The bobblehead doll promotions will be the krak heads. The krakheads ohoh. They must all be on drugs to name them that.
Apparently that's the team name. I must say I'm not impressed, it's terrible. What is a kraken? Maybe they should have went with Kraken Heads?
Overall I like the name, logo, and jersey design. It's different than what we have across the league and I'm all for that.
they have the homonym between 'Knight' and 'Night'... And the nightlife is synonymous with the city.
I like it. Seems like a marketing dream.Apparently that's the team name. I must say I'm not impressed, it's terrible. What is a kraken? Maybe they should have went with Kraken Heads?
So why not the Seattle Super Squids then? LOL.A Kraken is like this mythological, mysterious sea creature that would sink ships. Usually it's portrayed as a giant squid.
I love the logo, the jerseys, I think they did an awesome job!
I like the name, "kraken" is both a cool word and a cool thing. Definitely unique.
I don't love the colors I'm seeing, but I'll hold off judgement until I see an actual real, fabric one. The contours of the jersey and how the light interacts with the fabric can add a lot. I absolutely hated the Knights jerseys when the mock ups were released, but they work much better in person.
I'm less than thrilled about the logo though. Woo, an S. It doesn't look remotely nautical. The "eye" isn't nearly enough.
You named your team after a squid monster. Let me see the squid monster.
The jersey design is different, but the colour scheme is practically the same outside of the red stripe and making the white more blue and the deeper blue more light. It's not much different than Columbus either.
It's not awful, but the fact that there is no green in there at all makes it a fail in my books. Seattle is one of the few cities where it makes sense to have that one factor to tie all of the teams together, since it is the Emerald City in the Evergreen State. Kraken is a mediocre name and that colour scheme has like nothing to do with Seattle other than them being on the water and having "Sea" in their name. Now they could add some other elements to make it differ from the Canucks, who also deploy a blue and green scheme, but they should have made it the Seattle Thunderbirds colour scheme and come up with a better name. Kraken just seems so juvenile for an NHL team, and it is not even witty like Vegas, since they at least they have the homonym between 'Knight' and 'Night'... And the nightlife is synonymous with the city.
Love it.I am crushed they didn't go with my favorite.....Raincity Bitch Pidgeons.
