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

[miscs75]

The Seattle CHAZ.

That should have been the location of the arena.

 

[DaveG]

What was wrong with the Thunderbirds? It has tradition.

by far my #1 pick but the local WHL team already has it in use.

1 - Seattle Thunderbirds
2 - Seattle Totems
3 - Rain City Bitch Pigeons

 

[Blazing Saint]

Another name I forgot to mention was the Breakers.

 

[njdevils1982]

It should have been the Seattle quad long shot grande in a venti cup half calf double cupped no sleeve salted caramel mocha latte with 2 pumps of vanilla substitute 2 pumps of white chocolate mocha for mocha and substitute 2 pumps of hazelnut for toffee nut half whole milk and half breve with no whipped cream extra hot extra foam extra caramel drizzle extra salt add a scoop of vanilla bean powder with light ice well stirred team

But Kraken is fine ……

you forgot the vodka

 

[Blazing Saint]

you forgot the vodka

How much is Seattle's Russian population?

 

[Golden_Jet]

How much is Seattle's Russian population?

Probably small, with the drinking laws there.

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!

Forgetting to add: The Mortal Kombat theme song kicks in when a fight breaks out.
Whether a Scorpion player wins or loses a fight: Shao Khan's voice is heard. "Well done!" "Pathetic!"

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Seattle Starbuccaneers

 

[Brookbank]

The Seattle Baristaz

 

[tabness]

They should really stop with the offensive team names of scary and dangerous things. A Kraken is a evil sea monster of legend and even more perniciously, the barn is named by a big tech corporation trying to climate wash their massive negative societal impact.

Seattle Picturesque Pines or Seattle Comforting Mist would have some good ones off the top of my head.

If you want an intimidating name, the Seattle Passive Aggressiveness or Seattle Antisocial Nerds works well

 

[Lieutenant Bookman]

The Seattle Washington Capitals

 

[Bizz]

Pilots.

And I think it ended up being one of the final candidates.

But apparently the name is still copyrighted.

 

[Hennessy]

Sockeyes.

Kraken isn't a bad name/gimmick, but it has zero to do with Seattle.

 

[Blazing Saint]

Kraken isn't a bad name/gimmick, but it has zero to do with Seattle.

Just like Penguins in Pittsburgh! I also liked the Emeralds name.

Hey look! It's the end of Hey Arnold's credits!!!

The Seattle Grunge with flannel jerseys and Denim colored pants

Now if you were to unbutton the shirt except for the top this could've been the 'cholo' look too.

Yes - the 'Seattle Cholo', or 'NorthWest Cholo' in the house yo!

 

[Son of Nogatco]

I don't mind Kraken, and I like their uniforms. But, I'd like to have seem them revive:

Seattle Metropolitans - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Caps were almost named the Metro’s but didn’t want something so close to Mets

 

[Son of Nogatco]

by far my #1 pick but the local WHL team already has it in use.

1 - Seattle Thunderbirds
2 - Seattle Totems
3 - Rain City Bitch Pigeons

 

[Rcknrollkillnmachine]

It's a masterpiece

 

[thebeernerd]

Anything that wasn't a nod to the owner's ego (like Vegas) or a stupid shitpost meme was fine by me.

 

[MS]

There were so many good options including multiple with great connection to the city's hockey history and they went with the dumbest name in the world because they thought kids would think it was cool.

Totems would have been my choice.

 

[FerrisRox]

New York's National League baseball team would shake their heads.

New York's National Football League team didn't seem to have an issue with the Winnipeg Jets.

Hell, New York's National Hockey League team shares a name with the Texas Rangers and their other NFL team shares a name with the San Francisco Giants.
