I'm very sure the salmon/green combo the fishermen have is a huge hint.And their color scheme is supposed to be announced, too.
That colorway is amazing.
Great catchThe space needle is part of the anchor logo too. Fucking amazing.
Ah, I didn't watch the video.I'm very sure the salmon/green combo the fishermen have is a huge hint.
Don't love the name- it's generic pop culture ocean and not all that tied to Seattle- but love the sweater.
It is widely known that the Kraken bathes in the Pudget Sound. And what is wrong with a generic name? It's cool and not offensive and awesome. Release the Kraken!Don't love the name- it's generic pop culture ocean and not all that tied to Seattle- but love the sweater.
I was a Sockeye supporter. I can live with Kraken, though, over some of the other trash I heard tossed out.It is widely known that the Kraken bathes in the Pudget Sound. And what is wrong with a generic name? It's cool and not offensive and awesome. Release the Kraken!
Like, so terrible.Sockeyes would have been terrible, sorry.
Sockeyes would be a debacle.I was a Sockeye supporter. I can live with Kraken, though, over some of the other trash I heard tossed out.
The ferry horn is great. I live right across from the terminal (I can see the ferry from my bed) and they get very blatty if I try and go to bed at a decent hour.
The name and uniforms of a franchise that we've known will be joining the NHL for months and months now has been released -- I imagine this will get a fair amount of activity over the next several hours and then die on the vine.How is this development not its own thread? It's like you people hate life or something.
I am very angry salmon else beat me to that.EDIT: I see now that salmon/green on the fishermen was a red herring.
What do you mean 'you people'?How is this development not its own thread? It's like you people hate life or something.
Besides, nicknames shouldn't reference hockey fightsLike, so terrible.
"Oh you're a hockey fan? Who's your team."
"The...Soc....uh, Seattle."
"HERE WE GO SOCKEYES HERE WE GO :resigned clapping"
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUUUUURRRRRRR SOCKEYES!!!!!"
It sounds like a euphamism for your butthole.
Yeah, that didn't work in Atlanta.Besides, nicknames shouldn't reference hockey fights
Wasn't it @kenneycb with the salmon shirt at a RMPS bash?I am very angry salmon else beat me to that.
I'm surprised that's taken this long to make it into the thread, since it's been all over Twitter for an hour or soThat saidKey Arena"Climate Pledge Arena" will definitely be colloquially called the Krakhouse.
Yeah, and I hate the trend of naming teams after non-physical objects, like Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, OKC Thunder, basically every WNBA franchise, etc. Seattle Krakens is amazing is great; unique but not too strange. Sweet logo and color scheme, it is pretty much perfect.Sockeyes would be a debacle.
The last NFL to get a new name named themselves the Texas Texans. The last baseball team to pick a name is the Washington Nationals. Talk about boring.
They just named a team THE KRAKEN. It's amazing.
Yeah, Krakhouse and the fans being called Krakheads is a given (and awesome).That saidKey Arena"Climate Pledge Arena" will definitely be colloquially called the Krakhouse.
The largest octopus in the world lives in the waters around the PNW.Don't love the name- it's generic pop culture ocean reference and not all that tied to Seattle- but love the sweater.
Are they playing at the old Key Arena? Unless it has been renovated substantially, and I am hoping it has been renovated, that would be terrible. It has the same problem the Barclay's Center had for the Islanders. The rink doesn't fit in the seating bowl.That saidKey Arena"Climate Pledge Arena" will definitely be colloquially called the Krakhouse.
