Just my own preference, but I prefer simple and clean to some cartoony-octopus that looks like it's a fetal alcohol baby. I'm imagining Buffaslug 2.0 - eichiefs9
I agree cartoony would have been corny but they could have done something similar to the House Greyjoy logo from Game of Thrones, that would have been pretty cool! |

That’s what I was kind of thinking as well. This one just doesn’t scream bada$$ the way a team named the kraken should |

I love the name, logo and colours....
The "S" has a tentacle in it, and the bright red eye is cool. I hope the road jerseys will be Ice Blue and not white.
The anchor has the Space Needle in it.
As for plain and boring, they have left the door wide open in terms of special jerseys and/or 3rd jerseys down the road. Plus, it leads one to wonder what the Kraken will look like?
Now they need to market a hat or headpiece for fans to wear to the games... if the fans will be called Krak-heads, might as well have Krakens on their heads... kinda like the Cheeseheads in Green Bay. |

Name is awful. Aesthetics are ok. But I think the more you go into focus-groups the less credibility you have as a specific area and what makes you who you are.
Tonight! Blackhawks vs. The Kraken!
I hate it so much.
Really think they should have used the provincial & unique Sockeyes.
Whatever. |

Devils. As in the Jersey Devil. Myth says he’s in the pine barrens of NJ, but has never been seen. - Crushers68
At least that was associated with the area.

Perhaps sockeye was too tame/timid? The only other team named after a fish are the Sharks.
What exactly is a Kraken anyway? |

The Giant Pacific Octopus is the largest octopus species in the world.. so it is specific to the area.
Though Sockeyes would have been suitable too.

That clears it up. I bet it would kick any sockeye's ass. |

I think that’s a large part of it. Their list of trademarked names were mostly plain or boring. The fans latched onto kraken for how out there it was and even if the organization was undecided at the time it was the choice that at least drew excitement.
Also I’m sure after what Vegas has managed to do, it would make sense to somewhat copy the gimmicky model that draws people in. |

On another note, is there any predictions as to what will happen if they ever play Detroit in a playoff series and someone throws a squid on the ice |

Ceci is more in demand than Carol Baskin.
First day of UFA a high ranking league executive says "(frank). We missed out on signing Pietrangelo. But at least we can still sign runner up prize Cody (frank)ing Ceci!" |
