The Kraken’s Hometown Remix jersey does exactly what a lot of fans have been asking for since day one: it puts the anchor right out front.
On Monday, Nov. 2, the NHL rolled out its 2026-27 Hometown Remix looks for every team, and Seattle joined the league-wide reveal at 7 AM PT. The first thing that jumps off the jersey is the crest, with the anchor taking center stage instead of sitting off to the side as a secondary mark.

That design choice gives the jersey a very different feel from the Kraken’s previous looks. The anchor has been part of Seattle’s identity since the franchise’s inaugural season, but this is the first time it has been moved to the front as the main crest. It’s also the team’s fourth jersey launch since entering the NHL, and this one leans hard into the identity fans have been pushing for.
The jersey pulls its inspiration from the Kraken arena’s nickname, “The Deep,” and the color scheme follows that theme. An off-white anchor sits against a dark navy background, creating the kind of deep-sea look Seattle clearly wanted. Around the sleeves, the teal stripe adds a clean link back to the regular teal used in the team’s logo on its standard jerseys.
Not every Hometown Remix release around the league has landed well with fans, but Seattle’s version feels like a direct answer to its own crowd. The Kraken listened, and they gave supporters the anchor on the front.
Seattle’s branding has remained one of the strongest in the NHL, and this jersey release is another example of why.
The Kraken will wear the Hometown Remix jerseys six times this season, starting Wednesday, Nov. 4, when they host the Calgary Flames. The other dates are Nov. 28 against the Edmonton Oilers, Jan. 2 against the New York Islanders, Jan. 3 against the Vancouver Canucks, and Feb. 13 and March 15, both home games against the St. Louis Blues.

Why Shane Wright And The Kraken Were Headed For This Split
Shane Wrights exit from Seattle had been building for a while, and the move finally became official when the Kraken dealt him to Nashville in exchange for Matthew Wood. The trade followed earlier reports that Wrights agent and Kraken general manager had been in discussions, a sign that both sides were working toward a resolution rather than letting the situation linger into the season.
For Seattle, the split reflects a familiar kind of NHL reality: a young player looking for a clearer path and a team trying to balance development with roster fit. Wright acknowledged he wanted a larger role and more playing time, and he evidently did not see that opportunity materializing in Seattle. The Kraken now move on with a different piece in hand, while Wright gets the fresh start he was seeking. [Read more 🡒]
Krakens Hot Start Is Hiding A Blue Line Problem
Seattles franchise-best start has come with a blue-line twist: the defense is producing more offense, and that has been a real part of the early success. The shift fits the new approach on the back end, where the group is being asked to activate more and help drive play, and the payoff has shown up in the scoring column even as the overall team results have surged.
But the same style has also exposed some familiar defensive cracks, especially when it comes to odd-man rushes and suppressing chances against. Seattles top pair has been getting caved in more than the others in expected goals against, while the Evans and Montour pairing has looked steadier by comparison, leaving the Kraken with a good problem and a real one at the same time.

Shane Wrights First Post-Kraken Comments Say Plenty About His Seattle Role
Shane Wrights first public comments since leaving Seattle offered a glimpse at how he sees the next step in his career. Speaking with Nashville media, the young center said he was surprised by the move but also excited about what comes next, framing the change as a chance to keep growing while chasing a bigger stage. He also touched on the way he has been used this season, along with the decision behind his jersey number, giving the first real sense of how he is settling in with his new club.
For the Kraken, Wrights comments land with a familiar subtext: this was never just about a transaction, but about fit, opportunity and where a player believes his path can open up. He made clear that joining Nashville comes with real ambition, including a desire to win a Stanley Cup, and his tone suggested relief as much as anticipation. The details of how the trade unfolded are still part of the larger story, but Wrights first remarks already say plenty about why the change mattered to him. [Read more 🡒]
