Seattle's NHL expansion team is considering when to reveal its name and logo due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.
The team has not decided if it will make the announcement during the sports shutdown or wait. A date for the reveal had not been picked prior to the virus outbreak, and the team is still going through the trademarking process with the NHL, per ESPN.
"In theory, coronavirus will not delay our name and will not affect it, but we're in unprecedented times. So I can't say that as soon as the legal process is wrapped up that we'll go with the name," Katie Townsend, NHL Seattle's vice president of corporate communications, told ESPN.
