The Seattle Kraken have been eagerly anticipated since their announcement in 2018, and the wait is finally over. On Wednesday, the Utah Jazz accidentally revealed the design of the Kraken’s Winter Classic jersey.
The jersey features a navy blue base with white and red accents. The front of the jersey features the Kraken logo in the center, with the words “Seattle Kraken” written above it in white. The back of the jersey features the player’s name and number in white. The sides of the jersey feature a unique design of waves, representing the ocean and the team’s namesake.
The jersey also features a unique tag on the left side of the collar that reads “Seattle Kraken: Born in 2021”. This tag is a nod to the team’s inaugural season, which will begin in 2021.
The design of the jersey has been met with mostly positive reactions from fans. Many are excited to see what the team will look like on the ice when they take to the ice for their first season. Others are excited to see what other jerseys the team will release in the future.
The Utah Jazz have since apologized for the mistake, but it has certainly created some buzz around the Seattle Kraken. With the reveal of their Winter Classic jersey, fans now have something tangible to look forward to as they await the start of the team’s inaugural season.
