The artist for this season’s Pride Night warmup jersey, Simson Chantha, incorporated his passion for design and color. Simson loves, “flowers, coffee, and spending time with his dog.” We are all in for something special as we all anticipate the full reveal of his design the Kraken will wear their game against Dallas.

Chantha’s specific inspiration: As a Capitol Hill resident, he enjoys finding quiet in Volunteer Park “as a respite from the hustle and bustle of Capitol Hill.” Well, and dog walks are highly productive for his artistic brain and soul too.

Professional inspiration: For Simson, art is a form and vehicle to get a message across, plus communicating beauty in the world. For colors, Simson will be pulling progressive pride flag hues in “a clear and contemporary fashion” to represent people of color and people who identify as transgender, gender nonconforming and/or undefined. The lettering and numbering will result in a pattern to create the full rainbow across them.
