FiddySicks Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 There are five Sockeye on the ice at the same time, therefore they're countable and can be referred to as the Sockeyes. Simple!

_DietDrPepper_ Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I’m disappointed in the colors, would’ve preferred a color besides red to be the primary. I know Sockeyes are red, but please emphasize the sea foam. Red is so overused Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorMade Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Curious as to why everyone is jumping on Sockeyes but no one is even mentioning Steelheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I can definitely see the team going with a bright pinkish-red. Adidas hockey is big on the bright reds and oranges. I'm here for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for anyone else, but when I hear Steelheads, I think minor league: AHL, WHL, etc. Can't say why, but that's the impression it gives me.

They think Sockeye sounds like "sock 'em in the eye", which is very forced and cringeworthy. Other than that, it's just another species of salmon you find at the grocery store. Nothing great about that name at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 5 hours ago, gosioux76 said: I can't seem to find any solid answers on whether the word "sockeye" is both plural and singular, like deer. If it is, would the team just be "Seattle Sockeye"? If so, it's an inelegant name for the awkwardness. If the plural form is "sockeye", then that should be the name of the team. (And this would avoid the inevitable act on the part of rival fans of transforming "Sockeyes" into "Suckass".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only speak for myself having lived in Seattle for 30 years, but there does seem to be a pride around the salmon here. Not just another fish.

I mean, there IS an ECHL team in Boise called that. So I understand. Personally, I prefer it to Sockeyes, though. 4 hours ago, daveindc said: They think Sockeye sounds like "sock 'em in the eye", which is very forced and cringeworthy.

Being super tough because they have a steel head. It's also WA's state fish and isn't copyrighted by a romance novelist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just another fish. If they go with a native salmon species, Seattle King Salmon has a nice ring it. King Salmon (Chinook) is the largest of the salmon species, and it's also a cool tie in with King County. It turns red during spawning like the Sockeye, for those who want to include red in the color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There use to be a ECHL team in Victoria that went by that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple! I know that the league received a lot of blowback over the generous expansion draft terms that were extended to the Vegas Golden Knights, but making NHL Seattle play shorthanded every shift seems like an overreaction.
