The Seattle Kraken

[PenguinHunter]

The potential ownership group of a potential NHL team in Seattle has registered 13 team names.

The 13 names are the Cougars, Eagles, Emeralds, Evergreens, Firebirds, Kraken, Rainiers, Renegades, Sea Lions, Seals, Sockeyes, Totems and Whales.


Some of them are pretty bad:

Seattle Kraken - Does not flow
Seattle Totems - Does not flow
Seattle Whales (Too close to Vancouver who is already has a Whale as a logo)


Ones that I like:

Seattle Sockeyes - I think it has a nice ring to it.
Seattle Cougars - Its a cat that doesn't exist in major professional sports very much. Although Prince George Cougars are close by.

I don't like any of them.

All terrible.

The Whales? Your closest rival still uses a whale in their logo and there has already been a 'Whalers', What the what are they thinking?

[JagrBomb]

Supersonics please

[PenguinHunter]

I don't like any of them.

Yeah, just thinking about it I came up with a few I like better.

Seattle Storm
Seattle Spartans
Seattle Scorpions

Side note: Seattle Skyhawks - Wouldn't that be quite the controversy with the Seattle Seahawks

[Doug Glatt]

There will be a lot of nostalgia votes for the Rainiers. It is a symbol of our city, our first baseball team was named the Rainiers. And our brewery pumped out that delicious golden draught, Rainier Beer.

I would be good with Seals. The rest of them fail.

The problem with Seals is that there was already the Golden Seals... not original?

And that is interesting about the Rainers... that would be cool a team name that means something!

Not very creative, very safe choices so they dont piss of any special interest groups.

Grinders (coffee connection)
Stoners (heh)

Yes we have tons of delicious coffee and outstanding cannabis varieties. Just a couple of great reasons to live here.

metropolitans ?

[Doug Glatt]

Seattle Metropolitans has been bandied about. It was our hockey team about 100 years ago that won the Stanley Cup. Seattle was the first American city to win it, BTW.

Seattle Cougars

The logo doesn't have to necessarily be a cat. It can be the face of an older woman.

Seattle Sockeyes
Seattle Firebirds
Seattle Evergreens

I don't mind Sockeyes and Evergreens have solid rings to them

Kraken is spiced rum so I doubt they choose this

[fantasyhockeygeek]

It would be lame if it were the cougars, since that's the same species as the Florida Panther, just a different name for the same cat.

Sockeyes is good in my book.

NHL won't approve a team being named the same as one of their divisions.

Seattle Amazons is my vote. Drones will deliver you beer during the game so you'll never have to leave your seat.
