Account name squatting sucks, but that account has existed since 2013, (though it doesn't mean his account name was always @seattlekraken the entire time) and the guy wrote a Medium "article" back in 2014 saying Seattle needs an NHL team and it should be called Kraken, so maybe he does deserve something if the Kraken want the @. A few minutes of sleuthing tells me that SeattleKrakenNHL and Seattle_Kraken are unclaimed. I think the team would've used one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridleylash Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The easy solution is just "@NHLKraken", since that's what a bunch of other team handles are; unfortunately, someone has that one, too, because Twitter is a cesspool where every potential handle is claimed by some idiot trying to either fool people or extort money from companies.

Yep!...Adidas sure kicked MY ass. I've been on vacation, so I'm a little late to the party. I just swung by to say kudos to Seattle NHL for having the balls to go with the big, bold, unique (although somewhat risky) Kraken... And congrats to the Adidas gang for a great job in pulling off a tricky identity. Very well done! *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's ideal, but I really can't muster up many tears for the corporation that just plunked down 650 million dollars on a hockey team. Twitter is a cesspool for countless other reasons first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are them. They aren’t a placeholder. It’ll be well into next year before the retail product finally arrives because they were just finalized not long before the unveiling, but that’s what they’ll look like.

What's the plan for the pants?... Plain?... Striped?... There’s a rendering of the home uniform that was released with the unveiling. Plain shorts, and yes the striping pattern is carried over to the socks. They mentioned teams “owning” their unique stripe patterns, and being able to use them as another logo. I’ll see if I can dig out the pic. Edit: here ‘tis. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I used to live in downtown Seattle and -- caveat, prior to uniform launch -- so no evidence of NHL Seattle enthusiasm. Now I live outside of the city in the suburbs, and yesterday at Costco, I amazingly saw far more Kraken gear on random people than any other Seattle sports team. Given it's Seahawks season, I found that pretty remarkable. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newness factor also probably plays a big role; the Kraken are the big new team in town, so naturally a lot of people will be excited for them and rep their gear.

The Senators' logo (the new one - the updated old one - you know what I mean) is probably somewhere in the middle for me. Maybe slightly in the bottom half, but nowhere near the worst. I actually think its quite nice. The Kraken logo is too new, but I think it will probably end up around the middle as well, maybe a little bit higher but not too high. It doesn't really feel like a hockey logo to me - it looks like a cool energy drink brand aimed at teenagers. But like I said it's new and that might change. I still think it's a good logo.
