Still wondering if all these games are like when the playoffs comes which makes the nhl gamecenter pretty useless. But yeah that amount of games in one day after all this time sounds like xmas to me.

Seriously? He's one of the best in the business... where is he going? Can't imagine the person they replace him with being anything other than a (major) downgrade.

Personally not a fan of the jerseys. They look a little to close to the generic jerseys you get when you create an EA Sports expansion franchise
Think Seattle killed it. The reveal was great, cool nickname, great color scheme... solid. Those uniforms, especially the home ones, will look great on the ice.

Someone pointed out that the “S” logo looks like the S kids used to draw with the 3 lines back in elementary and middle school and I can’t unsee that now

The name is easily the best in the entire NHL. Couldn't have chosen a better one. The logo is very good although would have loved something more aggressive but like the idea behind that S looking like some oceanic monster. Jerseys are fine but not quite up to the level of logo and name. Wanted something more original. Overall I'd say they've done a respectable job in picking a right color scheme and name.
Great reveal video(s), cool logo, didn't step too much on the toes of our neighbors to the North. Seattle having a crack problem is not great for potential nicknames, which just means their marketing dept. needs to get ahead of messaging. Almost all the people I have spoken to like the logo, name, and video (including skeptical folks in Seattle). And for those Caps folks on the West Coast, a Seattle and Vancouver b2b is very achievable (couple hours drive difference).
Also, if somehow Oshie ends up there, there needs to be an Oshie's 11 fan club.

From my reading it appears that ownership didnt offer him a contract. He is working for NBC only for now. My guess is that with Rick Peckham retiring after the playoffs, Forslund will end up in Tampa
That was my favorite name choice so that is cool. Logo on the jersey is nice also not totally sure about the secondary colors though.

Exactly; different in a cool way, also relevant and found ways to tie it to the city. Well done.
Kraken? Oooooookay...
The "S" logo is uninspired. There are so many cool ways to have an imposing tentacled monster holding hockey sticks, etc., that to just use an "S" is about the most pedestrian choice out there. It's "s"afe, I guess, and in today's climate maybe that's the best you can hope a corporation can do. Maybe they can change it to an "L" if they don't follow the "Golden Knights Miracle First Season" plan...

I was a fan of the way the S wound around the Space Needle in this concept art. Was hoping they'd go in a similar direction.
Ultimately the logo and design is solid. Jerseys should look nice, kinda bummed not to see a real life one in the video. And finding out the Space Needle is still incorporated into the secondary logo anchor is cool (kinda like the Capitol/Washington Monument in the Weagle).

thats exactly why I like it. New but basic and they stayed away from a cartoon character with a stick. This isn’t HS

This stuff is heavily researched and market tested. The market must like it. Its their metro and their team. I dont like it but i dont really like Seattle either. Still flashing back to the Seattle Supersonics

I’m just surprised they didn’t incorporate green into the color scheme. Green has always been a color used in branding for all their teams (Sonics, Seahawks, Sounders). There’s also not a lot of green in the NHL color schemes besides Dallas and Minnesota. Guess they just wanted to stand out a bit with their personal branding in the city
