I never liked "Kraken" when they announced the name. I just don't like the way it sounds. And the logo reminds me too much of the Seattle Mariners' logo. I do like the colors though.

I like the colors and logo. Just a... strange name. “Seattle Kraken” doesn’t sound right off the tongue

Do you complain about everything?

No -- like I said, I like the colors. :)

Anyways, not so much a complaint as much as it is an opinion. Not my cup of tea, but whatever. A lot of people don't like the name.

Honestly the worst part is going to be them driving "release the kraken" into the ground.

I can already hear it in their arena.... hopefully they forego the creepy group chanting like Nashville or a LA or Anaheim.

Maybe covid will make that point moot.

There's a Hollywood Undead song where one singer screams "RELEASE THE KRAKEN" and it is a party song, so I would bet it will be one of their arena soundbites you hear 90 times a game.

Shouldn't the "peaceful protesters" demand a name change immediately?

CHAZ Kraken
Or
CHOP Kraken

Shouldn't you prep a bull before it plows your girlfriend (if you're not a typical incel like most MAGAts such as yourself)?

I like the logo:

Seems fairly well thought out.

Didn't think the hockey really fit the hype video, but all the same it's good IMHO.

I believe the logo was supposed to be an homage to the Seattle Metropolitans--the 1st US team to win the Stanley Cup.

That being said, the "Krak-house", "Krak-Pipe", and other associated jokes are already flying around the PacNW.
