Colander Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) @MTH "WTF is a sockeye?" Sockeye, Chinook,Pink, Chum, and Coho are all types of salmon. A lot of people living out here (BC/Washington state/Oregon) make their living fishing, especially for salmon. Pike's Place Market in Seattle is a popular fish market which has a lot of pubs, eateries etc and is quite the tourist attraction. Actually, spelled differently the Seattle "Kohos" would be kind of a neat tie in to the equipment, but probably only to goalies...

seagoal Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Sockeye are known for their deep salmon red color and bold flavor. They live all over the place in WA state and are quite common and quite delicious And again, here is the recent marketing color scheme they've been using. No small coincidence, it seems Edited June 24, 2019 by seagoal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live in this part of the world and have ever had the opportunity to attend a First Nations barbecue, you know how delicious salmon can be! Great - still two hours to lunch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colander Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Sort of veering back to the original subject, at least with respect to team name and fish, one other could be "Steelheads" - I could see all sorts of caricatures for that one LOL Edited June 24, 2019 by Colander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not from Seattle, so I probably completely underestimate what it means to local the area... but it seems to generic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoalNet Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Just now, seagoal said: Do you mean the colors or the name? Both really. It's a shame the NHL won't change the division name and let Seattle have the Metropolitans. And as stated above, red and black is the most generic color scheme in hockey.

Scythe Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The old Northstar colors were nice. I've always like that combo but the shades of the colors feels too retro to me now. That combination in different shades would be something to look into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, yellow and green have a natural harmony and are extremely complimentary. I think it's a shame there's no use of it in the NHL. I saw these the other day and I just dreamt about the potential in Seattle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think I have gone bat shit crazy over that colour combo?!?

Scythe Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hey bunny, seagoal i was a little kid when we went but my parents took us to a Seals Canadiens game in Oakland around 1976 when they wore the auqa sweaters. Simmons vs Dryden that night. I remember touching Meloche's blocker when they were walking out of the dressing room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone with teal, but I am crazy about matching and finding a teal shell would have been frustrating at best! 503 had a blowout on that colour scheme earlier this year. When I finally had the faith to pull the trigger, they were out of 5X. Cool story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it’s just down to a cool uni to wear, and I SERIOUSLY hope your team has a cool uni. Red and black = blech! It’s great for other teams, but you need teal or kelly green with sport gold! If your new team’s unis are cool enough, I’ll rock it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
