The Winnipeg Jets are leaning into the night sky this season.
On Monday, the club, the NHL and Fanatics introduced Winnipeg’s new Hometown Remix uniforms, a special-edition look built around the Northern Lights and Manitoba’s aurora-filled skies. The design is part of a leaguewide rollout across all 32 NHL teams, with each club creating a jersey that reflects its own hometown identity.
Winnipeg’s version goes dark and vivid all at once. The base is built to evoke a night sky, with blue and light-green details that mirror the Northern Lights.
The sleeves fade from blue into green, and the lower portion of the jersey carries a full aurora scene. Even the crest got the treatment, with colours and highlights meant to capture that glowing effect.
Player names and numbers were also designed with a blended look so they appear lit up against the darker background.
“We wanted this jersey to reflect something that is uniquely connected to Winnipeg and Manitoba, and the Northern Lights felt like a natural choice,” said Dorian Morphy, Senior Vice President, Brand and Chief Marketing Officer.
“They’re something that makes our province so special, and we saw an opportunity to bring that to life in a unique way for our team and our fans.”
The Jets will wear the jerseys eight times during the 2026-27 regular season, starting Tuesday, Nov. 17 against the Ottawa Senators at Canada Life Centre. The full slate includes home dates against Vegas on Nov.
21, Utah on Nov. 23, Chicago on Dec.
10, Minnesota on Jan. 19, New York on Jan.
21, Seattle on March 23 and Colorado on March 25.
The project took shape over two years through a collaboration between the NHL, Fanatics and its member clubs. For Winnipeg, the concept also nods to the city’s hockey past, acknowledging a franchise that left in 1996 before NHL hockey returned to Manitoba in 2011.
“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.”
The Jets also unveiled a matching line of apparel and headwear, including hoodies, T-shirts, fleece and outerwear. Both Authentic Pro and Premium versions of the jersey went on sale Monday through True North Shop, Jets Gear locations, NHLShop.ca and Fanatics.
The new look will hit the ice for the first time in just over two weeks when Winnipeg hosts Ottawa.

Josh Morrissey Return Suddenly Looks Much Closer For The Jets
Josh Morrissey took a meaningful step toward getting back into the Winnipeg lineup on Monday, skating in a non-contact practice jersey as he edges closer to a return from injury. For a club that leans heavily on its top defenseman in all situations, seeing Morrissey back on the ice at least changes the feel around the blue line, even if the final hurdle is still ahead.
Head coach Scott Arniel said the timeline is moving in the right direction, and the next checkpoint is simple enough: Morrissey needs to shed the yellow jersey before he can be considered fully ready. Elsewhere on the injury front, Dawson Mercer sat out practice after getting nicked up and will be evaluated before the next game, while Cole Koepke was able to skate and may be in line to help the Jets soon.

Oilers Look More Dangerous Than Their Playoff Versions For One Reason
The early-season power rankings have not been kind to Winnipeg, and it is easy to see why the Jets keep sliding in the conversation. While Edmonton has opened with a sharper edge under Mike Babcock and Connor McDavid has already put together a record-breaking assist streak, Winnipeg has been stuck on the wrong side of the standings picture, with the kind of underlying numbers that make a slow start look even more troubling.
For the Jets, the concern is not just where they sit right now, but how quickly the margin for error is disappearing. The broader NHL picture has teams like Montreal drawing attention for goaltending and Toronto trying to sort out mixed results beneath the surface, while Winnipeg is left trying to steady itself before the gap grows any wider.

Jets And Moose Turn November Games Into A Cause Fans Can Join
November in Winnipeg will carry more than the usual hockey energy, with the Jets and Manitoba Moose both taking part in the NHL and AHLs Hockey Fights Cancer initiative all month long. The teams are lining up special games at the end of November, and the focus goes beyond the ice, with fundraising efforts designed to support local organizations that help youth facing cancer.
Fans will have several ways to get involved, from raffles and auctions to 50/50 draws and autographed items, while minor hockey teams can also join in by staging their own games and fundraisers. It is the kind of community-wide push that gives the campaign some real reach, and the late-November events should give supporters a chance to turn a pair of games into something bigger than a routine night at the rink.
