I mean the Kraken was derived from a squid, moreso than an octopus

Those are also pretty orange

So like, are there multiple Kraken? Or do all the players represent one big Kraken?

Squid, Octopus, Cuttlefish and Nautilus other known as Cephalopods can pretty much be any color and any texture they want to blend in with the backgrounds. They have truly no "real" colors except smaller species like Blue Ringed Octopus, Mimics or Vampire Squids.

Personally, I just fucking hate you fuzz. You're a dumb idiot and your mom should have swallowed. Anything you do will be a failure. This league is obviously a mistake because 1. You won a cup and 2. You are a GM and moved a SACRED hockey team to a dumb idiot land like Carolina. They can't even read there. Your so stupid. Fucking millennials

+1

I love the Mimic Octopus though their best defense is they mimic predators of theirs like Lionfish and Sea Snakes. I'm a pretty big Cephalopod fan lol

I'd guess every player is a tentacle, the team as a whole is the Kraken.

Ideally, I think I would have preferred for the team to stay in Montreal. However, during their presentation, Fuzz brought up the issue of Montral having a massive branding issue with those pro Impact and those more so pro Militia. He felt that this somewhat stigmatized the team and even had some negative attachments as a result of it. Nothing seemingly would work with the Montreal branding from his viewpoint and the history of the team is kind of already shot with multiple re-brands. It's not like Kelowna or Detroit who have had the exact same branding since forever. A lot of effort was clearly put into this re-brand, and to outright reject it just because there is no "Montreal" in front of it seems unfair to the work dedicated in this effort and to Fuzz's ability to remove the negative attachments of the Impact/Militia feud.

For me, most of the "pro militia" group are players who played for the Miltia and not the Impact or people that didn't play for the team but disliked that the brand was named after a soccer team. When the Impact was around they had one of the best/active alumni groups in the league and pretty much everyone that played there loved the name and branding. People chirping the brand made for more fun rivalries and shit talk especially when the Impact were consistently winning. The Impact brand definitely didn't taint the team for their players or first-gen rookies.

The history of the team is more associated with the city than it is with the name at this point. I just never understand decisions like this when it comes to teams with a long history behind them.

IMO should've just rebranded back to Montreal Impact or picked a new branding in Montreal. I like the logo and all but I don't really get the "Brand was tainted" way of thinking, the logo right now is a half-assed Impact knockoff logo and going back to the original Impact name and branding or changing to a new brand in Montreal which isn't just a clone of the Impact (without the name) would've been much better and respected the 45 season history of the team more.

Anyway, I like the logo but personally not a fan of the team name.

The reasoning is in the media, if you would be so kind as to read it.
