Their chant would be sick tho. "Let's get kraken!"

I agree lol, never been a big fan. I'm coming around on Sockeyes and have always liked Emerald(s). Washington state has such a rich history and culture, I think Kraken, of all things, would be a missed opportunity (not that every team needs a regional symbol as their mascot, but I do tend to think it's cooler idk)

Only reason I like Kraken over Sockeyes is because two of your major rivals are going to be San Jose and Vancouver, they both have sea creatures, might as well follow suit! (Yes I know a sockeye is a fish, just no where near as cool as a kraken) Also the branding they could do would be super cool. I like more flashy names, so kraken excites me more than sockeyes. I’m hoping for kraken, but wouldn’t be mad about sockeyes.

I’m curious on what they are going to use. I’m guessing it’s going to be one of Sockeyes or Kraken though.

If they do Metropolitans I’m going to be disappointed. Yes, I know that that’s what they were called in the 20s, but there is literally a metropolitan division in the EASTERN conference, so it wouldn’t make sense. I would would much rather Sockeyes or Kraken. Sockeyes being the preference. I’ve seen a couple makeshift logos for Sockeyes, and they have been impressive

Their fan base would be the Krackheads

Personally, I'm against singular form names i.e. the Wild, the Lightning, and the Avalanche.
Don't know why... But, always felt like the name should be pluralized to identify the different members of the team -- as oppose to a singular title.
Maybe the "Seattle Krakens"?

I personally wanted them to just promote the Thunderbirds to NHL. Good logo, awesome jerseys, and a cool name.

Do you seriously care that much?

Honestly, this would make sense to me. Then you make the WHL team the Kraken!!!!

I care so much that I wrote one line about it on an Armchair GM post.

the best name is seattle rain city b i t c h pigeons

couldn't agree more. kind of like the VGK opening ceremonies or Carolina storm surge... cool the first few times, gets stale and cringy quick

you don’t want people to care about an nhl team? like the name is a big deal. simmer down buddy.

I'm high on Totems or another unique name like that over kraken but I can get behind kraken if thats what they choose

No ****! it's July and we haven't had hockey since March. He cares enough to post it, we care enough to comment

It's an obvious answer though right? Seattle Supersonics! Just take the color scheme and logo from the NBA team and repurpose. Im joking but a little serious

Also, Seattle Sirens would be very cool

If they do Seattle Cougars i’m going to cry

its all about the jersey design for me. I dont give a **** what theyre called as long as the jersey is cool

The name is the Kracken

This didn’t age well...

lol
