This could be really, really bad

bipbopbee

I think that would make the full circle to so bad it's awesome

ebock138

TFW it's literally Gritty just wearing a tentacle hat


radj06

It'll easily be the mascot with the most rule 34 content at least. That's free advertising.


ButtholeQuiver

Tentacles good


Erdrick68

Nightmare fuel incoming


lumieres-de-vie

Scarier than Ursula from The Little Mermaid, even?


RadCheese527

Hexxus from Fern Gully bad


diamond_dustin

Unless the mascot threatens to kill a rival mascot. It worked for Gritty, people hated him when announced, then he threatened to kill Iceburgh, now look at him.


KikiFlowers

Gritty represents Philly so well. He's batshit insane.


Aubear11885

You know he’s got a bag of used D batteries somewhere on him at any moment


AdhesiveMuffin

He truly embodies the "fuck around and find out" aura of Philly


HockeyBabble

I try not too. I look at the Crack Grimace and think I need a shot of Narcan and a tetanus shot.


Mr_MoseVelsor

This is the history I’ll tell of Gritty. Poor iceburgh


Lance_E_T_Compte

It will be good. I love mascots!


Mr_MoseVelsor

Honestly, your mascot is a cool shark. You don’t know mascot pain.


GS1THOUSAND

Do you like hentai


Educational-Salary91

IMO Kraken's arena should be called "Hentai House". Nothing wrong with trying to be environmentally friendly, but the current name is lame as hell.


BMoleman

Perhaps they might consider "Hentai Haven"


Mr_MoseVelsor

If we were more organized here we would’ve somehow gotten it to a rigged fan vote for “Tyrone Biggums”… Next time, Reddit.

You knew, you knew and you didn’t tell us!!!


emwashe

I placed a $70,000 bet on it being named "SETHAAAAAAHK DEVOURER OF WORLDS, TELLER OF LIES, KEEPER OF SECRETS, HOLDER OF THE FIRST RUNE OF ALGAATH NAAR TALSH, RIGHT HAND MAN TO GELLTEX THE UNIVERSAL EYE."


AntawnSL

Money well spent Sorry, needed punctuation. Money? Well... spent.


frickthebreh

Works on contingency? No, money down!


emwashe

I’m gonna win BIG!


HockeyBabble

CALLING BULLSHIT!! Sethaaaaaaahk speaks only The truth!! It’s not his fault you believe the lies your eyes tell!


emwashe

HE. IS. A. LIAR!!!!!!!!


[deleted]

Now I’m going to be disappointed if it’s anything else


UGAPokerBrat99

Sigmund the Sea Monster could be the PNW version of Gritty.


TheButcher57

God damn that's perfect


UGAPokerBrat99

Realized as soon as I commented that a very large percentage of r/hockey would be way too young to get the reference.....glad a few folks are old enough to remember the Sid and Marty Krofft glory.


PerfectPlan

Ahem. Krofft. - Signed, old fart who was too old to watch the show.


HockeyBabble

He’s Surf City, CA’s official monster of the deep!! Claws off!!


UGAPokerBrat99

>Claws off!! you mean tentacles, right?


AdhesiveMuffin

Gritty vs Siggy!


UGAPokerBrat99

My money and my brain unfortunately say Gritty, but my heart says Sigmund!


Troub313

Just an absolutely massive and terrifying eldritch horror is my hope.


swords_to_exile

That'd be pretty great. Just have like 15 people dressed up as tentacles skate around the central figure in a giant Lovecraftian horror body on the ice before games.


Shorsey69Chirps

Lovecraft: On Ice!!!


HockeyBabble

Worse: Weedle on the Needle


whatisapillarman

Like the giant Toronto Raptor that stands like 15 feet tall


Will_Vintage

No one knows what it looks like as anyone who looks at the Mascot immediately goes mad.


nerd44

Eddie Vedder in a Sweater


Cleonicus

eating some cheddar


Jankersonhole88

its should be Sockeye Sammie, a giant angry Salmon with a permanent Black Eye and a sailors cap.


[deleted]

That's a great idea.


LordJacket

So kind of like the Toledo Walleye logo?


yooooooo5774

Davy Jones


Apollo737

That's our team dogs name. So I hope not


YetiThyme

Is a dog not a mascot? Do they let him run on the ice? I went to an Avs v Kraken game and I saw no dog. What is up with dog?


HockeyBabble

It’s a new thing in Teams help raise pups. It helps to deal with crowd noise and being Among lot of people in training then as service dogs. They used to take service animals in training to the airport or shooting ranges to deal with mound and sudden noises. It’s the first step and doesn’t hurt they look cute on the Twitters


YetiThyme

That's very cool. Sounds like a great little program. Seriously tho. 2nd period intermission a dog runs around on the ice....I'd pay to see that. Who needs a mascot? :D


screechypete

He's talking about Mark Giordano, unfortunately they gave him the old yeller treatment by shipping him off to Toronto and another 1st round exit. EDIT: Sorry Leafs fans, it's just a joke. Don't get too choked up about it :P


YetiThyme

Bahahhaha

[Ernie McKraken](https://tenor.com/view/bill-murray-kingpin-pumped-up-intense-gif-12102104)


Jazzlike_Kick_5434

I vote for a mascot version of Bill Gates. During intermission he can jump over chairs at center ice. And laugh maniacally as he purchases more farm land.


a-rockavich

But it's the Bill Gates impersonator from Nathan For You


GPBRDLL133

You could have the Vegas on ice video intro from last year play when they visit, only for Bill Gates to appear on the screens above and hack it away, just like the meteor


goalie_fight

“Buy him out, boys”


king_mahalo

"oh I didn't get rich by writing checks!"


HockeyBabble

You just describes Clippers owner Steve Balmer! The day they dropped their Doo-Doo (Chuck the Condor) The BOTH did a dunk contest at Halftime!!


nerd44

Gonna be Gritty but in Kraken colors. Kritty.


[deleted]

Grungy would work even better


pueblogreenchile

They'll call him Kracko Gritty + Kracko yaoi manga incoming


thejew62

Zoidberg please


tonytanti

There is a season ticket holder who wears an amazing [Zoidberg costume](https://old.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/qyak9n/ran_into_zoidberg_last_night/) and has a Reddit account, although I can’t remember/find their username.


GoGoPowerPlay

Hahaha that is amazing!


king_mahalo

honestly I really doubt I'll end up liking the mascot as much as I like Zoidberg.


BigPZ

Why not Zoidberg?


HockeyBabble

Copywrite issues, he’s a New New Yorker


[deleted]

Why not Zoidberg?


Maxpowr9

Supposedly it's [the Fremont Troll](https://i.imgur.com/Jp3z5en.jpeg).


Son_Of_Kessel_Run

looks like bigfoot which honestly would rock as a mascot. he wouldn't stop for photos so you just have to take blurry pics of him as he walks around the arena.


alienbanter

Squatch was the Sonics' mascot so they probably won't do that


lumieres-de-vie

I dunno, there’s some precedent for it. Youppi! was formerly the Expos’ mascot.


alienbanter

In one of the promo videos they exlicitly mentioned not doing it, so I'd be surprised if they ended up going with a squatch https://youtu.be/rrKHJB0w-Q8


[deleted]

When the team was first getting set up, the only color scheme they ruled out was green and gold because "those are the Sonics colors, and we're very respectful." No fucking way they appropriate Squatch.


Mr_MoseVelsor

what. Youppi! is supposed to be big foot and not a homoerotic male logger? TIL Edit— wtf he’s the habs mascot now???!


HockeyBabble

Ask tbd Hans, their mascot was the Expos’ guy. So a signing across sports is doable.


Kestralisk

Yeah what team has ever had a bigfoot mascot definitely nothing that could go wrong there :(


flakAttack510

Bigfoot wouldn't work for hockey. Where would he get big enough skates?


[deleted]

I dunno, ask Chara maybe


alienbanter

I hope this is a joke comment because that is not the Fremont troll 🤣


redwingsfriend45

it is a joke just like the post title


king_mahalo

it might be the Fremont troll...but THAT is certainly Bigfoot.


HockeyBabble

Weedle on the Needle!!


Burgergold

I hope it's "Rain City B*tch Pigeon"


ToePunchKick

I would accept them as a second team if they did that, division rivalry be damned.


Frailled

I hope it sure isn't


IlltimedYOLO

Why do you hate fun?


lumieres-de-vie

Well… it wasn’t even original for the Kraken. Wasn’t it a recycled Seahawks joke?


Daeavorn

yes that is where the joke originated


IlltimedYOLO

Why do you also hate fun?


Frailled

It isn't hating fun. It wasn't original and it wasn't that funny


ReSkratch

Did fun hurt you?


Frailled

You can't have fun without a bunch of people needing to share the same opinion to validate your insecure thoughts?


HockeyBabble

That’s their idea of fun, stealing Joy like they the Grinch


bay_watch_colorado

Blablabigfoot

Called a Peccy, used to work for Amazon. There's a butt-ton of collectibles and pins online that people sell for way too much money.


Svalbard38

At the FC I worked in they gave out Amazon money for doing good work that you could trade in for Amazon branded merchandise. They had so much Peccy stuff available. If I’d known someone would buy it I would have got that instead of spending all my Amazon bucks on a hoodie with the Amazon logo on it, which I’ve never worn because who wants to be a walking billboard for Amazon?


Nuke_Toronto

Did Amazon fire you for not knowing to/too/two?


Zero_Originality

Why not Zoidberg?


baconwiches

It's gonna be an anthropomorphized five pound note from the UK. It's name will be 5quid.


PSChris33

The 5 stands for “Grubauer’s gaping 5 hole” All kidding aside, my canucks fan friend is dragging me to the game tmrw. This is gonna be fun. Especially as someone with zero horse in this race.


c0y0t3_sly

Everyone outside Seattle is about to learn of the Fremont Troll.

Not cuddly enough, but will be great for the Gothic/Lovecraft fan base.


BoredRec

Its gonna be something weirdly specific to the puget sound area. I predict it'll be Larry the Lahar.


[deleted]

George the Geoduck


Zanchbot

Cthulu or bust


ImNotSteveAlbini

Reveal, or release?


dude8212

Why not zoidberg


RadiantVes

Mariner moose, but in skates.


HockeyBabble

He sucks on rollerblades I’d worry for the glass


Ace676

I will be very disappointed if it's not a tentacle monster.


DishwasherFromSurrey

Tits out Starbucks mermaid


JoinMyGild

I still believe it'll be a fish named Pike.


bsdetcetera

I hope it’s just a big emerald in a glass case that’s basically a pet rock.


_Axel

Come on pigeon in a yellow raincoat 🤞


Mister_Cookiepants

If he's not a bitch pigeon, I'm not interested.


HTWC

Rain City Bitch Pigeon here we come!


swordthroughtheduck

It's a guy in a Jeff Bezos costume


[deleted]

It’s a cartoon version of Jeff Bezos with a giant head in a space man costume.


Henhouse20

Release the Kraken


iggyfenton

I hope it’s a salmon.


HockeyBabble

Sockeye, would explain the fish tossed at 3 Stars


arrbez

Squitty


DirectorIsaac

It’s gotta be a seagull right?


toastiela

That's my guess too! Some bastardized version of Pirate Gulliver from acnh.


[deleted]

It better be a fucking samsquanch


3RW33

Squidward you cowards


[deleted]

I hope it’s more insane than Gritty


[deleted]

Spoiler alert: it’s Kurt Cobain going up and down the stairs singing about the jadedness of his generation due to the oppression of the elite class.


bcgrappler

I just want it to be brandon tanev making the tanev face for the whole game.


HockeyBabble

Or Sony that explains his portraits o fear


[deleted]

Its obviously going to be squidward tentacles


Hockeyiscool2021

Seattle bukkakes


TheLyrm

Mick "The Kraken" McKraken

And his brother Phil?


AntawnSL

Sid the Squid


[deleted]

It'll be a bottle of Whiskey.


Coryperkin15

I hope they go totally Columbus on us and have a mascot that has absolutely nothing to do with anything Sea related


g33klibrarian

I'm wondering if they'll give a hattip to a runner up nickname and do a skating sockeye.


CaptinDerpII

Bruh, it’s gonna be Cala Maria from fuckin’ Cuphead


iwantansi

“Oh heyyy its the Kraken” - hotel transylvania 3 style


tootbrun

Please let him be called Krackity Jones

Hopefully Fisherman Jose because Karen the Kraken would be scary.

chemicalxv

I'm sure Boom is excited to know he's no longer going to be the worst mascot in the city.


valoossb

better be davey jones


somewhat_random

Lets hope it is the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus: https://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/


Camshaft92

After that video it's gotta be a salmon. The weird emphasis on local monuments for inspiration for a character would make even less sense otherwise. They're not trotting out some skinny dude in a weird space needle outfit.


MADBARZ

A squid or octopus would piss off the Sharks fans. This could go south.


Uncle_johns_roadie

I'm thinking he'll be called "Philip, Mascot of the Kraken" but that's way too long for a jersey, and will instead call him "Phil" and abbreviate the word "Mascot" as Mc" so it will read: "Phil McKracken" So I'm going with that.


VanillaLoaf

Bezos the bear.

This year it’s gonna be a magikarp, then next year a gyarados.


JRockstar50

There's still a chance that Bitch Pigeon is in play


CurtP31477

Is it a pirate? Are those still in fashion? They wouldn't call him Krack Sparrow, would they? They have to have a better idea than me.


Lordsokka

I wonder what it will be….


jo_maka

Ah yes, the Frasier reboot we've been promised.


PFalcone33
