Introducing the Stadium Series Outdoor Game Jerseys
Ahead of the upcoming Stadium Series games, the NHL unveiled a new look for the four teams who will be participating Friday morning.
According to the NHL, these jerseys are meant to “convey a futuristic vision of hockey played outdoors.” They feature oversized numbers and a 2024 Stadium Series patch.
Devils
Up first, the Devils. The team inverts their colors a little bit, hitting the ice with a dark red jersey with black stripes. They will also have an encircled black Devils logo on the crest. The Devis last played in an outdoor game in 2014, facing off against the Rangers at Yankee Stadium. This was the NHL’s first outdoor game in New York City.
Flyers
Returning for their 6th outdoor game, the Philadelphia Flyers. Flyers will be playing in a white sweater and a nameplate that stretches across the whole jersey, creating stripes on the sleeve. The Flyers last played outdoors in 2021 at Lake Tahoe in a losing effort against the Boston Bruins. Their outdoor record currently stands at 1-3-1.
The Devils and Flyers face off on Friday, February 17 at 8:00 p.m.
Rangers
Keeping a similar aesthetic to their road jerseys, the Rangers have a white jersey with blue and red stripes. The initials “NYR” are plastered diagonally across the body of the jersey. The Rangers are coming into this stadium series with an undefeated 5-0 record in outdoor games. They last appeared in the 2018 Winter Classic at Citi Field, defeating the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in overtime.

Islanders
Islands are arriving in a dark blue jersey with an orange stripe across the chest that reads “ISLES.” According to the NHL, this is one of the largest chest stripes made by Adidas for the league. The league continues to say the orange stripe represents the Plimsoll line painted on the hull of a ship. The Islanders only appearance in an outdoor game was in 2014, in a losing effort to the Rangers.
The two teams are squaring off on Saturday, February 18th, at 3:00 pm.
The NHL says the Stadium Series jerseys will be available for purchase on the league website on February 5.
