POLL New Seattle Team Name

[TheDayMan]

ALL these names are lame.

I get it, you can't have any fun these days without offending some group or another. Also, you certainly don't want to pick a name associated with violent behavior for a hockey team, now do ya?

Because that would be wrong

Don’t be stupid. Totems is kick ass and a nod to, we’ll, the Seattle Totems. Also fits the Northwest vibe. You’re being stupid Hu.

I believe you've already been warned by all the new guys that your sarcasm needs work

I was being serious. Also, in my defense, they’re a tough crowd. And if I have to act like that UCF guy to impress them, it wasn’t meant to be.

If I had a gun to my head and they said pick three or we'll shoot your family:

• Evergreens (they could rip off the Stanford tree logo)
• Firebirds (they could resurrect the old Atlanta Thrashers one)
• Sockeyes, for the lulz

But seriously, Kraken is fucking lame.

Release the Kraken!

Weird. I thought I included that language in the original poll. My bad.

I can live with those. As long as it’s not Kraken, or a mascot that already exists in the area like cougars or Rainiers, I’ll find a way to cope.

Oh yeah, it should definitely be Cougars

I was reading up on some of the explanations on some of the names. I get Totem would be cool due to the older hockey team named that it the 70's, but I really like Rainiers, due to the mountain that's in Seattle.

Nah, changed my mind...the Toke'Ems is pretty fly after all

Contrary to popular belief, the mountain is actually quite a ways south east of Seattle.

Are you sure? I thought it was right downtown and the fish market was on top of it.

I don’t know. Between you and me, I just pretend to be from Seattle so people will think I’m cool.

 

[thedddd]

How about Sonics and they can have Shawn Kemp as a mascot. We all know he needs the money for the kids.

From certain angles it looks like a giant needle. From space.

The league already owns the trademark on Metropolitans (In Canada at least - a UWashington graduate who wants the team named Metros owns the US trademark), so the mgmt group didn't have to lock that one up.

The Snooks

 

[Slimpikins]

Please let it be the cougars. The mascot can be an attractive middle aged woman with a vodka gimlet in one hand and a cigarette in the other, explaining to you how she isn't exactly religious but she's really spiritual.

how bout they call them the Seattle Habs and use this logo
