I don't mind the name or the logo. What looks absolutely amateur is the colour scheme. Any of those colors on it's own are fine but the wide array of colours make it look amateur hour. If they must have teal, maybe don't make it that prominent. Or less red. But giving equal variance to each colour is an atrocity for a professional franchise.

If you want to see the Seattle team colours - just see what their website is splashed all over with: https://www.nhl.com/seattle

Also: Because there's no colour called "cream red" that I know of, I'm guessing there's a missing comma.

"Light teal, cream, red and white" makes more sense. Cream also gives off a bit of a antique-ish, historical Metropolitans vibe.

I messed around to see what those colours could look like on a jersey template...

Not exactly intimidating for a hockey team. More like corporate colours for an gelato brand.

I was hoping they'd go with a primary green color scheme.... it just fits Seattle too well.

But hey, there isn't a salmon movement in the league yet. Go be fabulous, Seattle!

A more vivid hue of teal would made the combo pop out more. This is the actual split-complementary to the red.

For whatever it's worth, my wife just said she likes the salmon/teal color combo. However, when I asked her if it was imposing, her reply was:

"No, it's girly, that's why I like it."

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Count me in for Rain City Bitch Pigeons.

OMG I was wondering why the colours looked familiar and you just nailed it. It's my local gelato shop!

LOL, I kept thinking "spumoni" for the pastel teal and maraschino cherry red. The cream colour is self evident.

I like the colours. At least they’re something different and not a boring retread.

Yeah anything but another black jersey set.

I could take them a little less pastel like though.
