I like how the red contrasts the rest of the logo and uniform. Very similar to what San Jose currently does, with the orange on the Sharks eye, along with very subtle orange striping.

I like the Logo but to me it seems more like a shoulder patch, not a primary.

Reminds me of the Tennesse Titans, which still look and feel like an XFL team to me.

The problem with the Titans' branding is it's still the most 2002 thing I've ever seen. They haven't changed it and they probably should.

In the end it doesn't matter what the arena was gonna be called, they will forever be playing their home games in the Krak House.

sockeyes would have been a timeless name. instead we get a name picked by 12 year olds because of a movie quote from liam neeson and a brand of rum.
"RElEaSE ThE KrAkeN!!11!!!"
So tacky and tastless.

It's so obvious, I can't see how it could be otherwise.
Like the logo right out of the gate, even if it is a bit "baseball". I mostly like that they didn't try to do too much - neither the main logo nor the shoulder patches are over-designed. Someone on their design team must have checked out the Calgary tower alternative logo design...
All in all, I like what they've done. I would have preferred Sockeyes as a name, but can't fault them for what they've created with the name they chose.
But the crack puns... those'll be a thing for a while.

So, obviously we don't know when Bettman will revoke the franchise but I assume it's before next season?
How stupid do you have to be? You get told it's Rain City Bitch Pigeons or no franchise and you still go with a name as awful as "Kraken"? You're mandated to take this amazing, awesome name and you #### it up. Typical Seattle imo.

It's awful, just instantly out of date. That's kind of how I feel about Vegas and now Seattle, but mostly because of the wordmarks and lettering. The logos are ok and Seattle's jersey isn't bad, but it just screams "now" to me and I think it'll age poorly.
If they were going with a bold name like the Kraken, I really wish they would've gone with a more interesting logo like the fisherman logo in NY. The S is a weird middle ground between "timeless" and "overtly modern." It'll grow on me though, I'm sure.
I think Sockeyes would have been better. GIVE ME THE FISH!

I think the Golden Knights will age better than the Kraken. This one does feel like it might be ripe for a change in 10 years. But they did a good enough job with the uniforms that I feel like it might be ok.
