The Kraken very clearly represent Seattle’s character as a city and its rich hockey tradition. (Dixononsports)
If the reaction on Twitter is a reliable representation of how the hockey world feels about the unveiling, the Kraken already have their first win. Though some dissenters chimed in, the overwhelming vibe was one of positivity.For 18 months, Leiweke said, Seattle’s executive group was taking the pulse of the region, looking for that perfect moniker and look. Ever since the NHL awarded the Emerald City the franchise in December of 2018, suggestions have poured in.
Though there was always a range of options — they could have simply brought back Metropolitans; the Seattle Totems got some love, while Seattle Sockeyes also seemed like a plausible fit — Kraken appeared to be imprinted on a lot of brains from the start.With its name and logo revealed, the club can turn its attention to the next big events on the calendar. General Manager Ron Francis still hasn’t found a coach for the club that will begin play in the 2021-22 season.
Though we won’t know for some time who will wear the Kraken uniform, we do know they’ll be wrapped in the city’s history and look beautiful in blue.
