NHL’s 32nd team will be called the Seattle Kraken
The NHL’s 32nd franchise, that begins play in 2021-22, has chosen the name Seattle Kraken.
As part of Thursday’s announcement, NHL Seattle revealed two logos, a wordmark and uniforms. The primary logo features a tentacle shaped like an S, which is nod to the PCHA’s Seattle Metropolitans, the first American-based team to ever win the Stanley Cup in 1917, while the secondary logo blends Seattle’s iconic Space Needle and an anchor to keep with the maritime theme.
