Some of the most exciting news hockey fans have gotten in recent months, aside from the return of hockey, was the reveal of Seattle’s NHL team name.

The Kraken were born, and fans love them already. So much so? They even have their own superfans.

 

 

Seriously.

Now, fans are going wild with the possibilities for this team, Goalie Customizer has made a pretty amazing concept design for whoever ends up in net for the Kraken.

 

 

 

Release the Kraken (mask)!!! 🦑 • • • Finally finished painting this! Have been wanting to paint a mask again for quite awhile, and after the @seattlekraken name and jerseys were revealed, inspiration struck! I like to think of it as a mask that tells a story 😁. Running down the center of the mask we have an anchor descending to the ocean floor, which crosses paths with the Kraken that takes up the rest of the mask. On the back we see the Kraken rising to the surface beneath the unsuspecting yacht to which the anchor belongs... • • • Painted with @createxcolors on a Bauer 9600.

So. Good.

The designer also made some pad concepts, which also turned out gorgeous.

 

 

These concepts are stunning, and we can’t wait to see something similar on the ice.
