Having a Kraken as a mascot just would have made too much sense

I mean the flyers mascot is… gritty. Mascots are for the fans, especially the kids. So long as they got someone who can make the mascot funny and the kids enjoy it than isn’t that enough?

Geitty is a chaotic meth beast, so he very much so related to the energy of the city and the team.

The flyers also aren't a specific creature. You can get away with making the mascot an amorphous blob. The Kraken had a golden oppurtunity to make something unique and be related to its team. Instead they choose... this.

Mascots and team nicknames are different things and having the mascot be the same thing as the team name is a missed marketing opportunity. The mascots should be fun and weird, which this is. I can’t think of anything less important than what the mascot is for a team.

The kraken is built around mystery. You aren’t supposed to see more than an eye starring at you or a random tentacle
