"Thanks to this partnership with MeiGray, the game-worn industry leader, Kraken fans around the world will have the opportunity to acquire some incredibly unique items, including the first ever game-worn jerseys in our team's history," said Andrea Buckmeier, VP of Marketing for the Seattle Kraken.
"We're thrilled to partner with the Kraken," said MGG President Barry Meisel. "We're delighted to become a part of Seattle's rich hockey heritage, we're excited about Climate Pledge Arena, and we're eager to engage with new fans and collectors from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We intend to authenticate and help preserve the Kraken's history from that first step on NHL ice. Collectors deserve it."
Every game-worn jersey worn by the Kraken will contain a serial-numbered, counterfeit-proof security tag inside the jersey to insure authenticity. An original Kraken-MGG Program letter of authenticity will also be issued for every item authenticated. Throughout the Kraken's inaugural season, the Kraken-MGG Program will identify and archive the most historic relics of the franchise's most historic opening milestones.
The Program will also offer collectors Goal Pucks, Warmup Pucks, Game-Used Pucks, Game-Used Sticks, and other game-used and game-worn items tied to the Kraken's inaugural NHL season.
