Seattle Kraken jerseys went on sale to the general public on Wednesday, September 15th, and according to the NHL, they sold more in their first day available than the Vegas Golden Knights did in their first two months.

"Vegas set a pretty high bar," Brian Jennings, NHL chief brand officer, told ESPN on Tuesday. "The Kraken are blowing through it, hourly. It's a hot market right now." Jennings didn't give any specifics into how many jerseys the Kraken have sold in their first week on sale.

Jennings went on to add, "Even though we felt strong about the brand and Seattle was excited for it, you're always so nervous that first day, but the fan response was over the moon."

Jordan Eberle, Philipp Grubauer, Brandon Tanev, and Jamie Oleksiak were the highest-selling jerseys according to the NHL.
