tigerslionspistonshabs Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The 'final cut' of 5 is just an assumption from what I can tell, right? Still though, I'm good with either Sockeyes or Sea Lions. Evergreens has really grown on me as well in the past year or so. Emeralds sounds good, but I get a real WNBA vibe from it. Rainiers just doesn't roll off the tongue well enough to be a team name, IMO. Cougars is literally one of the most generic names in sports, along with Wildcats, Tigers and Bulldogs. Bad choice.

I'd call it more of an "educated guess," but a guess all the same.

The name would be a to say, feels like it doesn't make sense, and I just can't think of any creative logos coming out of it. The original Seattle Rainiers' (and current Tacoma Rainiers') logo is the Rainier beer logo. Of course, Mount Rainier also makes a great logo IMO.

king_mahalo Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm not the biggest fan of the name "Seattle Rainiers" or taking the logo of the beer company as Tacoma's AAA team did, but I could REALLY get behind this uniform design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Pretty much anything but Cougars really. Don't need another Puma Concolor in the NHL. I can't see them allowing two anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know San Francisco is well-known for its abundance of seals but wasn't aware of sea lion ties to Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the name was a play on the weather of Seattle (being rainy/stormy), thus me thinking the word was clumsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival79 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 While I was really hoping for Seattle Cranes, Seattle Rainiers will do.

Wings Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 With the Tacoma Rainiers & Eugene Emeralds being in the Pacific Northwest footprint you can forget those two names and probably Cougars too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Still keeping hope alive for the 'Greens but it does feel like they're really gonna roll with Sockeyes and go out there being a food fish. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I expect them to put an emphasis on the historical aspect when it comes to the designs over trying to be exceptionally "unique-looking"; they've really been pushing the history of hockey in the city in marketing since getting a franchise, so any jersey design they'll go for would likely not be too wild. I would not at all be shocked if, for instance, they took on a variant of the Metropolitans' colors (perhaps something like what the website currently uses) and had a similar logo to those old Cup-winning Mets somewhere in their set.

Oso Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If that is indeed the final five, you can take to the bank the name is going to be either Sockeyes or Sea Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly didnt care for Evergreens at first, but seeing some of the concepts and stuff on the boards, there's serious potential there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The Evergreens would be pretty cool. I really like that concept. Sockeyes I feel like is the most unique of the ideas, but I get why people wouldn't be excited about it. This Sea Lions concept really caught my eye.

lilgump Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I was really hoping to hear the name at the All Star Break but it doesn't seem like that will happen now. I'm not in love with anything at this point, I guess I'm just hoping the logo/uniforms look great and then the team name will feel right. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.
