completely agree on the green aspect -- I want more green in the NHL - blue is overused.

at least the main blue in the logo is unique to them - no one else has an ice blue.

I wasn't a fan of the Kraken name originally, but the logo and jerseys are sleek af and won me over.

I love it. Name is pretty cool but the jersey and logo are incredible (love the tentacle hidden in the logo). Alternate logo is also awesome with the space needle hidden in the anchor.

Ive always thought Anchors are a weird choice for logos.... They're built to work on the bottom and drag you down. Why would you wanna carry that around?

I think the name is really stupid, but that's exactly why I love it. You don't build a good brand by naming yourself the "Cougars" or "Bulldogs" or whatever, you pick a fun, intense name that grabs attention.

All of that said, the goofy name is paired with what is already one of the sleekest logos in the league with a jersey that matches the feel of the logo. Though I personally think the jersey needs a lot of work. Not enough red highlight.

Altogether, I like it!

I wonder what color the gloves they go with -- what if they go for red gloves? Could be a good way to bring in that pop of red that you're looking for

I would agree, before I saw the jersey, but damn t’ose are nice. I love the hint of red, it just makes it look so good.

I agree, these jerseys are solid. I think they did a better job than Vegas did with their first jersey.

I like the name and logo but the jerseys arent my favourite. It looks kinda bland, especially at the bottom. Reminds me of CBJ jerseys. They couldve added a cool wave pattern to the bottom to fit the theme (kinda like what the Avs tried to do with a mountain on the bottom, but they could make it look better)

It definitely feels like a "safe" choice -- but they did a good job on it. I would've preferred going with a green color scheme other than blue since there are already so many blue teams, but I think they did a fine job with it.

yeah safe is a good word to describe it. Theres definitely potential for a very 'out-there' 3rd jersey with a green colour scheme and crazy octopus logo

Couldn't agree more. This might not be a popular opinion but VGK completely ****ed up their branding. The team name sucks ass and their jerseys are some of the worst in the league. Their best jersey are the whites and they top out at just okay.

Seattle's name is alright but they have nice jerseys and a good logo. 100x better than Las Vegas.

I like the name and jersey, but the logo is not made for hockey. It reminds me of some esport team logo.

I think the red could've been yellow. Still pretty cool. Def. better and more original than VGK, imo.

Nice Uni.
No calamari on the rink menu however; just sushi'd opponents.

I don’t see the issue. The last 3 expansion teams have had logos mixing 2 things together: CBJ with the “CBJ” and the star & hockey stick, MIN with the wilderness and the bear, and VGK with the helmet and the “V”.

I love it! I would have gone with Emeralds, but Kraken was probably my second choice, and the jerseys are amazing!
