It's going to happen. Which design do you like best?

Krakens, but Aviators would be ok. Pilots, too. Really like the Krakens fatty S and green.

Hockey in Seattle is great.

The only thing I don’t like is that it puts Arizona in the central. They need to do 4-team divisions like the NFL.

Of those, I like this the best:

The others look too much like they are trying to be a NHL version of the Supersonics. The Pilots one is OK, but I hate those horizontal stripes running across nearly every jersey element.

Not a fan of 'Metropolitans'

Seattle Mets? Metros? Mouthfuls?

I could get used to it, not sure I want to. I like the design though.

Oh the name sucks, that was just the look I liked!

[Dapper Dan]

I’m assuming they would go by the Metros. Which is weird since they aren’t in the Metro division.

[Hawgdriver]

Krakens is the best. Has a kind of doom metal / mythology / anime porn vibe. Basically everything that is quintessentially hockey and Seattle.

Oh man. How can you not go with the Sockeyes?

I like "Seattle Should Have Given the Ball to Marshawn Lynch On The One Yard Line During The Superbowl" and the "Seattle Spicy Boys"

Totems, what the freak?

[BroncoJoe]

Totems, what the freak?

Original name for their hockey team back in the 70's-80's. Nearly became an NHL franchise, but didn't have great ownership.

[Hawgdriver]

Totems is weird but kinda cool actually. Just doesn't roll off the tongue.

Sockeyes though. Literally punching someone in the eye. And a sock with an eye for a logo. So easy.

Totems will invoke endless pole jokes.

I can live with this.

Seattle Shiticanes tho. Could have this segment on the big screen that shows the shit barometer dropping right before the 3d period.

Kraken is one hell of a name.

Very cool, unique name.

Sports marketing win of the day (considering the other sports marketing thing in the news, it wasn’t hard).

Sounds too much like "scrotems". Might as well name them "Seattle Ball Sacks".

[SR]

I think Kraken is stupid. With a name like that, they better not suck. I would've gone with something more aviation-centric like Seattle Aviators or Seattle Aeros. Pilots I don't like because the red jersey reminds me too much of the Pilot truck stops. The Rain City Bitch Pigeons was my favorite though.

[wayninja]

I'm cool with Kraken, it was better than most of the other suggestions.

[aberdien]

I don't like hockey but that name is so cool that I might become a Kraken fan.

[Hawgdriver]

It's possibly metal imo.
