Might as well start a Seattle-specific thread. Gee, what could kick it off? How about this? http://goalwa.wordpress.com/2012/12...ike-early-with-seattle-sirens-parody-website/ Portland fans have already set up a parody site in case the Seattle team takes the rumored name "Sirens." Other names in the offing are "Reign FC" and "Seattle FC."
lol X-D This is great. Should have made the kit include a skort, though, for full parody effect. C'mon, Portlandians, you're slacking!
The "invented soccer" meme ala Sounders / MLS is played out, don't you think? Seattle didn't invent women's soccer, nor do we think we did. Now, improving it, that could be.
Seems like "Sirens" is gonna be the choice... http://equalizersoccer.com/2012/12/08/this-week-in-womens-soccer-dec-8/
But here is their actual logo, per twitter. Their name is indeed the Seattle Sirens (FC), and they have an egg-shaped logo. Looks like their team colors will be forest green & egg-shell white.
Sounders Women need a redefining moment in 2013 http://goalwa.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/the-wash-sounders-women-need-a-redefining-moment-in-2013/ There are far more questions than answers in regards to the eventual fate of the Seattle Sounders Women in 2013. The club isn’t saying anything these days though they are plowing ahead with selling season tickets in spite of all the uncertainty. Some fans are taking to social media to ask some pretty fair questions. The most popular being “Who will be on the team next year?” It’s likely easier to say who won’t be.
I got it right, the Sounders player in the photo is Kate Deines. She was one of the draftees before WPS went under and she's a great player. I'm thinking she's going to be playing in the new league. And, I'm hoping it will be here in Portland, although it could be in Seattle. She's a Portland native. Parents in Seattle area, Grandparents in Portland.
I've been following the web registration and social media addresses as we wait for the Seattle team name. The latest is that "Seattle Reign FC" may have pulled ahead as the favorite. There have been Facebook and Twitter addresses for both "Reign" and "Sirens" for almost three weeks now (before the names leaked.) Now the "Sirens" unpublished Facebook page has been deleted. www.SeattleReignFC.com redirects to an unpublished but still active FB page.
There was a "Seattle Reign" in the ABL a decade or so ago. Here was their logo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Reign
A very "feminine" logo for the Reign. Go Seattle, lol. This rocks, but it's gotta be a joke. VERSUS LIVE - only on FOX SOCCER - check your local listings

Maybe a mix of the "sirens" theme they originally planned? I see it has the nautical "pitchfork" theme the original Mariners logo had.
I guess. I would certainly believe a "sirens" influence. Just seems very super-feminist to me with the face in your face, especially with the lips and chin. Sleek, though, I will admit. And nice use of color.
