The Carolina Hurricanes are getting a new look built around Raleigh.
On Monday, the team, the NHL and Fanatics unveiled the Hurricanes’ Hometown Remix uniform, a special edition design that leans into the fans, fabric and culture of the city. The jersey is part of a leaguewide program that includes all 32 clubs and was created with Fanatics, the NHL’s on-ice uniform provider, and the league. The project took two years to develop.
The Hurricanes will wear the Hometown Remix uniforms 11 times during the 2026-27 season, starting Nov. 7 at home against the Chicago Blackhawks at Lenovo Center.
The full schedule includes home dates against Edmonton on Nov. 21, Ottawa on Nov.
28, Toronto on Dec. 5, Pittsburgh on Dec.
26, Nashville on Jan. 2, Anaheim on Jan.
23, Los Angeles on Jan. 30, Buffalo on Feb.
13, Tampa Bay on Feb. 27 and New Jersey on Mar. 13.
The design pulls heavily from Raleigh itself. The front crest features Stormy for the first time, giving the jersey a mascot-centered look.
The shoulder patches take cues from city architecture, the sleeves include debossed oak leaves, and the hem carries a City of Oaks skyline. The jersey uses a storm grey base with red and black accents.
Matt Sutor, the Hurricanes’ chief marketing officer, said the club wanted something that reflected the city while still feeling different from its regular uniforms.
“We've always taken pride in finding ways to stand out, and this jersey is another example of that,” said Matt Sutor, Carolina Hurricanes Chief Marketing Officer. “We wanted to create something that celebrates Raleigh and the place we call home, while introducing a look that's different from our traditional uniforms. From the Struttin' Stormy crest to the smaller details throughout the jersey, we think it's a fun, unique way to celebrate our hometown and the community we represent.”
The league said the concept was meant to connect each team’s look to its own market.
“Few symbols in sports carry the history, pride, and emotional connection of an NHL sweater,” said Brian Jennings, NHL Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Partnerships and Club Strategy Officer. “Hometown Remix builds on that legacy in a fresh and authentic way, celebrating the fans, culture and communities that make each NHL market unique.
Together with Fanatics and our Clubs, we’ve created designs that are rooted in local identity and tell a story about the cities and fans they represent. We’re incredibly excited to bring the program to life and see that passion reflected both on the ice and in the stands.”
Fanatics said the project was built through close collaboration with each club.
“Hometown Remix represents the most exciting initiative our team has designed and delivered with our partners since we hit the ice with the NHL in 2024,” said Dom Fillion, Vice President of Creative Design for Fanatics. “What makes this program so special is the collaboration with each club and together leaning into the history, culture, fabric and identity of every city and fan base to make sure these felt as authentic and personal as possible. We can’t wait to see them worn by the teams on the ice and the fans in the stands all season long.”
Jerseys, apparel and headwear are available now through carolinaproshop.com, NHL.com, Fanatics and Carolina Pro Shop. The Hometown Remix line also includes Authentic Pro and Premium jerseys, along with men’s and women’s fan gear such as hoodies, tees, fleece and outerwear, available through the Fanatics network, including NHLShop.com, NHLShop.ca and Fanatics.com, plus team stores and the NHL Shop NYC flagship store.

Hurricanes Send Two Finns Into A Bigger Spotlight Than Ever
The Hurricanes are headed back overseas in 2026, with Helsinki set to host their Global Series matchup against the Seattle Kraken. It will be Carolinas first game outside North America since 2010, and it gives the organization a rare chance to put two Finnish players in front of a home-country crowd. Juuso Vlimki and Jesperi Kotkaniemi have both earned spots on the trip, adding a little extra meaning to a showcase that already carries plenty of novelty for a team that does not often get this kind of stage.
For Vlimki, the timing makes the moment even more notable after his strong showing since joining the lineup recently, and he has already sounded genuinely excited about the chance to play in Finland. Kotkaniemi, meanwhile, has remained a steady part of the lineup while the Hurricanes work through injuries, and his presence should matter in a series that will be watched closely back home. Carolina will get the usual business of an NHL road trip, but for these two, the trip to Helsinki is shaping up as something much bigger than that. [Read more 🡒]
Canes Bring Momentum To Nashville With One Big Test Ahead
The Hurricanes head to Nashville carrying one of the leagues hotter stretches, having won 12 of their last 14 games and looking every bit like a team that has settled into its identity. Pyotr Kochetkov has been a big part of that surge, coming off a performance that stood out even by his standards, while Carolina keeps finding ways to bank points as the schedule tightens and the road trip pressure rises.
Nashville, meanwhile, has been trying to reshape its roster under GM Chris McFarland, but the results have not matched the activity just yet, with the Predators sitting at five wins in 14 games. Carolina is also still navigating its own injury picture, with Taylor Hall and Jordan Staal working back, and the matchup offers one more test before the Hurricanes can turn their attention to the next stretch of the season.
