Wtf is with the name change stuff guys.
Every team in Seattle has the best name: The Sonics(when they existed) Mariners, Seahawks, Sounders and the new Seawolves. If anything the new Ice hockey team name options being bandied about are teaching us why we shouldn't ditch the name in case we balls it up.
I just always always thought that “Rainiers” was an incredibly awesome team name, and it ties back to our PCL history (which was a damn sight more successful than our ML history). Plus, the team’s nickname in the press was “the Suds” (being owned by brewer Emil Sicks). That rhymes with ‘duds’, which describes our current state of play.
There’s also the “Steelheads”, another short-lived, but incredibly Northwestern name.
