Alternate History Sports / Seattle NHL Team Name Announcement?!? Finally?!?

Is this really happening? Like I've said, one of the funniest follows is NHL Seattle. Strictly for the comments. I wonder what they'll talk about when they have a team name. Sockeyes? Kraken? Guessing from the promo.

I say Foghorns is the front runner now. My dark horse would be the Seattle BoatyMcBoatFaces based on the video.

I’m all for Kraken, TBH.

No, it will be....... The Seattle Hockey Club, and the logo will be a collegiate S with SEATTLE on the front of the unis and the Amazon logo on the shoulders. /s

Haha I hate that I can see this happening. Honestly though, I'm really pulling for Sockeyes. It brings good potential for logos and uniforms. Kraken is a close second as that is probably what they will go with. Either way, I'm just excited to find out the name for my soon-to-be favorite NHL team.

I'm seeing Sockeyes for this one, that promo was upbeat and a little silly, while if the name was Kraken I feel like we'd have seen super edgy shots of stormy waters and ominous shadows in the ocean. Plus, Kraken is extremely stupid as a name for a major league team.

I've got nothing from the video, even though it was a fun one. Has a team ever taken this long to name themselves? Make me feel like they're gonna royally screw it up from too much overthinking.

They might have designed a logo during most of that time.

Dude, Vegas had an entire brand in 5 months. Seattle is almost at 2 years!
