2024 Winter Classic logos leaked!

The fine folks over at SportsLogos.net have managed to track down logos for the Vegas Golden Knights and Seattle Kraken for the upcoming 2024 Winter Classic scheduled for January 1st, 2024.

Citing a report from Golden Knights blog Sin Bin Vegas, Chris Creamer of Sportslogos.net shared these two images of the teams' suspected logos for the upcoming game.

More on the designs from Creamer:

Looking at the Golden Knights cap, the lid is grey with a gold visor and button giving us an idea of what the overall colour scheme of their yet-to-be-unveiled uniform will be (though the SinBin post says Vegas will wear cream-coloured sweaters). The logo on the front, and presumably the logo that will be the focal point of their jersey shows a gold “V.” The resolution of the graphic is quite small, but I believe I can make out what appears to be two spotlights shining to the stars crossing together to form the “V.” Friend of the site, Clark Rasmussen of DetroitHockey.Net told me he sees two crossed swords. 

Moving over to the Kraken, the cap is navy blue with an ice blue (almost teal) visor and button. The logo on the front is red, trimmed in white, and features the “S” from the primary Kraken logo. Within the “S” is the team name of “KRAKEN” in white in a worm-like shape to follow along the inside of the letter. This is clearly a nod to the logo used by the old Seattle Metropolitans of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association who wore an “S” on their chests with “SEATTLE” written inside in a similar fashion in the 1910s and early 1920s. This lettering style is repeated on the side of the cap.

Honestly... I kinda love them. 

The Kraken logo is a subtle nod to the Seattle Metropolitans, which I absolutely love. I don't know what's up with the funky 'KRAKEN' on the side, but I can forgive it given the cool design of the main logo.

As for the Vegas logo, it's a V... which... I dunno... anyone else think that Vegas is just straight up ripping off the old school Canucks logo now? They've got the same colors and now they're rocking the 'V'. C'mon...
