with the black/salmon/seafoam green (or whatever they are calling those two colours) that are on the website. I think it's a really great colour scheme and I'll just post this Kelowna throwback picture for the umpteenth time on the boards because I like the colour scheme that much. Kelowna's teal and red are darker than than the colours on Seattle's website, but it still gets the point across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sec19Row53 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Haven't seen it mentioned yet, so I'll throw this out: Just cuz the website is salmon and black now doesn't mean it can't be changed at the flick of a switch (aka bait and switch). It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they could. However, when was the last time a team actually pulled a bait and switch like that? We love to throw out the "What if they're messing with us?!?!" on here, but I can't actually remember a time a team was actually messing with us. I don't count the Rams GM wearing a blue and red hat, that was an extremely obvious troll attempt, and nobody should've been fooled.

Ridleylash Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 It makes virtually no sense in this day and age to very consistently associate a color scheme with you (salmon and teal) and then pull a massive bait-and-switch into something completely opposite to what you've been using the entire time. If salmon and teal are this consistent in their branding, those likely are two of the colors in the Seattle team's color palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
