The Winnipeg Jets will wear four different sweaters this season.
The Winnipeg Jets have announced which sweaters will be worn for each of its 82 games during the 2023-24 hockey season.
Although sticking with their regular Jets 2.0 road whites for all away dates and standard home blues for the majority of games at Canada Life Centre, the team will wear two other sweaters at points this season at home.
With 41 home dates on the season schedule, 26 outings will use the standard blue home sweater. 11 times, however, the team will dress in its navy blue heritage classic outfits.
Three other occasions will see Winnipeg dress in its new Royal Canadian Air Force tribute sweater.
No, the math does not add up. That only gives 40 total dates. As per the Jets' information release, there is no listed sweater selected for the home contest against the St. Louis Blues on February 27. It is assumed that the typical home sweater will be worn.
With the use of the alternate RCAF sweaters, will will not be dressing in its reverse retros, reverse retro alternates, heritage whites or aviator blues this season - a move that comes with mixed response throughout the fanbase.
Fanatics will be taking over the NHL sweater contract for the 2024-25 season, meaning there could be another significant change on the horizon.
