So when is the name going to be announced? I thought it was going to be the All star break. Beginning of the upcoming season? How early before the VGK joined did they announce their name?
Edit: it looks like Vegas announced their team name in November the year before they began play, so it seems likely that if hockey resumes this fall that they would do it at that point.
Kraken wasn't good anyway
Oh, I guess I thought off the table meant otherwise lol.It's still the most likely name with Sockeyes most likely the other option.
PLEASE!!! PLEASE let it be Battle Cattle!
Can someone fill me in on the fascination with Kraken?
The most obvious would be Sockeyes, and while everyone is bitching about it on social media now, a few months after the name is out people will move on from it.
Twitter wasn't around when the rest of the league named their teams. Can you imagine all the bitching and moaning then? And we got used to the names.
Everything is under a microscope now because of social media.
I think it's dumb, and my family I visit often in Seattle think so as well.

You can't judge the full fanbase just by what we see on the internet though.
You could always make "Kraken" the name of the mascot. Kraken the Sockeye?
Totems or Evergreens aren't going to happen. Sockeyes and Steelhead have naming right issues which could be worked out at
some cost. Still think it will be Kraken, While many can say the name has nothing to do with Seattle, there are a tons of possibilities
as far as the logo, colors, themes for all aged fans. Remember the owner. Bruckheimer is going to want to do something bigger than what Vegas did.

That’s the theory I sitting on too. I can live with that.I don't mind either but I'm leaning towards Sockeyes.
Last week Ron Francis also said in his interview again that they're still in the process(Logo, Name, colour scheme etc.) to make sure everything is right and any possible legal things are dealt with.
I'm not sure what legal stuff you'd have to deal with naming it Kraken, so I believe Sockeyes might actually be the choice and they're working out the legal stuff(author of those novels) that might need to be dealt with.
Yeah, I think Kraken is awful. It sounds like an indoor arena football team or something. Weak. Sockeyes is awesome. We would get hopefully get some salmon color in the jersey and it actually suits the city. But I know it's pretty split. A lot of people hate the name Sockeyes as well.I think it's dumb, and my family I visit often in Seattle think so as well.

I love to eat salmon. I prefer my sockeye smoked as lox on a bagel and I love to barbeque with teriyaki and soy rub. Crispy on the outer and tender on the inner. For these reasons I don't want the team name to be a fish. A shark is ok but you might as well call the team the Trouts if your going to name it after a fish. How about the goldfish? In all reality the team name can wait another season as this stadium ( as I have mentioned before ) is no where near being completed on time.
