You're not allowed to reference Native Americans anymore. - Hunkulese
Actually you can, as long as it’s not racist and you work with the local indigenous people and native artists on the logo. |

First of all, it's a Province, not a providence. Secondly, square miles don't buy seats - people do. The only two GMAs that have more than 1 team are LA (18.7 million people) with 2 and NY (20.3 million people) with 3 teams. The Toronto GMA has 5.9 million people so I'm not following your logic, if any. - IslesFanSince72
My mistake Province....
Correct sq2 miles doesn't buy seats, well I do travel 2-2.5 hours to see the Flyers at home, but it does buy merchandise, television contracts and other things. If the only revenue for teams were based off of just seats all teams would be much more equal, but we know that is not the case.
The whole country of Canada is only 39-40 million people? That is really not that many. Yet the percentage of revenue made by the Toronto Maple Leafs is easily top 3 in the league year after year...and you are telling me that is based off of only 5.9 million people? So if that was the case that means there really aren't that many hockey fans in the rest of Canada. MLSE constantly battles to keep other teams out the Ontario area citing territory ownership, why? |

Seattle Cougars - generic
Seattle Eagles - generic
Seattle Emeralds - Right and next up the Houston Rubies
Seattle Evergreens - not quite as dumb as Everblades, but at least Everblades is a pun
Seattle Firebirds - a firebird isn't a real thing. Sounds like Seattle Phoenixes
Seattle Kraken - pluralize it and it's the best of the bunch
Seattle Rainiers - almost racist, people will care
Seattle Renegades - or Rough Riders or RedBlacks...sounds like losers
Seattle Sea Lions - can't imagine a logo
Seattle Seals - was stupid the first time, is still stupid
Seattle Sockeyes - strong hockey pun game on this one.
Seattle Totems - almost racist, people will care
Seattle Whalers - No way an NHL club is called the Whalers if they ain't in Hartford - thebutlerdunnit
Let’s hope these are not the only choices. Otherwise you end up with a name like the Vegas Golden Showers |

They constantly battle to keep another team out of a 100 mile radius, because that's what the rules say they can do, and it would be stupid to allow competition into the area.
Not really hard to figure out. |

Another franchise we don’t need - BringNYIhome[yeah there’s really no reason to have hockey in Vegas] that Bettman will force every team to surrender their first born male child to. And real hockey markets like Quebec get snubbed again.
We don’t need more eastern teams.
