Scythe Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I like the unofficial color scheme. I was thinking a (more pinkish salmon color) and the seafoam green would look great. Good original colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colander Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 For those of you removed from the pacific northwest, a long time ago (early '80s?) Seattle dubbed itself "The Emerald City". So "Wizards" or "Flying Monkeys" - take your pick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanR3KC Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thunderbirds would be a great name and awesome logo with that color scheme Sockeyes? Or the Salmon? That’s bush league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaveByRichter35 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Quote The next stage for the ownership group bringing an expansion franchise to Seattle is to decide on a name, and according to Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston, the group intends to make an announcement on what the name will be before this year’s all-star break in January. “It sounds as though they’re very, very close behind the scenes on finalizing that name and they intend to release that name to the public before the all-star break,” Johnston said during Hockey Night in Canada’s Headlines segment. “So we’ll start to get a little bit of personality to go with that team.”... https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/nhls-seattle-franchise-announce-team-name-star-game/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
