NHL Seattle is looking for insight from the folks who will fill the New Arena at Seattle Center, but at the same time is taking a tongue-in-cheek approach.
Asking fans "What type of team names do you like the most?" elicits responses including "mythical creatures," "sea animals," "historical references" and one sure to stoke a local rivalry, "anything that eats Canucks."
Preferred team colors is another query, with choices including "green and blue," "green and something else," "blue and something else" and "anything but green and blue," again poking fun at their future rival to the north in Vancouver.
A question on the goal celebration sound included an eclectic list of possibilities with local ties, including "ferry horn," "espresso machine," "live guitar solo" and "jet engine."
How about food options at the games? Those include "classic (dogs, burgers, onion rings)," "fancy (sushi, pasta, steaks)", "healthy (vegan, wraps, stir fry)" and "all of the above." Yes, please.
Then there's preferred in-arena music. The choices there include "organ player," "DJ" and "live band," playing Seattle grunge, no doubt. Those unsure can opt for "all of the above."
Sure to get the most clicks is the FAQ asking, "When will the team name be announced?" with the answer, "Potentially Fall 2019 (We can't wait either)."
