Release The Kraken

Unread post by sfpcc »

The NHL's new Seattle Franchise will be known as the Seattle Kraken. For those not up on Greek Mythology, (or haven't seen Clash Of The Titans) the Kraken was the sea monster that was slain by Perseus. It's an interesting nickname but it also sounds a little like an Arena Football Team.

The S kind of looks like both the Suzuki and Seattle Mariners logo. I agree that the Space Needle logo is cool.
