These 13 NHL teams will show off new jerseys this season

The new NHL season is right around the corner, and that means we are in for a lot of new jersey designs.

Teams across the league have updated their uniforms or added new alternate jerseys as they prepare for a fresh new slate. Whether that be by bringing back old favourites, taking inspiration from the past, or coming up with a brand-new design, many NHL teams will be looking a little different during the 2024-25 season.

Here is a look at the 10 teams that we know for sure will be showing off new jerseys on the ice this year:

Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins have opted to throw things back with a new set of home and away uniforms for this upcoming season.

This is the third straight season that the Bruins have swapped their home/away, with 2023-24 being their centennial season and reverting to their usual threads last season. It does appear this new design will be the new norm in Boston, however.

Carolina Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes have refreshed their away set, moving away from the diagonal “CANES” wordmark that they have worn since 2019.

This new design takes heavy inspiration from the team’s 2023 Stadium Series uniform, which also featured a dual-tone version of the logo. That jersey had a black base, so the team took that design and flipped it to white for their away uniform.

Chicago Blackhawks

At first glance, this doesn’t look like a new Chicago Blackhawks jersey, but there have been slight modifications.

This will be the centennial season for the Blackhawks, which means the main logo and numbers will see a gold outline around them. Chicago has also brought back the lace-up collar on their home jersey, something they haven’t done since the 1965-66 season.

Detroit Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings are also celebrating their centennial season this year, and with that comes a brand-new design.

A new third jersey will be worn by the Red Wings this season that pays homage to different eras of the franchise. Everything from the logo to the striping has retro-inspired design features. The leather-coloured captain patches are a nice touch as well.

Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers will be adding a white retro-inspired throwback into the rotation this season.

Gone is the traditional Oilers logo; however, the team has introduced a brand-new wordmark logo to take its place. Notice how the negative space in the cursive “s” forms the shape of an oil drop.

It’s accompanied by blue striping with orange trim on the arms and a new shoulder yoke design. There is also a new shoulder patch logo being featured on the uniform.

Ottawa Senators

The Ottawa Senators introduced a red third jersey into the fold, a first since their 2021 reverse retro.

This time around, the design has much more personality, incorporating black and gold shoulder yokes as well as waist and arm stripes. It’s another example of a team opting for the squared shoulders rather than the traditional round design.

Seattle Kraken

The Seattle Kraken have gone in a modern direction with their latest foray into third jersey design.

Instead of adopting one of their secondary colours as a base, the Kraken opted to go with a black jersey that features an outlined version of their logo with a menacing red eye. The arm striping is reminiscent of the San Jose Sharks’ “Cali Fin” jersey and the New York Rangers’ current third jersey.

St. Louis Blues

Like the Bruins, the St. Louis Blues have decided to change up their home and away kits to something more retro.

After years of fans clamouring for the Blues to adopt a more vintage look, this new set comes into effect this season. It takes heavy inspiration from the team’s 2017 and 2022 Winter Classic looks.

Utah Mammoth

The Utah Mammoth needed new jerseys simply because they got a new name.

They were formally known as the Utah Hockey Club, but have decided to rename the team to the Mammoth moving forward. With that came a brand-new logo that will don the team’s home jersey.

The away jersey has some tweaks but has remained largely the same as it was during the team’s inaugural season.

Washington Capitals

The Washington Capitals are bringing back a fan favourite, but putting a modern twist on it.

After fans got a taste of the screaming eagle during both of the team’s previous reverse retros, this brand-new design will have a bit more staying power. It combines the iconic logo with the team’s current colour scheme and brings back another old logo as a shoulder patch.

11. New York Rangers

The New York Rangers round out the trio of teams celebrating centennials, and they have joined the club with a vintage jersey of their own.

It seems to be a simplified version of their usual home jersey, but they have ditched the shoulder yokes and opted for a brighter shade of blue. The script font is also different. It looks to be largely inspired by the jersey they wore in their first season, all the way back in 1926-27.

12. Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a throwback jersey of their own.

This one is a modern edition of the team’s inaugural away jersey that they wore between 2000 and 2007. It features green shoulders that run all the way down each arm with a thin piece of gold and a larger outline of red.

One shoulder will house the team’s anniversary patch, while the other sees the return of an old design. The iconic Wild logo remains untouched, with the only big difference being the addition of a sponsorship logo on the chest.

13. San Jose Sharks

The year of the throwback has continued with the San Jose Sharks.

This has been dubbed the “heritage jersey” by the Sharks, and it features a design that initially debuted as an alternate during the 1997-98 NHL season. It was later adopted as the Sharks’ primary home jersey between 1998 and 2007.

Vintage NHL jersey fans will be ecstatic to see the return of the team’s original logo as well as the classic grey accents that the team sported for the majority of their formative years.

This story will be updated with any further jersey reveals.
