The roar hits you first. It’s a wave of pure energy, a sound born from the collective soul of The Deep, echoing off the rafters of Climate Pledge Arena. But tonight, it feels different. It’s not just the thundering slap of a puck or the crunch of a check against the boards; it’s the pulse of a community, a celebration of heritage woven into the very fabric of Seattle hockey. This isn’t just any game. This is AANHPI Night. We collaborated with a visionary artist from the community to create something that wasn’t just another piece of merchandise, but a story you can wear. Their vision was to capture the “Common Thread”—the powerful, unseen connection that binds diverse cultures and a passionate fanbase. They wanted to design a symbol that felt both fiercely Kraken and deeply rooted in the rich artistic traditions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander cultures. This jersey is that vision brought to life, a testament to unity, pride, and the untamable spirit of Seattle.
More Than a Jersey: The Kraken AANHPI Night 2026 ‘Common Thread’ Edition
This is not the standard sweater you wear to every game. It’s a carefully crafted piece of art, a statement of identity designed to stand apart. Where other special event apparel might simply change a color palette, we went deeper, redesigning the very soul of the Kraken identity for one special night. The artist’s goal was to create a visual language that spoke of the ocean’s power in a new dialect, one inspired by the flowing, intricate patterns of traditional Pacific art forms.
Every element was meticulously chosen to tell the story of the “Common Thread”:
- A Redefined Crest: The centerpiece is a stunning, reimagined Kraken ‘S’ logo. Forget the familiar anchor; this crest is a fluid, tribal-inspired masterpiece. Its powerful, sharp lines evoke the dynamic energy of ocean waves, the graceful strength of a sea dragon, and the intricate linework of Polynesian tattoos. It’s a symbol of untamed power, reinterpreted through a cultural lens. The light gray outline makes it leap off the deep navy canvas, demanding attention.
- Intricate Custom Numbering: This is where the design truly separates itself. The custom numbers and lettering on the back aren’t just a simple block font. They are filled with the same mesmerizing, flowing pattern as the chest crest. It’s a level of detail competitors often overlook, ensuring your jersey is a cohesive work of art from every angle. It’s a signature touch that screams premium and exclusive.
- Subtle Shoulder Detailing: Look closer at the black shoulder yokes. We’ve added a subtle, embossed pattern that adds texture and depth to the jersey. This tone-on-tone detail is designed to catch the light, revealing a repeating motif that continues the theme of waves and interconnectedness. It’s a feature you feel as much as you see.
- A Deep Ocean Palette: The jersey is built on a base of deep, rich navy blue, reminiscent of the Puget Sound at midnight. It’s a color that signifies depth, power, and mystery—the perfect home for the Kraken. The black and silver accents create a sharp, modern contrast that is both intimidating and incredibly clean.

In a world of mass-produced fan gear, this jersey is a piece of living history.

It’s for the fan who understands that a team is more than its players; it’s a reflection of its city and the people who call it home.
When you pull this sweater over your head, you’re not just supporting the Kraken. You are wearing a symbol of inclusivity, a nod to the diverse cultures that make the Pacific Northwest so unique. It’s a conversation starter, a collector’s item, and a powerful statement of pride. While other jerseys might get lost in the crowd, this one stands as a testament to a “Common Thread” that makes us all part of The Deep. It’s built for the fan who wants their gear to mean something more.
