Ugly AF! That sucks. Way to ruin the best jerseys in the league

Damn, atleast itās not the Canucks patch
Edit: sponsor patch

These are a lot better than most of the other sponsor patches I’ve seen.

They’re dressing it up a bunch with flowery language about tribal recognition but at the end of the day this is a gambling advertisement patch. I’m not a fan.

Was probably inevitable that this was going to happen at some point. That being said, this is probably one of the better looking options with the somewhat matching colors and Mt. Rainier being part of their logo.

I mean given that it was just a matter of time before every team got a sponsor patch, I’d rather have a native tribe sponsor than Amazon or Starbucks. Still sucks that this is the way all sports are headed
PopPalsUnited
This is a gambling sponsorship.

I know the league needs more revenue but my gawd, the jersey patches are complete bullshit.
surfingeagles
They are not bad looking, but it is a shame to have ads on the jersey. Hopefully, the winter classic jerseys won’t have it.

I’m actually OK with this. It technically is the tribe not the casino on the patch. Tribe is more then just the casino. Thinking the whole damn area was once their land, a small patch, that I’m sure they had to fork over major $ for, seems pretty small in comparison. I hope they make a rink on the Rez so the kids can develop into players. Lots of youth suicide issue in triable communities. If this helps I’m all for it.

Not a fan, not a fan of advertisement patches in general. They really make NBA jerseys look terrible. The Lakers rocking a Wish patch is hilariously bad

As an enrolled member of a tribe, I’m all for indigenous representation in modern society and popular culture, plus the Muckleshoot Tribe runs commercials that are separate from the casino. With that said, this is also another effective marketing move by the Muckleshoot to silence any push back from the Duwamish who want their own separate federal recognition.

I actually like this. Bettee than having starbucks or amazon sponser us
A_crackinthecup
Yuck. Sorry but this looks horrible on the jersey. Doesn’t blend at all
majorBotHead
I know they wonāt be but Iām hoping retail jerseys will be patch free at least

I just don’t like all the advertisements on the boards, ice, jersey. I takes away from the game. I don’t care whos patch or ad it is. On occasional nights; not problem for me. But my fear is that our rinks and jerseys will end up looking like the European teams and arenas. Not a fan.
And on another note. Betting and sports. What could go wrong? /s

I’m totally fine with the patch itself, at least it’s not a traditional sponsor. I just wish they tried to blend the colors of it to be more in line with the jersey. The bottom half really sticks out.

It really rubs me the wrong way that they seem to be trying to pass it off as a diversity & inclusion initiative when they are getting paid for this. (eg. [this video](https://youtu.be/ujYQ3FdASUg) ) Iām glad it doesnāt actually say ācasinoā on the patch, at least, but I hope that the team will include all of the tribes in Washington in Indigenous Peoples Night etc., not just the one that pays them.
Go_Hawks12
Definitely could be a lot worse based on some other teams sponsor patches

As someone who doesnāt know anything about the tribes that are being mentioned here, itās yucky that theyāre disguising a gambling advertisement as cultural inclusivity. I could be completely wrong here, but it sounds like the Muckleshoot tribe has more power and influence to be able to indirectly silence the prominence of other tribes in the area. Kinda weird imo that inclusivity only seems to matter when money is involved. The patch looks pretty tho. Letās go kraken!

I like sports and sports betting. Jersey advertisement patches are not ideal from a aesthetics standpoint but I donāt really care. Itās not going to ruin the game for me. If we get into euro league territory with adverts on the uniforms then Iāll complain.

Stupid. If they wanted to recognize indigenous peoples, then why not create a patch that recognizes all tribes instead of just the mucks? Thereās so many tribes here in Washington, itās just that the muckleshoots sponsor the kraken and generate extreme revenue through sports betting. What about the lummi, puyallup, cowlitz, or quinalt peoples? Whereās their patch. Bad form kraken.

So now that the jerseys are sponsored, can we get a discount on them (preferably give them away for free š) since weāll be walking ad boards?
