If not the 'Totems' - then this is a great choice as well. Or it could be that "Mayor Jenny" just thought it was "pretty" and its not a spoiler at all. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find 'Kraken' no different that 'Raptors' of the NBA...Both are lame 'hipster' names that have nothing to do with the city/region/trades/occupations/etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted July 18, 2019 way back, I suggested bringing back The Whalers! I hope they do! On 8/26/2018 at 2:47 PM, LeftWinger said: I too enjoy when a sports team or even a local business "honors" the local heritage. I was actually more offended and upset when Eastern Michigan switched from the Hurons, to the Eagles, although Eagles is a great Mascot, I felt that Huron's actually celebrated the heritage. Anyhow, I do hope that when Seattle has a team, they adopt a name that also celebrate local history and or heritage. Heck they could always bring back the Whalers logo! There are whales in Seattle. Although the star attraction are Orca's (which would clash with the Canucks Logo obviously) Seattle is also know for Minke, Gray and Humpback whales, which are also very common during the peak whale watching season. Seattle Whalers....nice ring to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'd probably go with the name Seattle Whales for trademark and 'sensitivity' purposes. And antifa would still protest and destroy local coffee shops for "appropriating whale culture" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
