I did post this in the logo discussion thread, but it's better suited here.

Seattle's jersey is neither good nor bad, but, it is growing on me. The secondary anchor logo has a nice Space Needle reference. The 'S' logo is great for a nod to the old Metropolitans who won the Stanley Cup in 1917, the first American team to do so. Seattle v Vancouver could be a great Winter Classic. Kraken in Metropolitans jerseys and the Canucks in white or cream Millionaires jerseys.

It's s**t hot! Love it!

But the logo looks better with the outline. It needs a white outline on the dark jersey.

The Krakens Anchor Logo (Secondary logo) on the top represents obviously an anchor but also represents the Seattle Space Needle 🙂

i don’t think anyone in the USA or anywhere else in the world knows who Auckland City FC is unless ur a die hard sports/ soccer fan
ACFC have been on the world stage for the Club World Cup before... 🤷‍♂️ I highly doubt they have copied, but it's interesting to see a professional team use the same exact idea as a semi-pro team to highlight their cities' most iconic towers.

Kraken is a bit of an unusual name, reminds me of Raptors in the 90s. I'm sure it'll bed in fine though.

They've absolutely knocked the visual branding out of the park though. Wow! Both logos are absolutely brilliant, and I love the jersey. They got some of the best designers in the business on board and boy oh boy did it pay off.
