The New Seattle NHL Team Name...

Allegedly, the new Seattle NHL team name has been chosen and it’s the Seattle Kraken. Personally, I was hoping for Seattle Steehead or Seattle Sockeye.



Go Kraken?

The name Kraken isn't official.

Theres still hope for a fish name!

Between Kraken and Steelhead they probably chose to go with the one more likely to actually be encountered in this area

I was really pulling for the Seattle Freeze. This area really needs some self deprecating humor.

I like "sockeye" a lot. Very appropos for a hockey team.

Kraken is cool, but it's singular, which seems wrong... Or is kraken the same for plural?

 

[Peyton00]

Kraken.....they can do better.

I vote for the new name to be truly representative of the Seattle culture.

So, I suggest:

-The Scraggly Man Buns
-Left-Lane Priuses
-The Vegans
-The Homeless

If they go with 'Kraken', I hope they feature an image from the best movie featuring the kraken, 'Clash of the Titans' (1981).

Personally I think Kraken may be the worst name in professional sports. I am a big fan of Seattle Totems.

Isn’t that Crackin’ like the drug Crack...? Seems appropriate for Seattle...

I am a big fan of Seattle Totems.

Sounds a bit wooden to me.

Go Kraken?

Seattle Sockeye is already the name of Seattle’s world famous ultimate frisbee club. Not that they’d likely be willing to defend their team name from the hockey players if it came down to hand-to-hand combat, though
