That's a crackalackin' shackalackin' odd name.

But I can see how Seattle management settled on the name of a fake sea monster.

And that shoulder patch anchor has the space needle integrated.

I gotta say the S is almost too plain but then again there’s nothing fancy about the Flames, Leafs, Habs, Bruins, Canes and Bolts logos either and they all seem to look fine.

I like their jersey. But isn't that light green called "Mint Green" or "Sea Foam" instead of "Ice".
Reminds me a little of the Minnesota Wild jersey.

The space needle in the anchor is a great idea. Overall a good logo and jersey.

As for the Kraken name, it's certainly no worse than Ducks, Devils, Flames and Wild.

I like the whole package for the Seattle Kraken. Nice jerseys. Good use of colors. A simple S looks great. And the name is a big winner in my opinion.

I do believe the potential for their alternate jersey is huge with a name like Kraken.
