Already taken by the QMJHL's St. Johns franchise.

In the photo the water is foamy. Might mean it's polluted and if someone was looking for a scary name - Seattle Pollution is quite scary.

Sockeye???
Why can't they be called Salmon, after all sockeye is a salmon...type of salmon.

Salmon sounds, looks better what the word Sockeye....eye sock, sock eye....

Jeff Bezos & his Climate Change Arena lawyers would never stand for that.

You prefer a name that you're probably going to have to explain over and over again to people who have no idea what a Kraken is? And if it's because of "Release the Kraken," that's going to get old mighty fast.

I want a Kraken vs Gritty death match

not to mention trademark infringement on Portland's 26 year franchise at Hadlock Field, btw the Q team and any team in New Brunswick has always been Saint John, IT'S likely why Newfoundland as a provincial name, not just for the breed of dog, was selected for the latest entry at Mile One Centre....

And penguins live on the two poles. Get a map

Penguins do not live at the North Pole. This is getting worse for you.

Kraken would be a decent name for an ECHL team in 2006 capitalizing on the popularity of Pirates of The Caribbean.

Water? Maybe its the Seattle Broken Ice Machine, or Melted Ice, or maybe just the Melts.

Judging by the picture: The Seattle Sea

Sound or Sounders wouldn't be bad.

Sounders is the MLS Team already in Orlando in their return to play....owned by the same group who runs the Seahawks..and the NBA Blazers

Crosses fingers for Seattle Sea Serpents

Surprised it hasn't leaked yet

 

[Kalv]

Regarding the video - it does seem more fish related.
Kraken would be in a more scary/dark mood.

And - sockeyes are red. The goal light they fished out, is also red.

Just speculation, anyway.

Ah frick, forgot about MLS.

Seattle Sea Cattle it is.

Turn on your sarcasm button and think about where the SUPER SONICS WENT!!

I was a Sonics fan and to this day I don't think there is anything humorous about teams bailing under shady circumstances.

I'm going off the board and saying Seattle Sound. Has a double meaning with the body of water and the music connection. But maybe too close to the soccer team name?
