Instead of white towels like the Canucks have, their fans will wave soft foam "tentacles."

I like the colors. The deep blue is classy and timeless IMO.

The anchor logo is very nice, with the space needle incorporated is genius.

I just can't stop seeing a seahorse with the main logo.

[Lanny_McDonald]

Meh. I'm sure it will grow on people. Well done Seattle.

[Zulu29]

Wow, I’m impressed! I thought for sure they’d do some cartoonish squid head thing for their logo but I was wrong. Jerseys look great as well, can’t wait to see them live. Well done Seattle, I look forward to the Flames crushing your dreams on the ice soon!

? It dwells in northern waters, Seattle would still qualify.

If the mythical beast Kraken was an actual being, no doubt it's species would inhabit all global oceans at significant depths.

Looks good

Seattle has a very healthy and talented design community. To me this tells me that the organization invested in having qualified people do the work.
The Flames have short-changed this historically and it often shows in the work.
Which is a shame because there are amazing designers in this town that could really improve the identity and branding of the Flames.

So Nice!

Their team store isn't loading up. Guessing they are going to do really well with merch over the years

And just like my favorite game world of warships, you get a Kraken Unleashed badge every 5 ships you kill.

KWAKEN!

I hate the name, but everything else is fantastic. So I cannot complain.

People seem to be loving these. I feel they could have done better. Wouldn’t call them bad by any means, but Kraken had some seriously cool potential and I feel a bit underwhelmed.

Jerseys evolve over time. This is a solid foundation to start from.

I really like it. I think I would have preferred a bright shade of green instead of the red, but really good overall.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

I think they hit a homerun here. Thing I least like are the colours but no getting away from those here in Seattle.

[CalgaryFan1988]

Their fans will be known as krack heads.

It would make it really similar to the Seahawks if they did that though.

I think they knocked it out of the park with the branding and name.

[dammage79]

Shane Wrights gonna look pretty good in that Jersey.

[agulati]

Really like the name and the logo.

[t0rrent98]

primary logo looks alright. not a fan of the wordmark logo.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Oliver Kylington will like Seattle.
