heavybass 544 Posted June 25 Also..... Bezos just bought the stadium rights and is going to be calling it the Climate Pledge Arena. THE CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA. People are going to be calling it the CP Arena and the CP is the worst for acroymns. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heavybass 544 Posted June 25 So they won't be called Kraken now... considering Kraken wouldn't be saving the climate. It's either Emeralds or Thunderbirds. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heavybass 544 Posted June 25 Yeah AA would of been a better name.... but then you got to have to earn them VIRTUE points from the 3% that don't give a toss about sports. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heavybass 544 Posted June 25 Sorry for double posting but at the potential Thunderbirds name of NHL Seattle.... let's look at the current Thunderbirds. That would be a good logo to start with. EDIT: We can see this possibly returning. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still don't think that the NHL team is interested in taking an identity that a WHL team has built up for 35 years. There's been nothing to suggest that Thunderbirds has been an option that has been pursued by the ownership. As long as it's not Kraken. That just screams Brandiose minor league baseball team to me. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spartacat_12 988 Posted June 25 Hopefully they're tipping off the colour scheme with all the two-toned green visuals. Amazon's colours are black & gold, and The Climate Pledge uses blue & green, so there wouldn't be any other reason for the arena to use those colours. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 8,706 Posted June 25 Might this center ice graphic be a clue to the team colors? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridleylash 2,841 Posted June 25 It's possible, but it's still just concept imagery. It doesn't look like any of the players on the ice are wearing green uniforms, though. Seems it's red vs black there, so I dunno if the green and black is necessarily going to be the final color scheme. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 8,706 Posted June 25 Seems like if they're releasing images of the arena it'd also be a good time to unveil the name. I think our attention spans can can accept new things now. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlayGloria 74 Posted June 25 This Seattle expansion seems so forced. I don't like anything about it TBH. Vegas just did it so perfectly. I don't get that vibe from this expansion... Idk it could just be me, but i am a massive NHL fan and this just isn't moving the needle for me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
