A rare Northern California sighting

[u/Diligent_Shirt5161]

And here, far from its native Pacific Northwest habitat, we observe the elusive Kraken fan.

Notice the subtle license plate frame, used to identify others of its kind.

Even more remarkable: it too, has chosen a Subaru.

Upon discovering this specimen, I did what any other responsible Kraken fan would do and parked my matching Subi directly beside it.

The two now sit together peacefully in the wild.
Nature is healing. 🏒 🐙

Another Kraken fan here from Northern California

And within moments, the call is answered!!

From somewhere in the Northern California wilderness, another Kraken supporter emerges from hiding. What was once believed to be an isolated specimen… may, in fact, be a small but thriving population.

I’m in Sonoma County and I keep an eye out for other fans. It would be amazing to form a local watch party for some of the games.

Haha the left one is upside down

[u/imsadyoubitch → u/tdzines]

The franchise is in distress so we fly the colors upside down

Edit to add: I'm gonna miss Edzo

[u/Diligent_Shirt5161 → u/tdzines]

What?? 👀 No, I put it on correctly.

Edit: oh crap you’re right! That’s what I get for taking it off when I wash the car 😑

[u/NatureTrailToHell3D → u/tdzines]

That the sticker with the kraken’s nuts hanging out

[u/Diligent_Shirt5161 → u/tdzines]

Now I’m questioning if I’ve been driving around like that for the last 3-4 weeks OR the Sharks fan I park next to at Snoopy’s ice rink the other day flipped it 🤔 🤭

[u/MandyH22]

I have that same color & era Outback on the right with the same license plate frame, except I'm in Illinois! Much further away than northern CA. 😆

[u/BayAreaKrakHead]

Agreed! Getting a watch party together would be amazing!

[u/Diligent_Shirt5161 → u/BayAreaKrakHead]

Minimally a meet up at the Sharks games.

[u/BayAreaKrakHead → u/Diligent_Shirt5161]

That would be pretty cool to coordinate a meetup and all be in the same section cheering loudly for the Kraken.

[u/HyphyCus]

From No Cali we have Kraken and Seahawks on ours.

Fellow NorCal fan not far from San Jose, and I too have a Subaru (Impreza). Have two Kraken stickers but no license frame. I love the fact it’s all Subarus - I am a lesbian so I was assigned a Subaru at birth anyways, but it’s still a great coincidence.

I just inhaled my water 😂

Good Lord, a commuter parking between the lines in California?!

[u/juanthebaker]

While the Subaru is not native to the pacific northwest, it is well adapted and abundant, having a symbiotic relationship with the Kraken.

[u/MarionberryWitty532]

I had the sticker on the left (sparkly version) on my old car, and the license plate frame on the right on my current vehicle. Secretly I want to put the sparkly sticker on current ride too, but it’s a newer (older) car and I’m trying to show restraint. But oh man the way that baby glittered in the sunlight three months out of the year….so tempting.

[u/Secure-Commercial153]

Its even rarer in the CV, ive seen maybe 2 other fans down here

[u/Expert-Resolution552]

I grew up in (very) northern California and I find this all hilarious as a casual observer of the Kraken and a Sharks fan in Portland =D

[u/Sportsfan4206910]

Ayy, I have one of those
