The best pro sports team name in years has been released, When it is time for a professional sports team to come up with a name, it tends to make the most boring choice possible, selecting something that a well-paid marketing team determined would upset the fewest people through a series of test groups. And you may be Kraken up over it. They have finally come up with a name for that National Hockey League team up north, that's what. Kirk Cousins looked bad, Baker Mayfield looked worse, and Carson Wentz and Nick Foles looked characteristically inconsistent on Sunday. Can Tyler Seguin and the Stars Find Their Way Back in the Stanley Cup Final? As a team nickname, I’ve certainly heard worse, though.

Editor's Picks NHL's Seattle Kraken to break the ice in 2021-22 With the Washington Football Team finally getting rid of its racist name and imagery, I’ve been thinking a lot about why exactly these things exist. And according to ESPN, the team noticed that people got excited whenever anybody suggested the Kraken online. That said, naming a team after a mascot that excites people online is generally a bad idea. And you may be Kraken up over it. The Norse feared them, and the Norse didn’t fear much.

It’s unclear whether the team will come out with a fuzzy Kraken mascot or whether it will stick with Cthulhuesque imagery for the rest of time.

On Thursday morning, Washington’s NFL team announced that it had come up with an interim name for the 2020 season.

I have seen several representations of what the mysterious creature looks like, by the way, but I have never seen it portrayed on skates. This is an anchor that’s also the Space Needle.

When Kraken was the leading name we were thinking about, and we sought input from them, they always liked that name a lot."

Seattle’s new NHL team also announced its long-awaited team name on Thursday, and decided not to go with the boring route.

I’m not from Seattle, but I’m heartened by the release of the Kraken.

Just look at these damn sweaters: This whips ass pic.twitter.com/59BrVxCHBZ. The Kraken proves that a team name can be distinctive without being gimmicky. Seattle reportedly considered more conventional team names. I think it's fair to say it's whimsical, since it's mythical. He is part of the ownership group of the fledgling team and he just happens to be the producer of Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” film franchise, which has featured the sea creature that is the mythical kraken -- usually portrayed as a giant squid. I embrace the slimy tentacle of the Kraken as it drags the rest of the NHL to the icy depths.

It picked a name no other pro sports team has ever used, or for that matter likely ever considered.

We don’t really need them; as European soccer leagues prove, it’s entirely possible to root for a sports team without them.

I guess we mostly stopped worrying about kraken when we invented planes, but the creature has had a 21st-century resurgence thanks to appearances in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and the 2010 birth of the absolute worst rum in world history. The last time the NFL launched a new franchise, in 2002, it was with a team in Texas. Sure, minor league baseball teams can be named the IronPigs, Chihuahuas, or Flying Squirrels, but a franchise at the top level of its sport can’t be a Meme Team.
