Introducing the Seattle Kraken!

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Name is aight , but not a huge fan of the logos

 

[Oddbob]

The name is DUMB!

The logo as lame as can be!

Colour scheme is pretty bad as well!

It's kind of odd to choose the name of an outlandish sea creature and then have only the letter "S" (with some very vague hints of the creature incorporated into it) and an anchor as your marks. The marketing director seemed to say that there were more "looks" coming in future. But those of us who had never heard of a "kraken" before this naming process are still in the dark about one of these things looks like (at least from the team's perspective). Nevertheless, the name is a good choice for social media and intellectual property protection reasons, which I expect played a large role in the choice.

All this god damn blue they should’ve just bought the name from the Blues

Before pop culture it was basically a huge squid or octopus from what I've seen. I've learned today it was actually referenced in Moby Dick. It'll definitely be interesting to see what angle they take towards creating the beast, or if they will just use the movie footage already made.

Pretty sure 40% of you would've hate on the new team no matter what they were called.


Anyways, glad they picked that name, the logo is really solid. Going to be fun!

Two-way street.

Sad!

I respect that they went to left field for the name. Let's not forget, the kraken is a powerful, horrifying creature beyond all measure. A hockey team can only hope to achieve that ideal.

I love this jersey despite it looking like a pajamas from The Seventh Seal.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

@sparkychewbarky Wow, nice work man. Did they give you any credit?

What happened to those old designs anyways, liked them better.

 

[Oddbob]

Sad!

Sad because I don't like bad names and jerseys?

 

[Nemesis Prime]

cool jerseys but would have preferred the Seattle Riot Breakers instead

Seattle Komrades

 

[nowhereman]

Beautiful! Excited for another Pacific Northwest team. Hopefully, this is the start of a great rivalry with the Canucks.

Not surprised at the bitching and moaning about the name/jersey. It doesn't seem like you can please anyone these days...

No, your comment just looked like a Trump tweet lol

What should we call it? The Can-Krak Cup?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Those jerseys give me mid-90's Islander vibes.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

I don’t mind the name but the colors look atrocious

 

[Dellstrom]

Cool name, OK logo, will have to warm up to the jerseys.

 

[Bluenote13]

Awful name.

"I'm a kraken!"

Oof......

 

[Eegs]

Logo looks like something that should be on an MLB hat, but I like it regardless. I think they did a good job overall with the name and logo.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

On a scale of 0- Jeff Goldblum I care at or around Pauly Shore.

Ha ha. I hated the Canucks because I got into seriously following hockey right around the time the Canucks had that great run to the SC finals and had thrashed my current team (Sharks). I am on the fence switching to the Kraken but since Kesler and Burrows are no longer part of the Canucks, I actually like their young core. Now I can support 3 teams to win the cup in different orders ..

 

[paul9kariya]

embarrassing. ECHL team name.

 

[HF007]

Name is good, colors are unique, but that logo is AHL level. Should’ve gone with a flat design or something more timeless/classic

I'm sorry, the official hockey fan code prevents cheering for 3 different teams, especially in the same division.
