Krakens probably would have been an easier sell for some people. I dig the logos, and the jerseys look alright. The number outline of the blue jerseys probably should've been red, but it's solid. There is no Krakens. It's sheep, fish and kraken. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's all pick Michael Dukakis' best logos! (OK, I'll stop now - couldn't resist one more shot at an easy target.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 24,033 Posted July 25, 2020 I know, I’ve practically pleaded with Chris to let me help fix some of the worst errors. Oh, well. Still, primary logo designations from the past decade are one of the things the site is really good on. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cujo 4,771 Posted July 25, 2020 For those who love the name "Kraken" -- Would you feel the same about the name if the current Washington or Edmonton football teams adopted Kraken as their mascot? I mean, same thing, right? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, same thing, right? Are you (still not) aware of the situation in Washington regarding their football team – for the past 40 years? Textbook case of apples-and-oranges comparison intended? 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DNAsports 5,764 Posted July 25, 2020 Names like Kraken, Express, even Iron or any other plural nouns like that would all be a little weird to see in the NFL and even CFL. However, I wouldn’t mind either Edmonton or Washington choosing a name like those. It’s weird to see it as common in leagues like MLS, NBA, and now NHL, but nowhere in the MLB & NFL. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
