PromoTheRobot Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) As a Seattleite, I'm liking the 'Quatch and the Kraken to start. Amazons would be good for a women's team if Amazon were join the owner group. I wouldn't go with Seals (Oakland), Sea Lions, or Eagles (nothing that sounds seahawky). But the Thunderbirds is the WHL team and I'm happy to commandeer Cool Bird as the mascot/logo, plus they've already got the Seattle color scheme. Rainiers is the Tacoma AAA baseball team, so I'd avoid that one. Totems would be good -- but logos could get tricky. The orca has been taken by the Canucks as a thing, otherwise Whales or Orcas would be solid. The Grunge, the Plaids, the Hipsters, the Mist, the Drizzle. And I hope for Geoducks to make the public list, just because of the mascot possibilities. Another sleeper will be the winners of the 1917 Stanley Cup, the Metropolitans --- although they'd badly need updates to the jersey and colors. It'd be a nice 3rd jersey for the first couple seasons. Forgot about the Metros. That would be an excellent choice. Your mascot could be "Gooey Louey the Geoduck" but he would look too much like a schwanz.

TrueBlueGED Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I was 50/50, but Carp's logos and Swamp's movie clip sold me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I’m not averse to Emeralds. Kraken would be fun, too. I like fun. Only for the NWHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Not a fan of Kraken but there it is more likely to find a Kraken in Seattle than a Raptor in Toronto. It may grow on me of that ends up as the choice. Hail Hydra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I don't hate Evergreens but there better be a giant joint in the logo. Seattle Cascadia Events? Seattle Seasonal Depressions The Seattle Sog Seattle Sounds, or in that vein, The Seattle Shilshole! (it's a bay, but what fun!) You could definitely do something lumberjack related too. Seattle Skid Rows! Seattle Shredders- get that stoner snowboard/ski culture but yeah, Kraken's ok I guess. I'll never not make GoT Greyjoy testicle jokes if they're bad, though.

I guess my issue with Kraken is, when I think of krakens, warm Caribbean waters and dark rum come to mind. Not the PNW. Maybe there's a chillier kraken, or some terrifying icy megashark- like those prehistoric sharks in Greenland that live for 500+ years if left to their own devices. Could be neat though. Seattle Squid doesn't have the same ring to it, nah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Uninteresting story. Every city I've ever lived in gets more avg rainfall than Seattle. As my 1st year roommate said to me (he was from Seattle): "It only rains once in Seattle -- from November to May." I've lived several places -- including in the Puget Sound area. Some of those other places may have received more total annual rainfall than the PAC NW, but none of them were as characterized by the rain as the areas in and around Seattle and Portland. It's the persistence of the rain, not the overall total amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like living in the produce shelves of a supermarket, but instead of simply misting water, it's a cocktail of apathy, delirium and exhaustion. That said, I'd still love to visit someday. The 71 sunny days a year are probably wonderful. I'd rent a kayak and go on a orca spotting tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been. I did just look, Buffalo gets 93 days of precipitation per year, Asheville 114, and Seattle 152. I'd certainly give it a shot for vacation someday soon.
