Seattle Seamen
Mia Khalifa for their logo?
hugo rappe this is the most beautiful name I’ve ever seen
Seattle mariners 2.0
you could combine that name with Shannons erupting helmet idea. their helmets could erupt with white confetti or something. id cheer for that team lol
Mariska Hargitay Thank you, need new coffee >
1 like for this video = 1 respect for Pokey the Tree
CRUSTYPIEMAN I hope that’s sap
Pokey gets no respect
Emeralds is a good name that isn't too gimmicky. you're talking about having to make its mascot totally unrelated but most of the mascots are totally unrelated to its teams name.
I really think the Raniers or the Seattle Sockeyes work best
for emeralds I was thinking an emerald boa constrictor
OpiZoid at first while reading your comment, I thought that was a stupid idea, but after putting more thought, I think it could work out
@MizerisMoney A type of fish
I mean, the Maple Leafs have a polar bear for there mascot and it’s not named “Leafy”
This aged well.
"Don't name you team after a dead franchise"
St Louis Eagles.
Detroit Cougars
Seattle Kraken could be mildly problematic because of the Red Wings' octopus madness, but the Kraken fans could always just throw old tires on the ice.
here we are 3 years later
Kool
And Shannon picks out the name 2.5 years before it’s announced.
The Seattle needles, not only a tribute to the space needle but also the city's drug problem
Winner
So... is the logo gonna be One, big Space Needle, front and center, with crossed heroin needles in the background?
That’s not nice
People can laugh and joke but it’s not funny at all
The Seattle Washington Redskins
John Pittman WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
"I don't want to see a salmon thrown on the ice every time seattle scores a goal...THAT's STUPID." I audibly laughed at that.
Same reaction here.
You guys should seriously visit pike place in Seattle. Awesome place to spend the day and they are known for throwing fish
Salmon were thrown on the ice during the Totems years
And now Seattle throws fish for the 3 stars of the game. 😂
WHAT A GUESS!!!
Seattle Navigators. Great name, and opens up many opportunities for excellent logos and great branding.
John Feathers yeeeeeeeeeessssssss, this is by far my favorite name. It sounds so badass
That sounds like a different name for Mariners
@@yoniyakub1400 exactly...it fits with the "SEA" motif.
So a second captain highliner with the chant of we want fish sticks
@@geraldbizot5770 That would be if they went with the name "Sockeye(s) or Steelhead"
I really like the Kraken name. Lots of branding opportunities, every PP you can have "Release the Kraken!" shouted out, mascot is a squid, you can have tentacles coming out of the scoreboard or something, logo has the potential to look pretty sick too
Yeah, as soon as I browsed the list at the beginning of the vid, it has to be Kraken. Nothing else even comes close. The rest are either just stupid or completely bland, generic rehashes of teams names.
Ryan0413 It would be interesting, but it'd take me a minute to actually get used to calling a Hockey Team Krakem.
Hey we had the Mighty Ducks, but it took a while to get used to that
Redwings mascot would be too similar
What about the detroit tradtion of throwing octipi what would happen to that?
Seattle Metropolitan the old Seattle team
He said that in the video.. 11:55
Would have to rename the division then.
John Connor Not really. When the Expos move to D.C., they went with Nationals instead of Senators, knowing they play in the "NATIONAL" League East. If no one says shit about that, then screw it. "Metros" ftw
Shaedon Shergill maybe the seattle metros? That would sound cool
Clearly didn't watch the press conference
This aged exceptionally
5:53 you can tell he was gonna make a joke about a sperm whale but then he was like nah gotta keep it pg for the kids
"I hope thats sap"
I hope that's sap 😂
The seattle supersonic and the colors are green and gold
MorningLolz yoooo i lol'd so hard when he said that😂🤣😂 like really nigga? Lol
pokey the tree made me laugh so hard lol
"You can't have a tree for your mascot." Stanford?
Harriers. It's a type of hawk which resides in Washington state and you could put a barrier jet as the shoulder badge/alt logo
Washingtonian here. Kraken has always been my favorite choice as it's fun but still manages to not feel as cheesy as golden knights. One that didn't make the list that is actually a top fan vote choice is the Steelheads. I agree though about throwing fish on the ice and as someone who has spent upwards of 40+ hours fishing for Steelhead and have only caught a few I'd be devastated to see that beautiful fish wasted. Also there's the amazing potential of having some pirates of the caribbean music if we become the Seattle Kraken.
Gayne Wretzky Don't forget "Release the Kraken" after every Kraken powerplay
Cheesy is a good thing or you'd have Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers "battling" it out competing only against watching paint dry as a visual spectacle.
Just like how the Might Ducks was cheesy, but they were #1 in merchandise. Obviously a bit of fun allows for a lot of good marketing
Boise Idaho already has an ECHL team called the Steelheads that feeds into the Dallas Stars system.
Some sea shanties from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag would make for *amazing* fan chants/songs! Imagine going against the Kraken on home ice and hearing fans singing shanties in unison! I bet the Bruins would *want* to walk the plank!
"Rrrrrrong ship, matey!"
The capitals might also get a bit cheesed at Seattle if they used Eagles
Trevor Garrett They should be cheesed not getting passed thr second round
TPCWorld - Top 5 Space Videos! booooo what a cringe joke man
Agree. There’s definitely a conflict on multiple fronts.
TPCWorld - Top 5 Space Videos! Cant use that insult anymore
Trevor Garrett exactly. I thought the same thing. Caps have an eagle in their logo
“Is this the 90’s?” It’s always the 90’s in the Pacific Northwest
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!
Seattle Starbucks
Johnny Canuck lol
That'll work perfectly! It's not like there's this multibillion dollar company that already has it.
Seattle Amazons?
Johnny Canuck How about we don’t brand the team names
Seattle SJWs
Poke the tree..... I'm dead
Scrolling back through these comments is a ride and a half now that the Kraken have been official for a while now
I agree with you, I think the marketing will be good with the Kraken. You could really make a nice jersey using a mean looking octopus
Thunderbirds
Came here to say this, and add that we could purchase the name easily if we can afford the darn expansion price tag.
Zachary Emerson screw it, just buy their entire branding
Stormblaze I would agree but Vancouver kinda jacked the whalers color scheme .
arturocomin19 yah fuck there whl they a bunch of bitches there
Yeah I like Thunderbirds if they can sort it out with the WHL,
Renegades sounds like a Vince McMahon owned organization in the XHL.
I really like the Evergreens name, you could play off the forest like the wild or even go into a lumberjack route.
And it even has a Nice ring to it, Seattle Evergreens
IamFonix Go Trees!
The Canucks used a lumberjack as their logo in their whl days and the giants use it now in the whl
The lumberjack thing runs into the Portland Timbers of the MLS. You don’t wanna look like you’re copying a rival to another team in your city.
"I hope that's sap"😂😂😂😂😂
One of the funniest videos on this channel
seriously I laughed multiple tines
Hahahaha Drake diss
It's quite some fun watching this back.
Especially while you swipe away Sockeyes as the very first name even though it's basically the only other option left besides Kraken.
The Seattle Sound.....Not only for the Geography, but also because Seattle is the home of Jimi Hendrix and where punk rock was repackaged as "Grunge"
I also like the Seattle Rain, for obvious reasons
Their MLS team is already named the Seattle Sounders. That would be way too confusing.
Washington's mascot is an eagle and their branding in the past included eagles.
but Kraken is like an octopus/squid and that's what detriots mascot is
Please don't do Seal!! French people will call them the "Phoques"
Felixeur habs French feed now 14+
Ahahahaha true
I️ like names with underlying meaning. Rainiers, to me, would be perfect because it includes the geography of the area and the weather and it is a plural name.
I still can't believe they went with Kraken because if they start losing I'm going to call them the butt Kraken but thank God they didn't go with totems otherwise if they were losing people would call them the scrotums 😂🤣😆😄
I just hope their jerseys are maroon and gold. Would be awesome to see new color ways in the NHL
"I hope that's sap" 😂😂
perfect called shot
Hey, keep up the great content, I’m a daily viewer and have been for a few months as I don’t get enough nhl coverage down here in cincy Ohio, these videos get my through the workday lol.
Cheers!
I’m astonished they didn’t do Metropolitans. I may be in the minority, but I still think that’s the best option.
Dan Hockey metropolitan division?
Why though?
These were newly registered names; I imagine someone already holds the rights for the Metropolitans. Maybe it is still in the running, but doesn't require registering at this time.
That One Guy it wouldn’t be that hard to rename the division
With there already being the Metropolitan division, and the New York Mets, I can't see it happening unfortunately. My vote would be the totems. They were a super succesful minor league franchise in the 50s and 60s that almost joined the nhl, like the Canucks did.
What does a renegade look like? Looks like an ultimate warrior ripoff straight out of 1995 :)
Krakheads has ended up an awesome nickname for a Seattle team lol. Very representative of the city.
I like evergreens a lot. The mascot situation is a valid point and I don't want fans throwing a fucking tree onto the ice but I can picture the logo and jersey in my head already
Seattle Storm?
Oh damn. Didn’t know that. Thanks bro. Just kidding everybody!!
Really?
Similar to the Guelph Storm
All seriousness. They should roll with the old Kansas City hockey name from the 50's the
Scouts. Use the native indian in his environment. Smart choice.
It's basic but but the Seattle Storm?
If not I would try to find a way to get Thunderbirds, Eagles or Mets
I think the WNBA team in Seattle is already called the Storm. 😒
Brandon Boudreau well.... I guess that goes into the same category as the other names I mentioned then
I think they could easily pay off the WNBA team, much easier than dealing with the NFL for the Eagles... I do think storm might be too similar to the Hurricanes, but I do really like it’s sound and simplicity
Springfield own Thunderbirds in AHL
Well done Shannon. Spot on
Eagles could be mixed up with the Washington Capitals alternate logo (especially because of Washington state vs. Washington DC)
ECHL team Idaho Steelheads throw a salmon on the ice after the first goal of a game!
Best Hockey team names in history:
Huston Aeros
Hartford Whalers
St Louis Blues
Buffalo Sabres
Kansas City Scouts
and the best: Colorado Rockies
Blues is not a good name, but okay.
@Nolan and Austin Podcast The Montreal Wanderers is an awful name.
A full 2 years later and they STILL haven't decided on a name.
I like Kraken. Their mascot could be an egg. And get crackin'.
Their mascot would be a Kraken..
But a kraken would be too close to the Red Wings' mascot...
And does that make the fans Krakheads
Nope! Krakers.
seattlesharksfan Haha
If they go with kraken im changing fav teams. Kraken is bad ass. imagine like PP. REALEASE THE KRAKEN.
Erin you got a great point
Its sounds so old already. And thats like only thing that can come out of it PR vise
Erin yeah that sounds awful
Seattle Lumberjacks. A rich timber history and a decent mascot potential. Can envision a game with the Kings vs. Jacks.
I liked the krakens the most, but for some reason i like the idea of the totems. The name i' d prefer is the thunderbird. And you can have a totem as a secondary logo.
I may be alone in this, but I don't think Rainiers is that terrible. Nice tribute to a local mountain. That being said...they'd have to get creative with the mascot. If they were the Evergreens, they could have a lumberjack as a mascot...but that just makes me think of Johnny Canuck haha Totems could be a nice tribute to all the First Nation groups in the Pacific Northwest if it's done in a tasteful way.
Or a beer can
Mad props for Mr. Meeseeks lmao
The Seattle Grunge 🎸
Then they could steal Gritty as their mascot.
Hockey Guy throwing shade at Drake. This channel is the best. As for the names on the board I like aliteration of the Seattle Seals
Any name you come up with will have something to be made fun of.
The Whale. As the team comes on the ice, Scotty's voice announces, "Captain, there be whales here!"
Rocket Jones fat people?
Good Idea...though it'd piss of Whaler fans, even though they don't exist anymore.
@@vrob7 Rosie O'Donnell?
They could keep the marketing idea behind the Kraken and consider a name like "Seattle Leviathans" or whatever word that could define a mythical sea monster. It's kind of like how the Cleveland Monsters are named after the rumored serpent-like creature said to live in Lake Erie and it would keep the ocean theme in Seattle going.
WOW!! Who Knew THG was a fortune teller ...watching this in 2023
Seattle Storm, Seattle Reign, Seattle Rain
Called Duty Guelph storm, Ontario reign........
Seattle reign are the women's soccer team in Seattle
Seattle Storm are the WNBA team.
pretty smart guy, eh?
Just getting into hockey, i was born in seattle and i love my seahawks, mariners, sounders and hopefully my sonics(bring them back!) all the way in Maine. I am really excited for the potential for NHL in seattle. Like what i have seen from you so far. Peaking my interest in hockey. I just need a team to gravitate to. Subscribed.
They should bring back the Metropolitans (1917 Stanley cup champions and firts american team to won the cup)
Seattle Shouldve-run-the-balls
CRUSTYPIEMAN lmao
Patrick Kane 800 points vid.
"I hope that's sap." I'm dying, this is why I've been subbed so long.
- Seattle Maelstrom (named after the whirlpools in the Strait of Georgia)
- Seattle Vulcans (since Rainier is a Volcano, and Vulcan is the Greek God of the Forge)
- Seattle Sea Wolves
- Seattle Rocketeers
Seattle Kraken sounds cool. Plus we need more teams without an 's' at the end.
Matthew Barnaby but what is the short name? Krakes? Other teams can call them the Buttkrakes. I like the Evergreens because calling them The Greens kind of clicks for me.
Buy the Thunderbirds trademarks. OR, the Seattle Chiefs. Pretty non-offensive, considering the name of the city.
I think Spokane has the Chiefs as a minor league team. Plus we would need to find a group of Hanson brothers.
The Seattle Vision since they would come into the league in 2020
Brenden Studer LMAO

Seattle Grunge (birthplace of grunge music.) Seattle Rush (gold rush) or Seattle Boomers (again...gold rush). Seattle Rock (...birthplace of Hendrix, Nirvana, too fighters, etc.) Seattle 47's (Boeing 747...boeing being a Seattle company) . Seattle Techos (tech industry).
Sorry but I don’t see the appeal with Kraken, just doesn’t right to me. Sockeyes isn’t professional enough for me. Whale sounds boring. Totems has some potential though, and if it were the 90s they would have some weird alternate Jersey to rival the likes of the Burger King LA Jersey. Firebirds already is used by the Flint OHL franchise. I think Sea Lions is better than Seals, it’s a bit more threatening. Eagles is too run of the mill. Emeralds is too minor league-ish too. Renegades is ok, just not good enough. They’d be better off taking the identity of the WHL team as you said.
Kraken sounds epic, mean and strong, like the mythical creature. Krakens can pull ships beneath the waves like they're nothing.
Release the KRAKEN!
nice outfit! my cousin Kevin Dineen was the captain of that team (and scored the last goal)... ironically his dad Bill Dineen (my uncle) played for Seattle in 1957 when they were the Totems... not a big fan of Totems but probably will go with that.
For my expansion team in nhl 20 I used Seattle Highlanders. Logo is a shield with two crossed broad swords.
Also like Firehawks, Thunderbirds, or Lancers.
10:20 You guessed it right Shannon!!!
I like the Emeralds; it's a good nod to the city and the mascot could be a miner or something?
Chris McLeod I’m imagining a nice emerald with gold or silver trim.
Bearfan1680 I like this just because they could really make the logo classy. A emerald seal(not the animal) showing the colors and depicting the city.
Question: as you mentioned the dislike of the 'Renegades', what are your thoughts on the Nashville Predators? Or are they apples/oranges?
I did a 32nd team expansion in nhl18 and I called the team the Seattle Pit Vipers, the jerseys were mainly black with blue
Metropolitans >>>
I personally like the Seattle Sea Hags but of the names on this list the one that I would choose would be the Seattle Totems(I actually have a fantasy hockey team called the Totems) and yes Thunderbirds isn't that bad either and it is a lot better then Firebirds. Bob.
In 1978, while in university, I designed a logo and a uniform for a future NHL team called the Seattle Orcas. I didn't see that on your little list.
As a fairly new fan and someone with basically a whole arm sized kraken tattoo I really hope this happens
Once upon a time the Seattle Metropolitans won the Stanley Cup in 1917.
Flint Firebirds already exist. Firebirds is a bad idea
Speaking of Seattle and the NFL, would you be able to avoid having a Seattle Eagles logo that didn't look a lot like the Seattle Seahawks' logo?
I know this video is old but for me a good name would be the Seattle Huntsmen, or Trappers. Get a bearded guy with an axe and a raccoon hat as a mascot.
Seattle steamboats, lumberjacks, pioneers
Yekim Ellemayo A terms for steamboats is Hot Pot which widely stated in Asia continent.
Seattle Steamers would be cool? (Referencing a locomotive train)
V P Then if they get relocated to Cleveland 🤣🤣🤣
And also the coffee industry
V P Seattle Stimuli
Steamer also references a large steaming fresh pile of shit...
Stanley steamers gets carpet cleaner!
" I think thats what spawned drake" I LOVE YOU HOCKEY GUY!
Seattle Sea bass.
When you score a goal knock 5% off a 30 piece tub of beer battered golden goodness!
