Seattle Kraken debuts 'Hometown Remix' jersey

Well, welcome back. New this morning, the Kraken are giving fans a new look at the Pacific Northwest with their brand new hometown remix jersey. The new design debuts this Thursday against Calgary and here to break it all down for us and the design secrets, the inspiration, and when you can get your hands on the gear is Kraken spokesperson Chase Johnson. Thank you so much for being here. And we have a special guest as well here with you today. Whoa. Hey, we got. Bowie, Bowie is in the house. High five here. As always. Woo, that's a strong high five. We are very excited to be here and have Bowie rocking the new threads. It has been a, absolutely, we have a gift for you as well. My goodness. That is just for you. Look at that, woo. So this is our new hometown remix jersey. We've been working on it here. It's our sixth jersey in six seasons, and truthfully, I couldn't be more excited. Okay, so tell us how you keep this under wraps, how you keep it hidden, how people don't find out about it, and the inspiration with it. Absolutely. In this jersey, we really wanted this to be Seattle in every stitch. The design details have been in the works since April 2025. There's truly a lot of homages to this, not only the city, but the entire Pacific Northwest. One piece that I want to start with right away is the anchor. The fans have been talking since the very beginning. They've been wanting it. It's always lived up on our shoulder, and this is the moment that we decided to put it front and center on our crest. We absolutely love it. It has a scrimshaw element and component to it as well that honors our maritime roots. And again, a new number of Number and letter way, which is very cool. We brought back the cream color as well, which if you remember the 2024 winter classic game we played, we brought that back and we think that it leads to a very clean cut, but still very northwest design, very northwest. So I mean, it takes some time to do this, right? Absolutely. And the fans scream for this kind of stuff for sure, especially when Bowie is demonstrating here is a little fashionista outfit. I like it. What what goes into really the thoughts deep down behind getting this to be unique to set yourself aside. Thank you. Other teams in the NHL, even though they do similar things like this as well. Absolutely. I mean, one of the things that I love about the Kraken brand, the story really started always being in our Northwest waters. And we wanted to honor that in this jersey. So again, starting with the anchor, even the sleeves that we have, we have these wonderful Bowie, if you could model the Puget Sound sleeves where they have the ocean and then Mount Rainier and the Olympics element as well. We also have on the back hem a rhododendrons honoring the official Washington State flower as well. Anyways. It's really head to toe again. Seattle and every stitch was the motto and anchored in the northwest is the philosophy on this one. It was a tough one to keep under wraps because we know the fans are going to be excited to see this crest on the front, but we've made it. We're here and Bowie's doing a wonderful job modeling. And you have some partnerships with this. I see a nice little logo on here. How fun is it to partner with the Muckleshoot Tribe? It is wonderful. They are a fantastic partner for us and also just. Their crest design is incredible, so it just fits right on in with this current one, and we're very lucky to have them. And how long does something like this go into the works? I mean, I know you start talking about it every year. You guys have lots of designs and special features with artists around here. What goes into the length behind that time frame? Absolutely. It's very intentional. This process started back in April 2022 with both NHL and Fanatics. So it was a big moment for us, and we wanted to nail it from the jump in honoring the city. And it was tough to narrow down. We have so many incredible elements that lit That we wanted to honor so it was tough to choose but we feel like comprehensively this is this is the story we wanted to tell and we can't be. More excited, again, we have our first game that we're playing it here on Wednesday, November 4th, so it's a quick turn. We think that the fans are going to really love seeing it in a ring. Okay, is that against Calgary? Yes, it is, so it's coming right on up. I think that these uniforms look so amazing because they complement Bowie, right? Yeah, absolutely. Don't they complement the colors there? I mean, what's not to love? Okay, what else do you want people to know if they haven't been to a Kraken game? Like myself, I watch it all the time. I haven't been to one in the Climate Pledge. I cannot believe it. No. Well, first off, it's worth knowing Bowie is one of our absolute stars of the show. The in arena atmosphere truly is, it's unlike almost anywhere else I've ever been. We really pride ourselves on an incredible in game experience with epic video. And if you haven't had the chance to experience hockey before, you're gonna see it. The hits just hit harder when you're in arena, a Climate Pledge Arena. We call it the deep is our mantra for Climate Pledge. Cuz when you step inside between the incredible, the noise of the crowd, Bowie descending from the rafters. Pretty incredible experience and again, We've got to get you to a game that I know we're going to make. We're going to do it. Talk about the hometown remix nights. We just got a little bit of a graphic on what that entails besides this jersey. Absolutely. So again, this is a jersey not just for Seattle, but for the entire Pacific Northwest. We really wanted to honor different communities. So we're going to be starting with a Seattle night specific, but then we're going to jump over to the east side. We're going to go to the South Sound. We're going to be jumping over to Eastern Washington. Each of those nights are going to have specific elements and components that we really want to honor those fans when we have the largest market in the NHL. So fans coming and getting to experience the game and homages to them, we really wanted to make happen. Okay, and when can the fans get this again? So 8 AM live, you can grab it right now. It's available at all of our Kraken team stores and seattlehockeyteamstore.com. Chase and Bowie, thank you so much for being here today. This was a treat and I'm gonna get to a game.
