Wouldn't it be smarter to use the metropolitans given they have the banner up?

I'd imagine they will eventually go that direction.

The Metropolitans supposedly will be used for a "special occasion" which probably means an outdoor game.

Using the Mets is going to take some convincing and/or cash:

NHL owns “Seattle Metropolitans” trademark in Canada, but not U.S.

If the NHL expanded to Seattle, would they be able to name the franchise after a historic pro hockey team from the Emerald City?

I don't think it would be quite the problem as people think as a alternate

These are dope.

eh i'm not impressed.

Yeah, it's not all that creative.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Same. I like our alternative jersey better.

 

[The Marquis]

I’ll look like crap in that. Not my fave. The prediction is better. Oh well. Everything doesn’t have to be for me.

The concept of a "retro" jersey for a 2nd year expansion team is a little surreal so I say just put the dead carcass of Johnny Canuck in an actual Kraken's teeth or beak and let them get angry about it in Vancouver to build the rivalry .

Well, they never said it was team retro, just that it was retro and reverse. So they could put a senior league team jersey out there and reverse it... which they kind of did with this Ironmen reverse retro.

I always favoured Kraken, but I would’ve been fine with anything except “Sockeyes”. Sharks are frightening. Barracuda are frightening. Salmon? Come on.

I loved Sockeyes. Salmon are scary as f*** when they punch you in the eye.

I’ve grown to love Kraken though and it was among my least favorites at first. When it became apparent to me it’s not a far cry from Devils it started to grow on me.

 

[Scomerica]

It's grown on me. It's at least different. I love our jerseys though. I was initially pissed it wasn't blue/green like other Seattle teams but with hindsight it would be too similar to the Canucks and Thunderbirds. They are pretty distinctive.

I was hoping they'd go green.

Ignoring this logo, which was based on the Metros as the name, it's a sharp design with the double green. I prefer the striping on the main green jersey on the Left vs the white, which looks like the Dallas Stars.

Saw this posted on IG. Apparently the original source correctly predicted that the RR jerseys would be Ironmen-based.

…and I need to charge my phone.

Cream? GROSS.

Cream? GROSS.

Agreed. Cream on a hockey jersey has always just looked like white that was never washed.

The Kraken Winter Classic logo appears to have been leaked.

If that’s the real deal, I like it. Pretty much what I was expecting if they went the Metropolitans route.

 

[Fuhrious]

Wasnt sure where else to put this but "branding" seemed vaguely close enough?

The whole Booktok thing is a bit of a clusterf*** that I sorta wish wasnt attached to the team. Digging deeper and seeing how they brought the one author to a game, gave her a "Booktok" jersey, etc... basically REALLY leaned into the marketing? Feels like this outcome was pretty forseeable and would be nice to not have the Kraken's name linked to it.

Not that there's any evidence left, but I certainly am not even a little surprised that this went down. The Kraken twitter account always came across as a little stalkerish. Either it's the culture of the social media team, or it's one person leaning into something kind of gross and getting paid for it. Either way, I'm guessing that the Kraken have come up with a permanent fix for this mess, if not, it sure looks like it. The twitter account has been wiped of a majority of its content too.

If that’s really the Jersey/Sweater they are going with…

Just take my money now!
