Introducing the Seattle Kraken!

[XX]

Anything other than Kraken would be a disappointment

 

[D0ctorCool]

Great vidya! This is the first time the Seattle franchise has felt real to me. As a Vancouver dwelling Canucks fan, I don't know if I'll ever be able to hate them. It kinda feels like getting a younger brother or sister.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Seattle Starbucks, immediately the most recognized team

 

[Foppberg]

I'd be cool with Kraken, it's a good one even if it's not entirely accurate.

 

[Super Hans]

The Seattle Season 1 of "Unidentifiable Catch"

That's what I got out of the video.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

With the video itself and the colors (turquoise, orange, green), I would say it will be Sockeye or Sockeyes.

 

[Mr Positive]

I don't like Kraken

 

[Mr Positive]

they should troll and be the Orcas

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Kraken is so dumb , let’s hope it’s not that

 

[Pitaya]

And your point?

We have a lot of Nordic players in the league. So what, an American team can't take from other cultures? That's all America culture is, that what previous cultures have given us.

Your argument makes no sense.

GO KRAKEN

What NHL teams have names unrelated to their states?

 

[Sparksrus3]

[Mr Positive]

Kraken is so dumb , let’s hope it’s not that

[David Catselhoff]

Seattle Sonics

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Seattle Whalers.

 

[JPeeper]

Hopefully tomorrow's reveal is just this clip:

 

[Mr Positive]

Seattle Pirates

Seattle Surfers

 

[Kranix]

Kraken is badass

 

[Gnashville]

the team would be a meme if thats the name

Plus its just made up - Doesnt Kraken lore stem from the Atlantic up near the Nordic countries..?

How many Penguins hail from Pittsburgh?
How many Rangers are from New York?

That being said I don’t like Kraken as a mascot.

 

[AsparaGus]

I hope they do something with the colors purple and grey

Seattle is known as the Emerald City. In what world would a Seattle team be any colour than green?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Any name will be overshadowed by jokes, memes and hot takes

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

What NHL teams have names unrelated to their states?

I’m sure Flyers and Penguins roam around the state of Pennsylvania.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Seattle is known as the Emerald City. In what world would a Seattle team be any colour than green?

In my world

 

[Mido]

Seattle Sailor Boys

 

[The Burdened]

Totally fine with Kraken.

About time we got an off-the-wall name. Been how many years since they chased away the Mighty Ducks?
Hopefully they have fun with the design and such. Don't try to be something they're not.

What NHL teams have names unrelated to their states?

Rangers, Flyers, Penguins, Kings, Sabres.
Then you've got teams so generic as to not be really related to states; Flames, Wild, Preds, Ducks, Stars
