A superfan from Seattle has already gotten a tattoo of the teams logo and it looks so much better than the original. The combination of the primary and the secondary looks awesome compared to what it is right now, bit I ain't hating.

I can only think of the Edmonton Oilers.

Oh wait, I misread that as human feces....

I actually think it kind of messes up the tentacle in the S, but I'm sure someone nutty enough to get this tattooed on them doesn't sweat the little things like that.

Spoiler!


Looking at both the home and away versions with green highlights and red eye, I think this looks a lot better than what they chose. If this had been what they went with, I would have some legit jersey envy.

Even though its after a hockey team's brand, that is otherwise objectively a cool tattoo.

I wonder if that combo would've been too complex as the logo or not, but its damn cool.

Yeah, that's a mess. Both the tentacle and eye are screwed up without the thick blue edge. It also obscures the Space Needle shape in the anchor.

With the whole tentacle theme, maybe they’ll be anime.

That shoulder patch logo has to be top a 5 secondary logo in the league though.

Even as a fan of tattoos I’ve never quite been able to wrap my head around the speed at which some will jump to permanently apply shiny new pop-culture elements to their skin.

The design is cool enough, but the quality of the application shows just how much of a rush they were in to get the pic for the internet.

Seattle CHOPers has a nice ring and they could've built in some lumberjack elements (ties to region's history) and burning barrels (ties to region's present).

The logo for the Seattle Sockeyes could’ve been a salmon missing a tooth, sporting a huge black eye wearing a tilted Gretzky Jofa bucket.

Seems like the world could’ve used that.
