Based on the color combination they've been test marketing I would lean heavily on the Sockeyes. Kraken was a "fan" uniform design. While it has provided interesting discussion, and a lot of smokescreen, I don't think its a good fit. But after hearing the name of the new old arena, anything is possible.

The nets, gloves, bibs, ropes. There is your color scheme which is what we have seen. I think it looks good unless it's a total swerve.

Seattle Reign is the best choice.

The only problem is the AHL club with the same name, but I'm sure the gazillionaire owners can compensate the AHL team.

"Kraken" would suggest a darker-coloured palette -- inky blues and greys (think H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulhu). The teaser video has a lot of salmon and seafoam hues.

The goal light in the video is not the standard red you see in the NHL. It's a bright salmon colour.

Sockeyes is good - related to trout!



Cutthroats would be a good name for a Calgary team.

Kraken would be great! There are so many jokes and insults using the word "crack".

Trout and Salmon are closely related.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trout

Quote:
Trout are closely related to salmon and char (or charr): species termed salmon and char occur in the same genera as do fish called trout (Oncorhynchus – Pacific salmon and trout, Salmo – Atlantic salmon and various trout, Salvelinus – char and trout).
