What did you want Seattle's NHL team to be named?

[Sigh]

Someone posted Battle Cattle back in the day. It's been my fave ever since.

 

[3074326]

Kraken

Tired of the generic bullshit names

I also don’t think Sockeyes sounds good at all.

 

[BB79]

The Seattle Grunge with flannel jerseys and Denim colored pants

Looks like a PUBG outfit

Schmeattle.

Seattle Schmeattle.

 

[Blazing Saint]

Kraken

Agree about Sockeyes.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Frasiers.

I like Kraken though.

 

[Rich Nixon]

For me, I wanted it to be the Scorpions so badly. It's very due for a pro sports brand.
Sounds dumb and random, but I wanted it to be like the Yin/Yang match for the same place the SuperSonics will play in the day they return.
A shutout is known as a flawless victory. A goal in OT is also known as a fatality.
They'll mostly play Scorpions songs throughout the games.
Goalies do scorpion saves!
Score-pions!
The colors I think would be Coral & Emerald.
Can't spell Scorpions without Sonics!

I feel like this sort of jubilant and irreverent thinking is no longer allowed in professional sports. The consultants would furrow their brows: "Yes, but will we be 'clowned' online for the lack of scorpions in Seattle? Isn't that too desert-coded? And do we really want to break the 'bug barrier' in the NHL? Let Toledo test those waters...let's do the mythological rum tie-in."

Meanwhile in the 60s it was like "We call em Penguins cause it's alliteration and hockey is cold."

I like your thinking.

 

[Blazing Saint]

Frasiers.

I like Kraken though.

Frasiers unironically sounds good.

Thank you for liking my thinking, lol.
Btw, I heard Kraken is a sea monster from the Atlantic.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Totems

 

[Blazing Saint]

Totems

Totem titties.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

MegaCorp.

 

[Blazing Saint]

MegaMicroCorpSoft.

 

[centipede2233]

Seattle Sexy Sluts

 

[MessierII]

Metropolitans

 

[Blazing Saint]

Can't spell Metropolitans without Oilers!

 

[Chet Manley]

Washington Capitols

 

[Blazing Saint]

Washington Capitols

Seattle Washingtons, it is!

 

[Coffee]

The Seattle Hedgehogs in honour of the Sonics

Done

 

[Grinner]

Chinook's

 

[Rcknrollkillnmachine]

The Seattle Francis. A very inoffensive, safe and mediocre name much like the GM's tenure.

Jokes aside, the Kraken name grew on me.

 

[MoneyManny]

The Seattle CHAZ.

 

[BB79]

Jokes aside, the Kraken name grew on me.

The only name that's worse is "Climate Pledge Arena". At least if it was named Amazon Arena we could refer to it as "the jungle"

 

[Ceremony]

Seattle Cranes, obviously.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Sure if you mumble all your words, and can’t say the letter R,

So literally everyone from South Boston when they drink?
