Give Me The Seattle Kraken

I have been pretty adamant that I want the new NHL franchise that is coming to Seattle to be named the Kraken for some time now, but after seeing these recent jersey concepts, I think I’m fully sold. @KP8Design released the new jersey concept on twitter last week and I’m completely enamored with these jerseys. They are awesome and Seattle should have hired this guy yesterday.

The Kraken would be one of the most badass logos in all of professional sports. What is a Kraken you ask? It’s described as an enormous mythical sea monster. Would you want to fuck with an enormous mythical sea monster? Because I certainly wouldn’t.

I think there are definitely a few problems you could run into with the name Kraken. I’m guessing the KeyArena would be referred to as the ‘KrackDen’ or the ‘Krack House’. Would that even be a problem though? Or does it just mean everyone in the Arena is fired up? 20 years ago it would of flied, but not sure if that will today.

Regardless, give me the Kraken. You’re telling me if it is between the Totem and the Kraken people would actually pick the Totems? Not in this America. I’d probably stop watching hockey for good if people called them the Seattle Totes. I feel like most people don’t know or care what a Totem is.

It’s pretty obvious what the color scheme will be for Seattle’s new team. It would be kind of funny if they just threw a complete curveball and did like purple and yellow colored jerseys because basically the entire world is expecting blue and green.

At the end of the day, these jerseys are awesome. I don’t know how you could be the owner of this team and see these and not immediately think about the billions you could make in Kraken merch. Take my advice, Seattle. Do the right thing. Give the people the Kraken.
