Totems and Metros were next. http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25440967/uni-watch-delivers-winning-entries-seattle-nhl-design-contest I can even see them using a unique shade like the previous Seahawks set: Some might bring up the Canucks, but that logo has an orca in it. An orca is part of the dolphin family, and not an actual whale. They're not even comparable: Seattle could really take advantage of this, imo, and come up with a great uniform and logo.

I wouldn't necessarily use the name Greys or go with those designs, but they just made me think of the name Whales when I saw them posted in that Uni Watch article.

I can't imagine it will stand. I don’t think they are going to be red. But, something that always annoys me: Half of WSU alumni are from western Washington. It drives me crazy when people imply Seattle is singularly devoted to UW. There’s also Seattle U which is literally black and red.

Pretty sure there's a 0.00000000001% an NHL team in Seattle will be called the Cougars. Comparing Seattle to Pullman is a stretch. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing Seattle to Pullman is a stretch. One of the proposed names is Cougars, and they've led with red and black. I'm just going by the info they've presented. Obviously it's all conjecture, but it can be really easy. Seattle has a pretty solid blue/green/teal/navy aesthetic among its pro sports teams. Gold too if the Sonics ever return. Let's just go with those. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I was set on a green base but after reading the write up on Icethetics and his feelings, red/black/turquoise to go with the native theme makes a lot of sense. Picture something like the Kelowna Rockets. I think a darker red with that would be good and help them stand out from the rest of the division, especially Vancouver.

DTConcepts Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Seattle's gotta do something unique, that can differentiate them from the green/white/blue Canucks from just a bit north.

M4One Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Seems like Bettman is against the team being named Metropolitans since they already have a division with that same name. Good. It's a terrible name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Everything you need to know about Seattle's new NHL team Quote Seattle's COO, Victor de Bonis, told the ESPN On Ice podcast this week, "It's like anything. If you put the time in, and you think through it properly, you listen to the fans of what they feel is important to them with their team, and you line those things up and do the right amount of work, you'll pick the right name. And it might not feel like the right name when it comes out, but as it evolves, and over time, and when the puck drops that first game ... we've failed if you're not excited about the entire situation with that team." Well, that's encouraging. We are wolves • Under the moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Minnesota Wild fans are still waiting for that evolution for the team name to make sense. And, my two cents ... give me the Seattle Sockeyes. It works and sounds very hockey-ish.

CS85 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Seattle Sockeyes? I mean I get it, it's a regional fish, but that brand feels minor league.
