Comedy Kraken Jokes in Seattle

Seattle's COO, Victor de Bonis: "It's like anything. If you put the time in, and you think through it properly, you listen to the fans of what they feel is important to them with their team, and you line those things up and do the right amount of work, you'll pick the right name. And it might not feel like the right name when it comes out, but as it evolves, and over time, and when the puck drops that first game ... we've failed if you're not excited about the entire situation with that team."


Sounds like someone is leaning towards the Kraken!!

I don't know Kenny, those cougars in Prince George might have something to say about that name.

Or the university. Cougars and Rainiers have to be off the table because the names are taken in the state.

I love the idea of Jagr playing with Seattle for their inaugural season.

Personally, I'd go with the Seattle Emeralds.

Emerald city, green, and sounds good IMO.

I don't mind that name - Just like the nickname for the Tampa Bay Lightning are the Bolts, the nickname for the Emeralds could be the Gems.

So why is everyone so focused on Blue/Green/yellow?

I mean, Seattle's own "Return to Hockey" announcement was heavy on Red and Black...

If they go with the Kraken and I was the PR guy, I would head all my announcements with the following:

PRESS RE...ANNOUNCEMENT (Sorry, we have to be careful with the "R" word around here)
