Entrepreneur Paul Kim is suing the Kraken ownership, claiming they violated trademark rights by using the colors and design of the defunct Seattle Metropolitans, which Kim bought the rights to in 2014.
Despite earlier assurances from Kraken representatives that they would avoid a Metropolitans-inspired design, Kim argues that the Winter Classic jerseys released in January closely resemble the Metropolitans' trademarks.
The Kraken has not responded in court yet.
