2019-2020 NHL Season Thread Hockey • Page 304

Hope the alternates have Cthulhu on them

 

Not a fan at all of the name or the jersey designs/colour combos, but the logo is pretty slick.

 

Damn I actually like all of this, nice job not fucking up NHL

 

Yeah. This is like the definition of drip. Cause like... water? You know?

 

Not a fan of the logo

Color scheme is excellent though

 

The jerseys are sweet

 

im v v excited for my shit to arrive and can't wait to order a jersey. loving everything so far. wish there was more salmon color and that color rips but hey, can't get it all

 

can we maybe not turn drug addiction into a joke?

I imagine a lot of people will still call it the "krak-house" anyways but hopefully people will push back on it cause its actually kinda gross

 

Salmon, you say? Don't you mean RED ALERT?

 

very original Greg Wyshinski

 

They nailed it.

 

Very excited to see the jerseys on players irl, they’ll look awesome

 

can't wait to order my Matt Grzelcyk Kraken jersey!!!

 

Jersey design is great, but the name is too "cool"?

It's also weird seeing a sports team that isn't plural

 

It's such a dumb name anyway...it's like echl level dumb.

 

lifelong seattle kraken fan checking in

 

How Seattle's NHL team became the Kraken
"Team president Tod Leiweke is fixated on running a fan-driven franchise -- "The fans are going to be involved in every decision," he told ESPN in 2019 -- so the team launched an interactive portal in May 2019 where anyone could offer suggestions. Team leaders also would periodically sit with a group of fans, show them some markups and ask for feedback.

"Dettmer said the team monitored a Seattle Times reader poll that garnered more than 146,144 votes. Though the Seattle Times' poll narrowed it down to Sockeyes and Totems as finalists, Kraken had a strong showing."

I realize that not every hockey fan in Seattle reads the Seattle Times, but this makes it pretty clear that it wasn't really at all a fan driven experience

 

I mean...there are others...

 

This leaves out the MLS too (Columbus Crew), though not every club in that league uses a "name" (ex. Toronto FC, Atlanta United FC, etc)

 

The kraken definitely have very mariners feels, that custom someone made of a return to the metros would’ve still been the best. Maybe they’ll have a new metros jersey as their retro.

 

I dig this, the logo is growing on me

 

Fan voting always ends in good results. Could've had the Seattle John Scotts
