Cor RECT.

And I'm clearly far from alone in that opinion. The reveal is barely a few hours old and the team name, jerseys, and logos are already the laughing stock of the sports world. Getting absolutely shredded everywhere.

I'm seeing a massive amount of props for the name and uni's. We see what we want to see, probably applies here.

Then don't watch the team, it's real simple. Geezus. Stupid thing to get worked up about. If you're gonna' let the opinion of others dictate what you do, not sure what to tell you. So SOME people don't like it. Who gives a crap?

If you are seriously not seeing all the jokes, and pointing and laughing, then you were probably correct when you said "We see what we want to see, probably applies here." Right after "I'm seeing a massive amount of props for the name and uni's."

Hmmm seeing a lot of fans from other teams on the HF hockey boards saying they hit a home run with the name, colors,
Jerseys, and logos. To each his own I guess.

I love everything about it.

The theme, the colors, the secondary logo (which is one of the best in sports) , the in arena presentation that you will be able to do with this theme and the menacing red eye, the videos you can make when a pod of orcas come down from the BC coast, the inevitable squid being thrown on the ice, that the arena is sunken and the Kraken come from the depths. It's all so unique.

Reading about the world record massive squid near Tacoma, and how the S on the chest honors the Metropolitans it all ties together nicely.

Pumped to see Jonathan Quick, PK Subban, Tyler Johnson, TJ Oshie et all suit up in 2021!


The krak-head, krak-house puns will be worn out by dads over 50 in air monarchs in due time.

So steal a time honored tradition from Detroit of throwing a squid on the ice?

Your boys will come out of a squid tunnel to either of these clips:

Or maybe this

Can't believe the negativity here. I was for Kraken from the very start. I think it's a baddass name! And if nothing else, for the announcer on our home ice for player intros "RELEASE, THE KRAKEN!!!". I'll have goosebumps!!

Congrats, Krakhead. Will you be taking the krakpipe (highway 99 tunnel) to the krakhouse (Climate Pledge Arena) to listen to Krakrock during stoppages?

Yeah and SeaChickens and Seahags were what people were calling the Seahawks also along with making fun of our original Totem logo and saying there is no such thing as a Seahawk, remember all that, also we ripped off the Cowboys Uniforms.

Krakhead is MUCH worse. As if Seattle needs to be MORE associated with crack use.

I could see stuff like this happening also and the Team catching on to it and doing some of their own things

I never said I don't see all the jokes, there cant be both? :Dunno:
People can't have both opinions?

IMHO I'm seeing lots of props, you're seeing the name shredded everywhere. Again, I think we focus on what we want to see. No biggie.

The insults etc were always going to be there, were the 32nd team in, the new guys.

Some of ya'll need to thicken that skin up, and stop caring what opposing fans think. :Dunno:

We're much more of a heroin town. :D
