Wild is one of the underrated logos in the league. The Kracken along with the Jets are among the most unimaginative and predictable logos to come along. It’s like they just entered the city into a name and logo machine and the stock imagery spitted this lame thing out.

Minnesota Wild is probably my favourite logo in the league. I do not hate the kraken logo, but I will vote for the wild here

 

[Dominance]

I’ve always liked the Wild logo. Really imaginative.

But that Seattle logo...clean. Always been a sucker for teal.

 

[JaegerDice]

I really like the Wild logo. I do think it would benefit from fewer colors though. The new RR jersey with the Northstars colors makes all the details easier to make out with a quick glance.

The Kraken logo is pretty good, but a little generic for my tastes. I really do appreciate the negative space tentacle up the S tho.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

love Seattle's colour scheme and the logo is pretty sharp IMO so I chose them

 

[jetsforever]

The Minnesota logo is very polarising but I have to take points off for how muddled it becomes when small or far away, plus it's a bit too busy IMO.
The Kraken one is pretty great though - very clean while conveying what it needs to

What? That's basically what a logo is meant to do. Do you also hate Calgary's, Toronto's, and New Jersey's?

 

[um]

Seattle's looks like a shoulder logo.

Everything about Seattle is awful. Name, colors, logo, all of it.

 

[Gurglesons]

Wow. I'm surprised to see this many votes for the Wild logo. It might look good as a graphic, but it is seriously the most busy and ugly logo in professional sports for me.

 

[Rempe73]

Both logos, for me, are 8/10. As a kid, I’ve always loved the Wild logo. It’s one of the greatest logos ever designed, but there’s something off about it that makes me dislike it more than I should. And I wanted Seattle to do more with their logo, but I love cryptids and legends like the Kraken, and the logo does a good enough job portraying it. And the Space Needle is just an awesome touch.

Nope I don’t. They’re all fine.

 

[Taluss]

Love the Wild logo, that’s my vote

 

[EdJovanovski]

One of the best in the league vs. one of the worst in the league
Wild AINEC
Seattle looks like one of those generic logo templates from NHL 21

Minnesota's logo sucks IMO. Trying too hard to do too much, and in the end it just doesn't work for me.

I like Seattle's logo, simple and elegant with some interesting details.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Minnesota's logo is clever but ugly, give me Seattle's.

 

[Legionnaire]

The Wilds are my favorite logo.

It doesn't look good on the ice, but I think that has in part to do with their home jerseys. The logo itself is not a problem if it's on something cleaner. They could also tweak the colors a little bit, maybe ditch the red in favor of yellow.

 

[DitchMarner]

Everything about Seattle is awful. Name, colors, logo, all of it.

Maybe they should have called the team the Seattle Nirvana and come up with a concept for an innovative logo?

 

[BKarchitect]

Wild logo as a stand alone is better but much prefer Seattle’s overall branding and identity.

This is the far superior Seattle logo. I love it...it’s simple and sharp and reflects both the nautical theme and the city.

The S logo actually looks really good merged with this logo too...with the Kraken’s tentacles snaking it’s way up the anchor and Space Needle..it’s super cool...would be a fantastic alternate jersey logo.

 

[Eegs]

Fun idea for a poll. I'll be in this for the long haul.

This; the merged logo would be top tier, instead they have 2 low-mid tier logos.

Voted Seattle. But that's a tough matchup. Minny has a super underrated logo, and is definitely top 10 in the league.

I just really like the Seattle look and colour scheme.

Seattle's looks like a shoulder logo.

This exactly. It just seems like it's missing something.

Minnesota's logo is very good, one of the best in the league.
