0367: Reviving the Metropolitans

Here's a fun one. We continue our theme this week of reviving old hockey franchises. The PCHA's Seattle Metropolitans have the distinction of being the first American hockey team to win the Stanley Cup. So why has it been nearly a century and the Jet City is still without an NHL franchise? Justin Nahhas puts forth this uniform for the day pro hockey finally returns to Seattle.

By the way, fun fact: The first post of the Concepts page relaunch was Feb. 19, 2012 — and featured Ryan Haslett's Seattle Metros. Coincidence? Of course not.

Justin read through your feedback and made some revisions to his Seattle jerseys — which include a new primary logo for the home and road sweaters.

0075: Vintage Seattle

Vintage Week wraps up today as Micah Loyed gives us Seattleites something to think about. He's resurrected the Seattle Metropolitans. Here's how he describes the design: "The main crest has a nod to the Supersonics but incorporating 'Seattle' in a manor that is a tad more legible than the beloved 'Seattle on the path of the S' design."

But wait, there's more...

This one is just a bonus. Micah also put together another Emerald City-inspired concept for us. Thoughts on the Seattle Warbirds?

0026: Green-a-thon, Part IV

Green-a-thon Week is winding down, but in a way, it's just getting started. Since the announcement of a plan to build an arena in Seattle, buzz has been building about the possibility of the NHL to land in the Emerald City. Hm, Emerald City. Seems like the perfect city for a team decked out in green. Keith Welton presents the Seattle Totems — in green! While I may not be totally sold on the logo itself, I'm definitely behind the concept.

0001: The Seattle Metros

Today, the Concepts page is relaunching with a new post every day! As promised, we're starting with Seattle — which has been in the news this week after announcing plans for a proposed hockey arena. With the possibility that the Phoenix Coyotes could relocate to Washington state, Ryan Haslett tried his hand a potential rebranding. He's brought back the name of the city's original team — the Seattle Metropolitans and combined a couple of well known logos to create one for his new team.
