SEATTLE — The Seattle Kraken unveiled the team’s first-ever third jersey on Thursday with a very unique element.
The jersey is all-black and has glow-in-the-dark elements, which the team says is a nod to the bioluminescence found in the waters of the Pacific Northwest.
“When we set out to design a third jersey, we wanted to create something a bit more menacing and intense,” said Kraken Vice President of Brand Aaron Wiggan. “We drew our inspiration from the eerie shadows of the deep Pacific Northwest waters. The result is the franchise’s first all-black kit that includes an Ice Blue, glow-in-the-dark outline on the crest – a nod to the incredible bioluminescence found in these waters. We’re extremely proud of how it turned out, and we can’t wait to see our players and fans in this new look.”
The jersey will be worn for the first time during the Kraken’s game on Saturday, Nov. 1 against the New York Rangers at Climate Pledge Arena. As opposed to other past alternate jerseys the Kraken wore as part of the “Reverse Retro” league-wide theme or the Winter Classic Jersey, this jersey will be worn for at least the upcoming season and the two after that.
In addition to the black jersey, players will don black gloves, shorts and socks along with matte black helmets.
“This is an exciting new look for our team, and the jersey is phenomenal,” said Kraken captain Jordan Eberle. “The glow-in-the-dark element is really unique, and it’s such an eye-catching look. I love the inspiration behind it and all the details that went into the design. We hope it will add to the incredible atmosphere at Climate Pledge Arena.”
Season-ticket holders will be able to pre-order the jersey beginning Friday through Sept. 10. The public presale for the jersey will begin on Sept. 11 and the jerseys will be available at Kraken Team Store locations and online beginning Oct. 5.
