Brian in Boston Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 David Bonderman and Jerry Bruckheimer dig a bit deeper into their horde of cash and pay the Kent, Washington-based major junior Seattle Thunderbirds to part with the name. Frankly, the WHL T-Birds may not be long for the world after a Seattle NHL franchise sets-up shop, anyway. If not the Seattle Thunderbirds, then go with the Seattle Steelheads or Seattle Cutthroats.

In which case Bonderman and Bruckheimer would have to buy the rights from the ECHL Idaho Steelheads, which is probably more expensive than buying the rights from an economically-threatened WHL team. Think the NHL would allow the Seattle Sockeyes? Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hopefully a Seattle team won't do what Foley did and name his team after an inferior of his closest rival. So, maybe not name a team after a fish when the mascot of the team across the border is a carnivorous orca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Lions would have been great for San Jose's team, if they were looking on keeping the spirit of the Seals alive. For Seattle though? Eh...too many jokes given how close the Canucks would be. @LMU's right to point out that Foley was dumb to name his team "Knights" when the Kings are within driving distance. Maybe not the best example to take ques from though.

bowld Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Wonder what color scheme the upcoming expansion team will go with. Blue and green (seahawks colors) are already used by Vancouver so thats out. Do they go Green/Yellow a la Sonics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look at the 3 major league teams there as well as the Thunderbirds all use a dark/ navy blue as well as green (although Mariners is more a teal colour). Even their new rugby team, Seattle Seawolves (with an orca logo) uses blue and green. I wouldn't be surprised if the potential NHL team goes the same route.

I'm envisioning one of two scenarios vis-a-vis color choice: Seattle follows the Pittsburgh route and has all its pro teams share the same color scheme with some variant of blue and green. It's easy to do this without confusing the color scheme with the Canucks. The easiest route is to follow the Seahawks color scheme of Navy and Rave Green. This becomes more complicated, though, should Seattle ever land another NBA team. Which leads me to the next possibility ... The club goes the green-and-yellow route, speculating that it will one day share a building with the Sonics, creating chromatic solidarity with a future co-tenant.

My personal preference would be for them to go with the name Metropolitans/Metros, due to the history associated with the name (the original Metros were the first American-based team to win the Stanley Cup). That being said? I wouldn't replicate the old team's red, green, and white colour scheme. I'd go forest green and gold. Sort of a pre-BFBS North Stars look. With Dallas having switched gold out for silver? The colour scheme's Seattle's for the taking. Also, who are we kidding? The NHL in Seattle would just be the warmup act for the Sonics' return. So might as well share the colours so they can coordinate the arena's colour layout with as little fuss as possible.

M4One Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Whatever their name is, I say go with different colours that will stand out from everyone else. I think it's fine if they go with similar colours, but having their own allows them to own the colour in the city, instead of sharing them with other teams.

Red Wolf Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I think sticking with a green and blue scheme of some sort would be great. Maybe a dark green with light blue like Tulane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
