Now this is how you do a team name, branding, etc..

- Start date
These franchises either hit it out of the park or totally fail. Blows my mind that it's almost never in between.
Should be the Seattle Snowflakes!
ffs
The Seattle Rioters would be more in tune with the current environment in that city.Should be the Seattle Snowflakes!
It's true - Seattle has pretty much replaced Pittsburgh as the home of organized labor. And they can be quite militant, just like Pittsburgh used to be.
They killed it with the blue on blue on blue color scheme IMO.

You can’t discuss a damn thing anymore without some Trumphumpers or dipshit liberals interjecting their nonsense into the conversation.....
remember the mid-80's here? That TV actor from Starsky & Hutch got involved in the big Teamster flair-up since his brother was tied to the region.
I just looked it up. What a cool name. They just became my second favorite NHL team.

The Kraken is a really stupid name. Sounds like a roller coaster. Shoulda just been the Dragons.
Not a fan. Another blue team in the NHL. Name stinks. Logo isn't bad, and the secondary anchor with the space needle is clever.
I bought a bottle once of the Kraken rum, just so I could have the bottle art. But that space needle anchor thingy is super duper cool in my opinion.
Ironically, there was a Seattle Dragons team that just recently competed in the XFL. I know someone’s trying to acquire all the rights to the league, names, etc. so perhaps that name was taken?
The secondary logo should be buildings Being set on fire by Antifa
The Zamboni can be unmarked black vans.
When a penalty is called storm troopers remove the players from the arena
Seattle does a great job with fitting team names to the region: Seahawks, Sounders, Mariners, Supersonics, Kraken, etc.
They had a sweet teaser video yesterday getting ready for the name release.
I love the name, logo is decent, and I'll have to wait to see the uniforms on the ice. As of now, they're meh. There were a lot of cool concept logos and uniforms. Here are a couple of my favorite:

I think you nailed it. Hockey jerseys can’t really be judged until you see them on the ice contrasted against the color of the ice and the opponents sweaters. I absolutely love the branding, but do think the jerseys lag a bit behind.Seattle does a great job with fitting team names to the region: Seahawks, Sounders, Mariners, Supersonics, Kraken, etc.

Nailed the name and color scheme. I like that they used green in the uniform. It represents Seattle as green is in the other professional sports teams from that city. There is so much they can do with The Kracken. They are the standard for new team names

The S logo is cool- the Nickname is stupid
It's not that the Kraken is from there but more that the Kraken is a sea monster.
The marketing VP got up and explained that the largest octopus ever found was in the waters of Puget Sound. No it isn’t a Kraken, but they played off that fact and made some cool branding and story telling around it.
Yeah
That’s a stretch
It’s just a bad nickname
Sockeye would be more appropriate
Sound - if ya want the alliteration and nods to both music history and puget.
Sea lions Or sea monsters more generally
I’d say using Sea Monsters as a team nickname with the same logo would have been a large improvement
David Soul is the brother of a priest whose Parrish was in Homestead and who got very involved in fighting for the rights of union members, some of whom were his parishioners.
Here is my question: You represent an area on the West Coast adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, and you select as your mascot a mythical Norse sea monster which in legend terrorizes the Atlantic Ocean and North Sea, half a world way from you. Why?
At least Minnesota had a legitimate reason for picking the Vikings: the large Scandinavian population in Minnesota.
