Key Takeaways
- The Winnipeg Jets unveiled their Hometown Remix jersey on November 2, 2026, with the design inspired by the northern lights over Manitoba.
- The jersey will be worn eight times this season, starting November 17 at home against the Ottawa Senators.
- The NHL describes the Jets look as a full aurora borealis scene on the hem, with night sky colours and a blue to light green gradient on the sleeves.
- The other wear dates run through March 25, closing against the Colorado Avalanche.
What The Jersey Looks Like
The Jets have gone dark navy, lit up by the aurora. The NHL says the lower sleeves fade into a blue to green aurora inspired gradient, and the inside of the hem opens into a complete aurora scene. The team said in its unveiling message that the look brings the home fans know and love to life in a way they can wear proudly.
Reports dating back to May had pointed to an aurora theme for Winnipeg. Until today, fans had not seen the finished product. That changed on Monday when the team officially unveiled the jersey on social media, as part of the NHL and Fanatics league wide Hometown Remix program for all 32 teams.
When The Jets Will Wear It
Winnipeg will wear the Hometown Remix sweater eight times this season. The full list, as reported by Illegal Curve Hockey, is:
- November 17 vs Ottawa Senators
- November 21 vs Vegas Golden Knights
- November 23 vs Utah Mammoth
- December 10 vs Chicago Blackhawks
- January 19 vs Minnesota Wild
- January 21 vs New York Rangers
- March 23 vs Seattle Kraken
- March 25 vs Colorado Avalanche
The November 17 debut comes at home, and it gives Jets fans a new date to circle after a brutal start to November. Winnipeg enters the week on a nine game winless run after the 7 to 0 loss in Carolina on November 1, so a fresh look will not fix the on ice problems on its own. It does give the team and its fans something bright to talk about while the results catch up.
Why The Northern Lights Fit Winnipeg
The NHL put it plainly in its own description of the Jets jersey. For Winnipeg, the Hometown Remix uniform draws inspiration from one of Manitoba’s most spectacular natural wonders: the Northern Lights. The design captures the colour and movement of the Aurora Borealis, bringing a distinctly Manitoban element to the team’s look.
That is the strongest part of this unveiling. Every team in the league got a local story for this program. Winnipeg’s story is written in the winter sky, and it is one every Manitoban recognises instantly, whether they have watched the lights from a backyard in the city or from far up north.
The jerseys, along with headwear and fan gear in the Hometown Remix line, are available through the Fanatics network, NHL Shop and team stores, according to the NHL.
