It is Nippon Ham Fighters not Nippon Hamfighters. This is a key difference. They are fighting on behalf of the Nippon Ham corporation, not against ham. They are certainly pro-ham.

I too am pro-ham, so I approve of this name

Idaho Steelheads in the ECHL are a bit close for comfort geographically.

Kraken and Sasquatch are the two that catch my ear. (Avs have that Sasquatch patch though...) Totems and Metropolitans feel a bit bland if not historical to the region.

Avs dont use the "foot" patch anymore

I for one am glad we got their perspective on Ham straight. That could have been a grievous error.

Pro-Ham. Got it.

The foot was for a Yeti too, not a Sasquatch.

Seattle Pro-ham Sasquatches.

Seattle Reign.

A cool name, plays on King County, and obviously plays on the amount of rain the city gets.

Edit: Ugh, just looked it up and there's a women's soccer team with the name.

I guess I'll go with Seattle Evergreens instead. Or how about Seattle Cascades (named after the mountains).

[SebC]

Seattle Atlatls

Kraken is a great name for a Seattle team. They could have very cool jerseys

[troutman]

Seattle Windows.

No. It’s Graeco-Roman.

I don’t like “Grunge” but could Seattle Grinders serve a similar tributary purpose?

Plus the "release the kraken" goal horn probably won't get annoying at all...

It straddles the line between the cheaper rums like Bacardi, normal Appletons or Captains and the high end stuff like El Dorado or Plantation that's more for sipping.

I like it.

It seems the plural of Kraken is Kraken, not Krakens.

What is a group of them? A pod? A school? A shoal, or a squad?

Huh.

Some of the literature suggests there is only one Kraken. The Kraken. A unique monster.

You'd use Liam Neeson's voice for their entrance.

I for one would love The Seattle Kraken and i think Seattle Emerald's is kind of unique
