Y'all know I'm nuts about the official Kraken logo variants. While I've been waiting for the Hispanic Heritage Night merch to go on sale (probably in 2 weeks?) I poked around the website and found that a lot of the placeholder images had changed – including the one for AANHPI Night and wow!
I can't find a higher resolution image yet, and curiously, very little about this night in general. It's not listed on the Common Thread web page (but is on the group nights), and Toka Valu isn't in the Common Thread video or artist web page, nor is his design included in the recent promos along the monorail. The Common Thread Nights for some reason also include Military Appreciation Night and Hockey Fights Cancer Night (which are across the entire NHL) – but the unique logo nights all feature a tote as the promo item, whereas the AANHPI Night features a long-sleeve shirt. Toka Valu has a LinkedIn post alluding to his involvement with the Kraken about 3 months ago, but nothing since then.
I'm stoked, but it is kinda weird it's getting like a second-string treatment. It's my favorite logo of this season, and since it's not a full-fledged Common Thread Night, I'm doubting it's gonna get the full merch treatment which is a bummer.
