I'd argue avalanches are pretty tangible, as you can have multiple avalanches. But Colorado players have never been called Avalanches, just Avs. I'm guessing we call them Kraks eventually.

I like it overall. Need to see the jerseys on the ice to know for sure though.
I remember really disliking the Golden Knights' jerseys when they were first shown with the sparkly gold trim, but then I came to really like their overall look when put together on the ice.
These are definitely less distinctive and adventurous than VGK's look though.

Built in sports headlines for the first big name let go from this team in the future "Player X Released From the Kraken"

The Kraken name is okay I guess. Reminds me of the Raptors being named for a pop culture reference instead of something relevant locally. Time will tell if it ages well.
The logo and jersey is fine. The colours with an anchor remind me of the Milwaukee Admirals.

The last two teams come off like Disney Park franchises/attractions more than pro sports teams.
It is more interesting than sockeyes though.

I like all the visuals, the design is pretty outstanding. Nice to see a unique color scheme too.
A little envious of the Seattle-ites that get to don those silks.
The Vegas designers should get a literal spanking from these guys while reciting "we are not worthy"

They're likely the exact same people. It's all from the Adidas branding team.

Can you explain? Salmon have been immensely important to the local economy and culture for thousands of years.

They need a cool third jersey with a savage looking Kraken with Flaming jellyfish coming out or something.
