I walked to Westlake downtown during lunch so I could get a glimpse of the flag on top of the Space Needle! Well I don't know if being in the low 16000s gets me seats. I imagine if they have 17500 capacity they will cap season tickets at 15,000. Maybe 15,500. I know they had it set at a 50 ticket limit. Most teams will only allow 4-8 maximum season ticket per person. They now have it set to 20 and a note on their site saying they reserve the right to limit ticket purchases at their sole discretion. Let's hope they modify some of the large block purchases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle was also named after a famous chief, Chief Seattle. http://www.seattletotems.org/Uniform History.html Totems would be one of the few aboriginal based names that wouldn't be hugely offensive and would actually pay honor to the local aboriginal populations culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jovocop55 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) im sure lots of scalpers are in there... probably the same ones in vancouver there is nothing to lose to sign up,, you get refund . At the time season ticket seats are selected, you can request and receive a refund of your deposit if you do not want to purchase season tickets. In addition, if the NHL does not grant us an NHL franchise for Seattle, your deposit will be refunded to you.

brilac Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I was just reading a Seattle Times article, and it was told to Tim Leiweke that at one point 50,000-60,000 people were trying to get in. That's insane! But then I think - why didn't those people come back to the site after the long delays, and put down a deposit? The more the merrier! Is there a tracker somewhere that shows how many people have put down a deposit so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupIsComing Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 This is not good for the fans of the Canucks and dreams of a Stanley Cup. Seattle will be gifted a contender and now the basement-dwelling Canucks, during a "rebuild", will have to climb over two new ready-made teams to qualify and/or get past round one. Great for the owners, good for the League, bad for Canucks fans. Rivalry...pffff...doesn't matter when Seattle is gifted to be better from the start. Just another team for the Canucks to regularly lose to (just like Vegas this year). I wish this wasn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I am hopeful the league has learned from the last expansion, that gifting a team to allow it to be tops in the conference is too much. You'll see something better than older expansion drafts but I doubt, nearly as good as the Vega$ expansion was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Vegas. Which is OK for us, I really think we'll make out just fine again. All of our ELCs who make it next year won't be eligible, Loui E's contract can be exposed, Sutter's too and Guddy if thats how it plays out (hopefully not). So we will be able to lock up 7 key F's not on ELCs, and we may have 3-4 of those. D is where it will be most interesting, the group may look very different in 2020 depending on how this draft goes.

MikeyBoy44 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It's not bad. I love the colors but the logo is too busy. Would look better as a patch. Still kudos to the guy for putting alot of work into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the Wild and Stars, I don't think there is another team in the league that uses green as its primary colour. As for the logo, it does look a bit busy - think it would be better as the secondary logo on the shoulder patch. The logo on the alternate jersey isn't bad either, but I feel it's becoming too common to have a circular logo on the alternate jersey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtieCanuck Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Personally I hope they go with Totems. Makes sense for the market, the original logo would work perfectly and a jersey layout like this one would be perfect and classy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilac Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I received my priority number. It is 6,000 something. That is great. I hope they have more than 6,000 something season tickets, half, or quarter available. I was at the dentist on Saturday, and after addressing my concerns, it was time to talk about hockey. He put down a deposit as well, and we were talking about the 33,000 deposits. Impressive of those deposits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
