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
Jersey design is great, but the name is too "cool"? It's also weird seeing a sports team that isn't plural
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
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.
