For the pre-season only, the Seals wore the jerseys of the San Francisco Seals of the Western Hockey League.
==Regular Season==
The Seals started the season as the "California Seals" but changed their name to the "Oakland Seals" on December 8, 1967. The Seals inaugural jersey colours were green, white, and blue with a primarily green home jersey and a primarily white away jersey. The jerseys had two outlined stripes on the arms and body of the green jersey and three stripes on the white jersey. There were no names on the back, the jersey numbers were outlined and the sleeve numbers were on the shoulders. 
The back number was blue for the "California Seals" period but changed to white when the team was renamed to the "Oakland Seals." The logo was a yellow, green and white cartoon seal with a black head against an "O". When the team was the "California Seals" the background was a "C". These jerseys would remain in use for one more season.
Despite moving the team away from their fan base in San Francisco, expectations were high with several sport writers predicting the Seals would finish first in the West Division mainly due to the drafting of high quality goalies and defense. 
The team started the season well, winning their first game 5-1 on October 11, 1967 over the Philadelphia Flyers with Kent Douglas scoring the first goal in franchise history. The Seals then beat the Minnesota North Stars 6-0 in their second game with Charlie Hodge earning the shutout.
However, the team then went on a 14 game winless streak. Workers were still installing seats in the Met Center on October 21, 1967, for the first game in the arena as the Seals were set to play against the Minnesota North Stars. The Seals lost 3-1 with Danny Grant scoring the winner. The streak finally ended with a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings on November 15, 1967 but the Seals never recovered.
The Kings were the only team the Seals had some success against. In January 1968, Oakland won all three games versus Los Angeles, including shutting them out twice. Gerry Ehman had the Seals only Hat trick of the season in one of these games, on January 7, 1968 in a 6-0 win. The season series ended 4-4-2 between the teams.
On January 13, 1968, four minutes into a game against the Seals at the Met Center, North Stars center Bill Masterton was checked by Oakland's Larry Cahan and Ron Harris and fell backwards onto the ice head-first. The force of the back of his head hitting the ice damaged the pons and caused severe hemorrhaging, as blood gushed from his mouth and nose. Masterton was taken to hospital where he died two days later, becoming the only player ever to die as a result of an on-ice injury.
The Seals suffered from lack of goal scoring (finishing last in the league with a two goal a game average) and the worst attendance in the NHL. Coach Bert Olmstead clashed with the players due to his draconian style, often punishing the team with torturous practices after losses. With 21 games left in the season, assistant coach Gord Fashoway took over the reins but the Seals went 5-10-6 under him, including an 11 game winless streak to finish the season. The Seals finished last in the West Division and Olmstead and Fashoway were both fired after the season.
