Team Branding Thread (Logo, Colors, Uniforms, etc.)

[gstommylee]

I'd like for a team to use yellow or light green as an away jersey colour. Everyone has white as their light road jersey, but the league could do with variation.

Obviously the Predators use yellow as their dark for some reason, so Seattle would need to flip to home colours when playing down there.

OVG/Team owners already said no to green/yellow those are NBA sonics colors and being reserved for such when the NBA team returns.

Whales would be interesting. Make it blue and green, and play Brass Bonanza. Washington Whales.

Btw, have they decided the team will take it's name from the city and not the state? Because using Washington, as they have every right to use, would create an interesting dynamic.

I expect the Sockeyes

I like this version a bit better:

I can't see them using Washington, but not because of DC. Usually, teams will do that to attract fans from all over the state/region because there's a second city or a lot of population outside of their metro area. People in Washington state are already used to rooting for Seattle teams, so I don't really see a need.

I really like Kraken, but the Sockeye(s) is very cool as well.

Would love if that secondary logo of a sock with an eye was actually used. Think that color scheme in that template that was drawn up is pretty kick ass.

 

[jetsforever]

I don't mind 'Sockeyes'

Would only make sense if the Canucks move on from the orca logo imo. It would be weird to have rivals with logos both being whales.

Seattle Tsunami...sounds nice, logo possibilities, and no one wants to see one of them appear. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing though.

I think all the recent attention of the Cascadia subduction zone kills that idea.
Otherwise, it does roll off the tongue.

We have a binding contract and you must now die

I always enjoyed in courtrooms how someone would say something incriminating, an attorney would protest, and the judge would say, "Strike that from the record." Like a jury could unhear, "Yeah - I killed her."

 

[StarterHart]

Rainiers is still the best. And actually has something to do with Seattle/Washington, unlike stupid stuff like Kraken.

My suggestion is the Washington Capitalists. And have Bill Gates be their mascot.

I laffed.

 

[periferal]

Good news is that if they go with Kraken they won't encounter any lawsuits.

Evergreens

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Washington Redskins

 

[Lords of Scythia]

Aren't they gonna be these guys?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Totems.

No idea if they are or are not but it won't be using the same colors.

 

[Puckrobber]

Yes, we have a Washington Wild girls team for ladies under 20, so, don't read too much into the jersey. Besides, I can't see Seattle's team going for colors like that. Wouldn't be natural.

I'm betting there will be green & blue as some of the primary colors. Sorry 'Nuck fans.

 

[Lords of Scythia]

I'm totally new to hockey. Are the Seattle Thunderbirds an old team or something?

They're a Canadian Hockey League/WHL Junior Hockey team that used to play out of Seattle and now play in Kent, WA.

Hockey's "minor leagues" are a little weird.

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

Seattle Pike for the fisheries and coffee. Or millennials dream team Seattle Hipsters

 

[End on a Hinote]

Red, white and green was their colour scheme as the Metros, and it's a scheme that's underutilized in the league today.

I think they may go for that.

 

[Soundgarden]

I'd really hate if they went red. It feels like every other team is red.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Red being a primary color to represent the Emerald city is a bit of a let down if it turns out to be real.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Why not the Seattle Wolves? The PNW has an increasing wolf population. Plus Washington is home to a couple of wild life sanctuaries that house some of the packs. Plus, technically, the NBA team in Minnesota are the TimberWolves. I know there is an AHL team that shares the name but.. wth cares? lol

 

[GuthrieGovan]

Not a big fan of any of them, but for some reason "Sockeyes" is the least terrible out of the line up imo.

Rainiers isn't bad either.
