Detroit — The Detroit Red Wings have unveiled their new jerseys for the much-anticipated 2025 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series, which will take place on March 1 at Ohio Stadium against the Columbus Blue Jackets. This matchup marks a significant milestone as it is the first outdoor game for the Blue Jackets.
Designed by Fanatics with collaborative input from both teams and the NHL, the Red Wings’ new uniforms are steeped in the cultural and historical identities of the Midwest. Key features of the jerseys include debossed speed stripes on the sleeves and a front crest that artistically displays the word “Detroit” in an elegant script font. These design elements pay homage to the city’s renowned automotive industry and its storied hockey heritage.
One standout aspect of the new uniforms is the use of a laser perforation technique on the crest and numbers, which closely resembles the texture of classic car seat upholstery, reinforcing Detroit’s identity as the birthplace of the American automobile. An additional playful detail is a small loop tag showcasing the eyes of the Red Wings’ octopus mascot, adding a unique touch to the design.
Red Wings players have shared their excitement about the new jerseys. Capturing the overall sentiment, team captain Dylan Larkin commented on the aesthetic appeal of the design, highlighting it as both “beautiful” and “classic.” Fellow players, including Andrew Copp and J.T. Compher, have echoed similar sentiments about the visual impact of the uniforms.
These new uniforms are not only attractive but also embody a minimalistic approach while honoring the Red Wings’ classic look as an Original Six team. Fans interested in the new gear will have the opportunity to purchase the jerseys at the Red Wings Team Store, with select merchandise expected to be available as early as February.
On the other side of the ice, the Columbus Blue Jackets have also revealed their unique jersey design. Their uniforms draw inspiration from the historical attire of Union Army soldiers, featuring a distinctive “CBJ” logo on the shoulder that is reminiscent of a soldier’s slouch cap pin. Furthermore, the Blue Jackets have integrated design elements linked to their iconic cannon logo into these special Stadium Series jerseys.
Reflecting local pride, the jerseys include Ohio silhouette patches for captains and alternate captains, enhancing the connection to the community. Although discussions included the possibility of incorporating elements from Ohio State University’s aesthetic into the uniforms, the team ultimately chose to retain their traditional color scheme.
The competition also highlights a rich bond and rivalry between the two teams, as both rosters feature a mix of Michigan alumni. This factor adds depth to the outdoor matchup, promising an exciting game that celebrates both teams’ regional pride.
Red Wings fans eager to attend the Stadium Series game can secure their tickets online, ensuring they will not miss this historic event. With the introduction of these new jerseys, both teams aspire to make the 2025 NHL Stadium Series a memorable showcase of hockey in the great outdoors.
