North Sound SeaWolves’ new crest revealed
A few weeks ago the North Sound SeaWolves of the PDL held online voting to select a club crest for the 2012 season and beyond.
Today the Everett Herald reported on the crest, but their description left the winner in doubt…until now.
Mike Allended of the Everett Herald describes the new SeaWolves crest as “a shield similar to those found in crests for other teams around the world, along with two shades of blue that represent North Puget Sound.”
So I went back to the original story and looked at the four finalists. Allende’s description pretty much fits two of them. So which one won? After speaking with club owner Alex Silva, I can reveal the winner. See below.
In the Herald article Allende paraphrases SeaWolves owner Alex Silva:
Silva said the logo was based on a Haida Tribe legend that says a man found two wolf pups on a beach and raised them. When the wolves were grown, they would swim into the ocean to kill a whale for the man to eat. Eventually they killed so many whales that the meat began to spoil. When the Great Above Person saw the waste, he created a fog so the wolves could not find a whale or find their way back to shore, and they became sea wolves, which is another word for an Orca.
The new SeaWolves crest was designed by Joel DuChesne, who also designed the Kitsap Pumas crest…and the new “George” logo for www.goalWA.net!

A nice look. It was a fun atmosphere last year; I caught their match against Kitsap.
I’m a little confused. Are you speculating that this is their new look or have you confirmed it? I was personally hoping for either the other logo featuring this design or the circle logo. This was my third favorite. But no matter what, it’s better than their inaugural logo.
I am confirming it. I spoke with owner Alex Silva today.
Also, and I meant to say this before, I really like the new look of your site. Love the George logo. Great work from Joel. He was the man responsible for my very favorite Sounders concepts. I’d actually be a bigger Sounders fan if they had gone with his look. I love the Sounders, but my fandom is often tempered by my near hatred of their crest.
I’ll tell you what’s weird about this. These are the final poll results:
Which is your favorite crest for the North Sound SeaWolves?
#1 (26%, 396 Votes)
#2 (34%, 511 Votes)
#3 (37%, 561 Votes)
#4 (3%, 38 Votes)
Total Voters: 1,507
#3 was the roundish one. I want to know what’s up with the website of the seawolves that says that over 90% of the votes were for #2?? What’s up with that? Was the poll hijacked by someone’s interests?
That’s what the SeaWolves say. They posted the poll to allow multiple votes by the same person / address, and then when they realized it had to go back and look at the numbers again.
