Sure if you mumble all your words, and can’t say the letter R,

I was fine with the Kraken although I like it less now.

 

[JianYang]

The name doesn't fit the team. The name is bold. The team is generic.

Accurate!

Totems

 

[BLNY]

Metro… is just a bad name for a team.

To each their own.

 

[Blazing Saint]

Totems

Like the Totems light green color!

I mean, our team is called the Senators. History and legacy can wallpaper over a less-than-stellar name easily.

Kraken is what I wanted.

I could use more scary branding though. A little more sea monster action and a little less cute.

Then the Red Wings will sue for their octopus!

I wouldn't mind 'Kraken' if they would relocate the team to Norway or Iceland.

Sockeye/Sockeyes was my wish for Seattle.

Wanted this too. Colors could’ve been iridescent deep red and emerald green. Maybe some black piping.

I prefer Cutthroats.

 

[Prsut18]

I wanted Emeralds
Double green or green/gold colour combination


Edit. But Kraken branding is not that bad as whatever Utah is doing..

I wanted Kraken but...

The colors they went with are too mushy, the teal is good but it needs contrast. The logo too is a lot softer than I was hoping for. Look at what they could have done:

That's sick af, actually!

It's incredible - like if I'm doing branding for the Kraken I just say "we have to admit this concept is unbeatable, just pay the artist and take it!"

That is cool. Below is probably the nicest concept I’ve seen for the “Sockeyes” name. Would’ve been just iconic right off the bat. Not sure of the artist, but it’s all over the internet, so it doesn’t matter. Maybe not these exact colours, but the logo and motif is just beautiful, imo.

Not enough tentacles

Not enough tentacles

Ooh that would be cool on the arms and legs as a third jersey.

What was wrong with the Thunderbirds? It has tradition.
