So, the vote is coming to an end, however I'm not ending it yet, so if you wanted to vote, and haven't, please do so now!
But as it stands right now, San Francisco and Seattle are both tied at 1st, 2 votes ahead of the rest of the pack, so I thought I'd go ahead, assuming they will be the selections, to get some input on some names. 

For Seattle I've boiled it down to 5 names: Lumberjacks, Whales Thunderbirds, Sea Lions, Evergreens. The ones I'm leaning toward the most are in order, starting with Lumberjacks.

For San Francisco, I've boiled it down to 4 names: Miners, Whales, Grizzlies, Vultures.

For color schemes, since they're gonna be natural rivals, along with being rivals with LA, I wanted to avoid them having similar color schemes, LA included. 

For Seattle i was thinking a blue and silver color scheme for Lumberjacks, Whales or Sea Lions, and either a green and yellow color scheme for T-birds or Evergreens, i wanted to avoid a blue and green so it's different for the Seahawks. But I'll take more suggestions.

For San Fran, I was a bit lost, since both teams are candidates for the Whales name, I think which ever city if it ends up being picked to, will get a blue and silver color scheme, I really like that. For the rest I'm very open. Unlike Seattle, I think there's a lot more colors that can be used for the city. Just look at the real life Bay Area teams, they have a whole spectrum of colors. I think green and yellow could work for San Francisco just as nice as for Seattle. Maybe that's the A's rubbing off on me. Maybe brown and red if grizzlies are chosen, maybe instead of San Francisco, it can be California. I like that idea too. Miners could be Navy and Yellow maybe, but that might be nice to reserve for incase San Diego gets a team down the line.

C&C heavily appreciated and wanted, don't be afraid to suggest new names or colors schemes either! I'm trying to involve y'all in this more.

What about doing Whales using Blue, Silver with some International Orange to add some local flair for San Fran?

Seattle could go in the Brown/Red Direction

I want to avoid orange because of the Tigers, and I've already got their look planned for their move. Brown and red could work for lumberjacks maybe?
