I know it will never happen, but it would be awesome if they bought the rights from the Thunderbirds and used those uniforms. Those are some of the nicest jerseys in the sport.

They've updated their website and social media with soft teal and salmon colours, leading to speculation Sockeyes may indeed be the team name.

Can't see them with a west coast aboriginal-inspired motif though (see Vancouver's Orca). That scripty "Seattle" font could be a design hint though.

And of course, Salmon and Teal are muted variants of the original Seattle Metropolitans' green and red.

Ooof, those feel like they were designed in the mid 90s.
Not a fan.

Those yellow and green ones a few posts up there are beauties

That's a ballsy chioce of contrasting colours for an NHL team. It would look good a league or two down the chain, but pretty risky when you're an NHL start up.

More sleuthing via a font identifier: The font used in the Seattle wordmark is called "Emerald Script." https://allbestfonts.com/emerald-script-font/

Ughh...

Looks like the Canucks and Coyotes had some hideous bastard child. Don't like it...

The sock puppet on the other hand....that's Gritty level hilarity.

Somewhat credible source.

Pantone equivalents to the hex numbers I got from the website...

Seattle Sockeyes is a good name.

It's not in the running, but I think Seattle Seals would've been a great name - ties into league history, matches up with the geography, and they'll play in a division with orcas and sharks.

I like Sockeyes better than all other NLL-rejected options like Kraken and Storm etc

Sockeye's life span is about 5 years... And it's a natural prey to bruins, sharks, and other predators... Just sayin'...

I actually like the move. The NHL has too many safe colour schemes. I’m sick of Red/Black/White or Red/Blue/White. Bring on the salmon and teal!

If the red colour is used sparingly on highlights, it could be pretty cool. Maybe something along these Nordiques jerseys, but with teal:

I love the colours designs in the pictures. The logo is pretty cool too. And I hate almost anything new.

Based on those colours, I expect a sorta retro vibe to the uniforms.Maybe look to past Seattle sports teams for design cues.

on some further reflection, this is as bad of a name as "Ducks"...
