seems to be sure about that. As for a "sounder," what is that? At least a mariner is a real thing, and it does relate to the sea and therefore to Seattle, but it wouldn't be my top choice as a nickname for any team based in a maritime city.

I think Seattle pro sports teams have the best team names of any city in America

Heat, Dolphins, Marlins are fairly unique.

Yeah can't believe I didn't think of this. Great names

Agreed, but why do they have to pronounce "Celtics" with a soft C?

Wagner Seahawks?

The Yankees, Knickerbockers, and Giants

Giants can't be considered great because it's not unique

Houston Astros, Rockets, Texans

Dallas is better than Houston

To each his own. Dallas has two teams names after Cowboys and another named

Texans used to be the name of a Dallas team.

Naming your team Texans is not unique IMO

boorad

Because why? How many teams are named Texans?

Seems lazy to me

I think Oilers was more unique.

Ugh Criticizing the name "Utah Jazz" is just a lazy regurgitation of talking

SPORTS

There are many other examples, not just the Oklahoma City from Seattle example

BRING BACK THE SONICS!!!

New Orleans Saints and Pelicans are pretty unique. Although New Orleans Jazz

AndyDwyer

Zephyrs is pretty unique for a team name, as well

mogelijk

Steelers and Celtics.

No football hurts them but they are 2/2 on the others

"Seahawks" is a stupid name. Unique? Sure. But it's not even a thing. Mariners

SPORTS

Seahawks isn't even unique. UNC Wilmington has been known as the Seahawks since

"49ers" is suited to the SF community but there's also a college using it
