Anyone who has either attended a Seattle Kraken game at Climate Pledge Arena or watched the local broadcast is aware of the relationship the team has with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.
They’ve seen the pregame videos about land acknowledgments. They have watched the Muckleshoot Canoe Family perform during the team’s first Indigenous Peoples Night. They know the tribe’s casino, the Muckleshoot Casino, has dasherboard ads while also being the in-arena and broadcast sponsor anytime the Kraken go on the power play.
Wednesday marked the next step in that relationship, with the Kraken announcing that the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe will be their first sweater patch partner, making it the first time that an indigenous tribe will ever have its logo and name on a sweater after the NHL began allowing ads on the shoulders of uniforms at the start of this season.
