They fit the region. Kracken sounds like a team desperate to be cool.

Edit- Also, the fans would be called Krackheads, and the arena would be called the Krackhouse. No thank you.

Yeah the Sea Hags, Sea Chickens, Sea Nots, are all bad we should probably change the Seahawks to the Seattle Goldfinch.

That is a strawman argument. None of those have an inherent negative connotation. We don't need to make it easy for other teams to make fun of us.

LOL you people care about what others say is stating a lot about insecurities, why things are so messed up these days oh they hurt my feelings I need to file a lawsuit because I am irreparably damaged because of it.

I don’t want the name Kraken, but your post is making me like it more. 8)
Who wouldn’t want to be a Krackhead in the Krackhouse?

This league also had a team called the mighty ducks named arguably after some of the worst movies ever made...it could be a lot worse. At least you wont be exposed to the glow puck and laser beam shots as well. It is better than the sockeye...

Largest Octopus in the World is in our back yard, that kind of fits the region.

Exactly.

How does that not fit our region? :2thumbs:

What's up with the North Pacific Giant Octopus references? Everyone knows the Kraken was supposed to be a giant squid.

Octopus = tasty.
Squid = tasty.
Octopus != Squid.

It goes back and forth. Earlier writings and paintings tend to refer to the Kraken as more Octupus like. With the discovery of the Giant Squid though I think it's easier for people now to wrap their minds around that because we've already found and proven it exists, so more recently people just assumed it to be a squid. Originally it wasn't though.

Kraken is a hell of a lot better than the sockeye or steelhead. 2 stinky fish, who aren't scary at all.

The name Kraken evokes a limp, gelatinous blob of raw squid, displayed at the local fish market on a bed of crushed ice.

And what fans will toss on the ice during future losing streaks.

Not my first choice.

I still think Kraken is stupid. It's edge-lord stuff to want a name that's "intimidating."

My favorites I've seen so far are:
- Seattle Freeze
- Seattle Totems
- Seattle Metropolitans

LOL I hadn't even thought of this. Maybe they should choose Kraken for the future memes.

Or the Seattle Freeze..... terrifying. Just think, people brushing off your invites to go get coffee or drinks. Could be quite damaging to your feels.
