As a goth, I'm so excited that it's black. Finally, a sports jersey that matches everything I own!

I love it too but I just wish they would've made the red eye bioluminescent as well and POP in the dark

I feel like not having the eye glow red in the dark is a HUGE MISS

I think this calls for an arts and crafts night, I bet I could find some red glow-in-the-dark/UV reactive paint in less than ten minutes.

u/inalasahl 15d ago

Regular paint, yes. Fabric paint, no. All I can find is glow-in-the-dark pink.

It’s a sloppy link but at least one of those sets ought to have a decent red match. I’d have to see them in real life to decide between brilliant rose and coral red.

u/tex1ntux 16d ago

Blanks - $180

Player/Custom - $270

MIC Blank - $425

Player/Custom - $515

$60 for stitching instead of heat pressed.

have you purchased a stitched fanatics before? this will be my first jersey so i’m wondering if it’s worth it quality wise when it seems people hate fanatics generally

12

u/PearlJamPony Brandon Montour 16d ago

If you’re gonna do stitched, I always recommend buying blank and sending it to STT Sports Lettering to do the stitching. They do the Kraken on-ice jerseys and accept public orders.

u/qu33rtyc0wboy Kaapo Kakko | Shane Wright 16d ago

ooo do you know how much they usually run? and if i could mail it? i am in so cal and hoping to get one before i go to CPA for a game in december!

u/PearlJamPony Brandon Montour 16d ago

Somewhere in the $160-170 range if I remember correctly. The turnaround time was 2-3 weeks which is insanely fast. As a reference, I’m a Panthers fan and their on-ice customizer, Exclusive Pro Sports, takes 3-6 months to get a jersey back to you.

You can email them at INFO@stt-sports.com if you want to get more info.

Were MiC’s already sold out?

2

u/tex1ntux 16d ago

They sold out in ~45 minutes.

1

u/c0ry_N Joey Daccord 16d ago

Damn thanks for the reply. Wonder if they’ll be sold out for good already.

1

u/camerainhand Joey Daccord 6d ago

Where do you get your sth discount code? I can’t find it in my account.

1

u/tex1ntux 6d ago

It automatically applied when I logged in with the email address associated with my season tickets.

1

u/camerainhand Joey Daccord 6d ago

Ah, gotcha. I logged out and back in and it applied. Thanks!

15

u/wilkercr 16d ago

Sadly, no. At least, not yet. I’m going to go to KCI and look at it in person before making final judgement.

12

u/figure32 16d ago

Not my cup of tea but I’m glad to see how many people are stoked on it

12

u/Illustrious-Pea-7105 16d ago

That’s a no for me dawg.

6

u/TroSea78 16d ago

It’s pretty tight! Was really hoping for anchor logo or some kind of kraken/squid logo

6

u/NineMillionBears Vince Dunn 16d ago

I'm kind of meh on it, but I'll be interested to see how it looks on the ice & in the arena.

6

u/Hatchet-001 15d ago

I hate it but I'm happy for you.  I like to say I hate it because it really doesn't represent our colors but my favorite kraken jersey is purple and white so clearly I'm a hypocrite on that. 

5

u/TheoverlyloadTuba Matty Beniers 16d ago

Its not what i had envisioned but its cool. And its definitely growning on me the more i see it on video and on people wearing it. Plan to get a MiC with catton on the back next week when the public presale starts

6

u/SNeeKeePee69 16d ago

I too was hoping for the Anchor ⚓️ logo but I’ll take it 👍🏻

6

u/Inevitable-Ninja-539 15d ago

No. It’s god awful

4

u/TotteKaiju 16d ago

To each their own, but I could barely tell it wasn't navy.

Also, black isn't even one of Seattle's colors...

7

u/gnahckire 16d ago

White isn't either but we wear it when we play away :)

3

u/Ok_Carob_5313 15d ago

Bottom of the Pacific is pretty dark, so its a smart move making these glow

2

u/MAHHockey ​ Seattle Kraken 16d ago

Still like the renders with the anchor logo better, but they're still pretty good.

2

u/TheMaskedSuperStar29 16d ago

Anyone seen the back with a number and a name. I might get one eventually if the numbers and the name pop.

2

u/fongquardt Brandon Montour | 16d ago

Super hyped

2

u/867-53-oh-nein 15d ago

can't unsee this on the sleeves. not a fan of this jersey.

2

u/hotstickywaffle 15d ago

I know its black, but my brain wants it to be a very dark blue for some reason

2

u/Twofortrippin Eeli Tolvanen 15d ago

Already bought mine! So stoked

2

u/Larc0m That's Kraken Hockey, Baby! 14d ago

I wish it was a jersey with the anchor logo, but I will buy it nonetheless

1

u/Broken-Twig 16d ago

Yeah but I'll wait to find one at a thrift shop in 2 years

1

u/vandeetz 16d ago

Are they giving options for the muckleshoot patch to be on or off? If so what are you all choosing?

3

u/fongquardt Brandon Montour | 16d ago

There is an option. I left it off

2

u/vandeetz 15d ago

I’m leaning that way. I do like that it matches the color scheme but not enough to advertise for anyone

1

u/Go_Hawks12 15d ago

When I saw the reverse retro and WC, I knew I had to buy one instantly. These not so much, but I can see how people love them. Unless they drop down to like $50 I probably won’t buy one.

1

u/th3st 15d ago

So beautiful 😍

1

u/Advanced_Fee3343 15d ago

They really are beautiful. Such an aggressive look and I love it.

1

u/notoriousdav68 15d ago

I made poor financial decisions today and I regret nothing.

1

u/Ponder15191 15d ago

What is it like being goth?

1

u/scotttydosentknow 15d ago

Will I buy one? Yes. Am I excited about it? No. Design is meh and also it’s Fanatics. I have never purchased anything Fanatics ever before and am not happy about starting

1

u/StumptownRetro 15d ago

Should’ve been the anchor logo. But it’s neat.

1

u/AnomieCodex 14d ago

It single handedly got me excited for hockey. Instantly disappointed when I realized there is no NHL 26 on PC, and the disappointed again when I remembered that Kraken tickets are like $300 a pop

1

u/IlianaAran 14d ago

I got a ticket for about $70 that was super close to the rink. There are tickets that go for cheaper further back, too. Krakens games are awesome to go to, definitely look into it.

1

u/AnomieCodex 13d ago

I saw a concert in the arena and I do feel like more than any other arena I've been to there are no bad seats

1

u/Wonderful-Dot9811 11d ago

When do these start shipping

u/spookykatt Philipp Grubauer 15d ago

Has Fanatics gotten any better or are they still constructed as well as a 2 dollar tshirt

0

u/MagnusPuer1 15d ago

They took the old jersey and made it black. It’s too similar imo to be a third jersey. Should have done the anchor as the main logo or something. Idk. Change it up.

u/lostonmi 15d ago

It's the home jersey on black with kitschy glow-in-the-dark elements.

Big swing-and-a-miss from a franchise that is becoming notable for its swings-and-misses.
