It’s gonna be the Sockeye. Main color green with white and “salmon” accents.
I was hoping for Kraken but the people with much more money than I have make those decisions.
The only place where such a decision was “made” was an unofficial Seattle Times poll.
The official web site doesn’t even use the colors you mentioned; it does include a salmon-ish pink but also black and white.
There are salmon, green, and white mockups of the colors but those are speculations. There has been no announcement about a name or colors.
I was gonna go with “Seattle Downpour” but I like yours better.
My entry into the name the team contest was the Seattle Cohos. Could be called the “Ho’s” for short.
The Sockeyes will be funny when one of them gets a black eye from fighting.
I kinda like the Seattle Lights (the whole spacecraft thing).
I think the Kraken will be sunk due to the aforementioned drug-related connotations.
And especially how crack is associated with Black people. ‘We’re not chanting crackhead, we’re chanting Kraken.’ I could just see that racial slur being used against black players. It wasn’t too long ago that someone tossed a banana at Wayne Simmonds. I’ve been to a lot of hockey games and never seen bananas on sale at the concession stand so someone did it on purpose.
The Seattle Kraken it is!
That logo is bad-ass. That video is cheesy as hell yet still manages to be totally bad-ass. I’m in!
Wow, that was awesome.
I’m glad they recognized that it wasn’t just the best of the bunch, it’s an awesome name.
Isn’t the plural of kraken kraken?
“There’s a bunch of kraken out there!” sounds better than “There’s a bunch of krakens out there!” to my ears.
They so very much need to serve deep-fried calamari at their games, as well as (of course) Kraken rum.
Just watching some sports news, and the most recent item had to do with the Seattle Kraken. It seems that yes, Kraken Rum will indeed be a sponsor.
The “one day to go” hype video they released yesterday was BADASS. They’re gonna use the ferry horn as the goal sound and nothing makes me happier.*
*Except if they bring my beloved Sonics back.
I sure hope that they have a mascot that looks like Cthulhu.
Me too; that’ll give me one college and one pro jersey featuring Cthulhu!
For the record, mine is #86, Danforth. 
I love Geeky Jerseys! I have three of their Star Wars-themed jerseys, but I really love that Miskatonic design.
