I wondered what is the update on Seattle expansion in NHL??? Thanks JM, and I wish I had some inside info on the name, but I don't... I know that they're down to 5 potential names (maybe 3). My faves are Krāken and Evergreens...but if I were a betting man I'd put my money down on Sockeyes with an indigenous look/feel. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Just for fun...a little while ago, for the Holidays, I did up a "12 Days of Krāken" poster... Some of the uniforms were legit, and some were just "filler" to get the numbers up to 12 ... like the "Krākeneer" pirate-theme offer... The above logo wasn't the best, as I threw it together pretty quickly, BUT, I thought it could have some potential as a "fan club", merchandise, or promotional piece, so, I simplified it and cleaned it up a bit... You could have a "KrakenCrew" version for fan-club stuff... or a "KrakenBrew" version for coffee, craft beer and mugs... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering...not only what the name & colours will be...but what theme they'll take?... Indigenous?...Nautical?...Rustic (plaid)?...Other?... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCMacbeth Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Well, since this sub likes to post some Seattle stuff, here is my attempt at one. IMHO, Seattle should call itself the 'Emeralds' as a tie in to the city's nickname 'Emerald City'. 'Sockeyes' feels too Minor League Baseball-like, and same goes with 'Kraken' (though it might grow with me later). Meanwhile, aviation-themed names (Aviators, Pilots etc.) are decent enough to be worthy in the NHL and 'Rainiers' has some potential to go well with the fans since it pays tribute to a baseball team. However, for what its worth, I always go for the Emeralds. GO EMS' GO! The main colour choice will be greenish-blue and double green. Y'know, classic Seattle scheme. For the primary logo, I combine two things: The shape of Mount Rainier on the top and the shape of the emerald at the bottom. Inside Mount Rainier, there is a Space Needle and four pine trees from both sides, each representing four influential Seattle hockey franchises; the Metropolitans, the Breakers, the Totems and the Thunderbirds (currently playing). The secondary logo is derived from the emblem from the flag of Seattle stylised with the letters 'S' and 'E' while the alternate logo goes with a simple route. It's just the letter 'E' fused together with the pine tree. Now, here comes the jersey. The striping pattern that I made is entirely random that I made while playing around with the designs. All I did is just make the stripes jagged (perhaps a tribute to the logging industry in Seattle). The font I used is from the Connecticut Whales. Well, I want to give the Ems' a unique identity on its own. As for the NOB, the home jersey is worn by David 'Doc' Maynard who changed the name from Duwamps to Seattle in 1853 as a tribute to Chief Seattle (which the city is named after).The road jersey is worn by Bill Gates who founded Microsoft in 1975.

Thanks Whittier... @Friedrich Stuart Macbeth...First of all...Nice job on the concept...might be a little "busy", but the colours are great and the angular striping's a nice touch. Secondly...you can keep this post here, but generally, you're better off to start your own thread to showcase and develop your work, rather than mix it in with someone else's stuff. Your work's good enough to have it's own thread. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent the last hour going through this thread and it's bar-none some of the best work this board has ever produced. My favorites so far have been the brown-and-blue Sea Lions, Sockeyes (3rd from left, 4th row down), and the original Totems look. The Evergreens brand has some legs, too. Honestly though, the Sockeyes S logo with the skyline is absolutely inspired. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

This was a fun project because of the variety of options that Seattle has...It was like doing up concepts for an entire league!... Yeah...looks like it's going to be a Sockeyes identity, but Evergreens could be a dark horse. Also...Re: The Patrick Kane graphic that you were inquiring about...I can only take credit for the logos...the colours are from the NHLSeattle website, and I just photoshopped up an existing image from the Blackhawks. Kudos to the artist who rendered this up ... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Hey, future Seattle NHL hockey fans...I've got something for you! "Krāken" may or may not, end up being the team name...so for now, why don't we just have a bit of fun with this. Here's a "KrākenHead" cardboard hat that I designed up for kicks. Here's the artwork...take this to a copy shop and print them out on 11x17" card stock... Then, carefully cut along all the orange lines, including the slots... to be cont'd... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
