Maybe the SA Brahmas could have a bull mascot that has a Dwayne Johnson tattoo?

So looks like we essentially got Tampa to Vegas and NY to Orlando

Lightning play VGK Saturday night, so week 1 home game confirmed as a theme?
Orlando Guardians? Disney tie-in? (Gee I don't know, did Rock win the WWF title in three markets?)

San Antonio Brahmas might actually be my favorite--even if it brings back memories of a surprisingly garbage match with Taker in 1999. Surprising though that the Alamodome is home to the US Army game that the Under Armour one (in Orlando) competes with, guess we work that NBC tie-in too for Young Rock.

Speculation on twitter is the name "Sea Dragons" was shorthand for Seattle Dragons.

So, take these rumored names with some speculation.

Thanks. I have not seen the pictures, so I will take you word for it.

Not really a big fan of that for two reasons: One, Sonics (whenever the hell the NBA decides to bring them back, it'll be 15 years next summer) don't really have anything to do with sea, neither do Sounders nor Reign; and two, Trogdor turns 20, LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!!!!! Of course maybe since Coach Z already ruined everything........................

I mean why don't you just call them the Seattle Kings? The original name for the Seahawks (King County), a nod to UW legend Hugh "The King" McElhenny (died back in June), and a clap at the NBA for shutting down the Hansen-Ballmer purchase (by allowing Ballmer to purchase the Clippers they admitted as much, and exactly where the hell is Kevin Johnson these days?).

We waited all this time for that? I hate the Vipers in Vegas and the Guardians in Orlando. And I don't want Sea Dragons..... Dragons was just fine, just because we're Seattle doesn't mean you have to have "Sea" in front of everything....its kinda hokey. Could've done way better for San Antonio.

I bet they are thinking along the lines of "Sea Dragons" is almost like "Seahawks," right?

If you love the Seahawks you gotta like the Sea Dragons.
