Dan O'Mac 492 Posted December 6, 2018 Now I want a logo survivor board. All the primary logos on a sheet, and the designs ruled out by NHL Seattle crossed off. Since they've stated the Kraken are out. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks T...could be Totems...(although it's not a "water-based" concept)...however they have reached out to a local indigenous artist.

So, I'm putting all names back in the race... However...Kraken (my favourite), Totems, and the two Fish names are all very polarizing names, aren't they?! It seems that people either love'em or hate'em. So I'm wondering if a less contentious name might be a dark horse in all this... Seattle Evergreens I'm gonna throw some support over to the "Evergreens" as a "sleeper choice"... a "gentler" concept that won't be as polarizing. It could work pretty well...a crisp, clean, simple logo...You could "spruce-up" (see what I did there?) the concept by bringing in the plaid element and then have some fun with it... (yes...that's Dave Tippett) 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerslionspistonshabs 1,640 Posted December 15, 2018 I could get behind Evergreens. There's sooooo many good options. Hopefully they hit a home run with the branding. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they hit a home run with the branding. Yeah tlph..."Evergreens" could be the sleeper... The old Whalers' uniforms looked GREAT down in Carolina... So, take a similar look, but replace the blue with a darker green... Put on some crisp white Seattle logos (w/a touch of silver). The striping matches the horizontal lines of the "E"... For fun, create a Seattle-Plaid-cut uniform for an alt... 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-mer 981 Posted December 27, 2018 while it looks great, I just can’t picture a team being called Emeralds or Evergreens. It’s not a common pro team name, even along the lines of Canadiens, Nordiques. It just doesn’t sound right when I imagine an NHL highlight package and the guy saying “Emeralds/Panthers, first period action...” 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, finally got around to wrapping this thing up. I summarized all 12 concepts in a book over at issue... You can see the whole book here...https://issuu.com/sparkychewbarky/docs/the_battle_of_seattle I'll post the pages up here a few at a time... 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerslionspistonshabs 1,640 Posted January 16, 2019 I wasn't a fan of Evergreens at first either, but 'Greens would be cool. I mean we've got the Reds, Blues and Browns. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-mer 981 Posted January 18, 2019 Wow. I think the Sealions inaugural patch would be fantastic as the primary logo, looks so much more aggressive and like a real logo I can easily see happening. Im picturing it similar in shape to the Red Wings logo, or to the 90s capitals eagle with more curves. Even without the trident and small adjustments to flippers. That’d be awesome 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-mer 981 Posted January 18, 2019 Im excited to see if you do something with that Sealion logo. But, that Steelheads set is maybe my favorite. I do really like the dark aqua and gold combos you have for the Sealions and Kraken, but something about the Steelheads is really classy and fits so well. If I was in a position to choose between them I don't know what i'd do. So many solid options. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
