lilgump Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 As a seattlite. Hate the name. Love the branding. Logo is good not great. Secondary anchorneedle is great. I was expecting more modern crazy uniforms for a team names Kraken. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

DEAD! Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The Mariners wished they thought of the anchor logo. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to their website it's "Red Alert" so red.

colinturner95 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Amazing how they got away with a blue based jersey in a division with the Oilers and the Canucks. Can lump the Sharks in that group with their teal. Disappointed in the name, surprisingly pleased with the branding and jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaumatrope Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I agree with the consensus that this is one hell of a mixed bag. I wont rewrite everything that I put down on the other thread, but I'll just say that the Kraken name is deeply flawed. That being said, the branding is solid and I'm looking forward to seeing the secondary anchor/space needle popping up everywhere. The colors are unique while still being Seattle-esque, and different enough from Vancouver to not cause any confusion. My hope for the team a this point is that the branding is strong enough that everyone will forget how awful the team name is in the long run...that being said, ask Minnesota how that process is going. Welcome to the darkest timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelfourThibault Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I’m irrationally angry at this. I don’t even know what else to say other than I have no idea how a group of extremely smart people lock themselves in a room and decide on this Mickey Mouse bull****. It’s like when old people (I’m old too) try to be cool. This is an SPHL name/identity at best, and I have no idea how that’s not apparent to everyone involved in the decision making process.

heavybass Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Also I called the nickname too to be Kraken... and yet I don't get the credit. "Oh but Kraken is a bad name" So is Sockeyes and assuming the delay was to find a better colour scheme than the Salmon and Teal. The Double Blue and Red works.

The name is fine, and the uniforms and logos are spectacular. THIS. Thank you. SO tired of this community sh**ting on absolutely everything that every team ever does. Meanwhile, they'll go into the concepts thread and praise and drool over every sub standard uninspiring logo or uniform somebody creates here.

BBTV Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I wonder if they'll go with a Ice Blue alt, Shadow Blue alt, or Red Alert alt. F the names and whoever came up with them, but they're great colors.
