Buoy is awesome. Very engaging, fun and just the right amount of trolling. Haters gonna hate.

I am fully down with Buoy!
MagicallyOceanically
I’ll admit, I was really skeptical at first but he has won me over. He commonly interacts with our section, and he is charming and silly. I’m now a Buoy lover!

You know when you were a kid, and being weird just to annoy the grownups was basically the only real power you had?
Well, I’m in my 40s now, but when I see Buoy, my inner child just starts turning cartwheels. That feeling of making up annoying songs on a long car trip, or turning my eyelids inside out, just comes rushing back.
I get to relive that delight every time someone with more maturity and dignity flinches at the sight of Buoy.
I love Buoy

He’s incredible.
I loved him from day one but we got to meet him and while doing so the kraken scored, he picked up my older daughter and spun her around dancing during the goal song. Was a Buoy addict ever since.

By far better than our mascot.

Love him. He’s our troll. My daughter is absolutely smitten.

I was a bit disappointed when they first announced Buoy as our mascot, but he grew on me quickly and now I can’t image anything different
jabberwox
He’s a hot mess but he’s **our** hot mess and I’ll fight anyone who even looks at him funny.

Not the fugliest mascot by far, but he’s no Gritty either.

I’m a big fan of Buoy, my son loves him too
Apprehensive-Cake427
Make him into a mindflayer

I like him, but I’m a little disappointed about the back story of the statue he’s based on. But looking past that, he’s fun.

He’s like Gritty’s playful younger brother and I’m here for it.
Psigun
Gross and I love him

One of the greats? Maybe. The greatest of all time? Absolutely.

Unimpressed at first, but same as most of you, pretty quickly, I really began to dig Buoy.

I love him and so do my kids. And his playoff beard last year was awesome.
kevinrays
He’s good.

Not a fan on the reveal — but by gawd, the PR team and actor has turned it into a lovable character. Enjoy the antics and appreciate the personality they’ve formed.
Kids love the troll, so that’s all that matters anyway.

IMO, he’s the best and most fun thing about the Kraken branding so far. So much of the team’s presentation is so plodding, borderline dour, and on the nose that it’s honestly great to have an injection of humor and energy to offset it. I can only watch videos of people looking at the sound and old men telling tales of the deep for so long before I start nodding off.

Not trying to hate but very disappointed

Honestly? I was one who hated him at first. Gotta admit the little bastard has wormed his way into my heart….
LogieThePerogie
He cool
KatinHats
I absolutely love Buoy. Have since day one, and in no small part bc of how many people HATE him. That’s the point of a troll haha
The twitter account is hilarious, and I ship Buoy x Gritty 😂

I was appalled at first (I hate troll dolls). But once the bile from people who just loathed him and didn’t think we should have a mascot at all came flowing up everywhere, I decided to like him. The kids loved him. Then I saw how good his social media was, and how he would mess with adults. He was a troll who was also a troll! I was 100% pro Buoy after that.
I know a lot of people weren’t happy with the choice, but most of the sea creature options were taken. Personally I’m glad they didn’t go with a squid. The Kraken is an unspeakable horror from under the sea. I would rather feel the kraken than have a team approved soft and cuddly version of it.

Buoy is a lil ball of chaos and I absolutely adore him
king_mahalo
uhh…he rocks? Clearly

I would absolutely fucking die for Buoy. Buoy is perfect and Buoy should be allowed to do as much crime as Buoy wants.
