Winter Classic Jerseys 2024: A Closer Look

Kraken

Despite being in only their third NHL season, the Kraken’s Winter Classic jerseys draw inspiration from a century of hockey history. Paying homage to the Seattle Metropolitans, the city’s first professional hockey club from 1915 to 1924, the Kraken’s design transports fans back to the 1917 Metropolitans, the inaugural U.S. team to hoist the Stanley Cup.

The jersey boasts vibrant barber pole striping, featuring deep sea blue, ice blue, and off-white hues. The standout element is the red “S” on the front, elegantly encasing the word “Kraken” within its borders. Complemented by red numbers on the arms, the design is a visual tribute to the roots of hockey in Seattle.

Golden Knights

In their seventh year in the league, the Golden Knights opt for a novel approach for their Winter Classic jerseys. Lacking a city history like Seattle, Vegas takes inspiration from the Wild West, encapsulated by the city’s persona in 1917 – a century before the birth of the Golden Knights.

The Wild West theme unfolds with a vintage white base, adorned with heritage gold trim forming a distinctive “V” on the front, symbolizing the rugged charm of the old western era.
