I don't like it. Octopuses are gloopy and have no backbone and they slither.
They should have picked the Seattle Sasquatches! Or the Seattle Kodiaks! Or the Seattle Coastals!
"Seattle Kraken"

You should have a higher opinion of yourself than that.
As you notice, other people also get bothered by you derailing posts.
glamphotographer:
How the Seattle Krakken thread became political. SMH.
I simply pointed out how it got started, post #7. You cannot deny that it was your post. In all honesty, it is just a rude thing to do. Other people wanted an intelligent discussion on the team's name.
BTW, you still didn't tell us what G8 has to do with the name Seattle Krakken.
Other members and I had a meaningful, intelligent and rational discussion on the quality of life in to-day's Seattle. Slurp and I have actually been to Seattle so we know of what we speak. BBL said he saw a doc on the decline of Seattle.
Anyway, nothing we said affects your life so curious why you seem so upset about it.

I am not the only one who thinks derailing threads is inappropriate.
Again, what does any of that have to do with the name Krakken? I would appreciate the courtesy of a direct response to my valid question. If you have a valid answer as to what link G8 protests has to do with the naming of the new NHL team, I will make a public apology.

Lol. So - you have to figure this is a slimy creature, but funny thing about that:
The Seattle Kodiaks would likely be popular in my age group. At least it sounds like a plural noun.
... but when they did their test marketing they used focus groups of 12 to 18 year olds, because marketers told them this will be their target demographic for merchandise sales over the next 10 to 20 years. So Kraken it is.
The Raptors did the same thing - Jurassic Park was popular and the initial logo tested well with kids in 1993 - it's remained successful even though adults at the time thought it was corny.
The Raptors owner said to the designer: "I want you to make the McHappy Meal of basketball jerseys..." and so it was done.
I'm curious where your information came from.
Last year, The Economist listed Seattle the 4th most livable city in the United States, based on 5 broad factors: culture and environment, infrastructure, health care and education. Also on "stability" (2019) which shows the protests are of recent onset and likely related to having a white supremacist and extremely weak leadership in the White House the last 3 1/2 years, a situation soon to be resolved.
Curiocity Seattle - Get the most from your city
With a curated slate of what matters in your city, Curiocity presents you with the most relevant local food, experiences, deals, and adventures.curiocity.com
Every major centre has tent cities. They're in specific areas and police correctly try to not create a larger problem by moving them.
How about the Seattle Slews? Then a horse on skates as the logo. That or the Seattle Double Lattes. Sorry can't quite warm up to Kraken. Maybe it's my generation but never liked team names that did not end with an "s". Fire, power, spirit, storm....jeez join MLS and leave rhe real pro sports alone lol.
Yeah!
Now, let me check out how the Jazz, White Sox, and Lightning are doing.....(there are others).
Sox is a plural noun, ffs!
Maybe naming teams for garments should come back into fashion. The Seattle Black Underwears? The Seattle Brown Shirts for some of our more right-inclined members?
You said you didn't like team nicknames that don't end with 's'.
Last I checked, 'x' is not the same as 's'.
Don't like those examples?
Avalanche, Heat, Thunder, Magic, (there's still more!)
Works for me. Their motto could be "Straight up the middle and into the crease!" or "Works his way into the slot!"
Then Thongs would be too much.
As for other names that don't end in "S", there is Dynamo, Spartak.
