NHL and Fanatics Unveil 'Hometown Remix' Jerseys Honoring Local Culture for All 32 Teams
Boston in brown for the first time in more than 100 years
Mark
So what actually launched on Monday?
Mimi
A league-wide program called Hometown Remix. Every team gets a special edition jersey, plus apparel and headwear, built around local culture. Florida, Chicago and San Jose wore theirs first, Monday night.
Mark
What does local culture look like on a jersey?
Mimi
Chicago's sleeves have four debossed six-pointed stars, from the city flag. Winnipeg has an aurora borealis scene on the hem. Boston is in brown for the first time in more than 100 years.
Luke
That Boston line is the league's framing. I'd want to know what that means for the Bruins' history before leaning on it.
Mark
Fair. And the Panthers?
Mimi
Their design nods to a graphic beach tee, with a front crest that remixes the throwback shoulder patch logo.
Mark
Is this new for Fanatics?
Mimi
Not entirely. They've done special uniforms for the Winter Classic, Stadium Series, Heritage Classic and the 4 Nations Face-Off. But this is the first league-wide program of the partnership.
Luke
Worth saying the praise comes from the NHL's Brian Jennings and Fanatics' Dom Fillion, both in a press release. Nothing here tells us how fans react or how the jerseys sell.
Mark
So what's unknown?
Luke
Sales, reception, and the designs for most of the 32 teams. The source describes only a handful.
Mimi
What we do know is the schedule: each club will wear its jersey several times this season.
El Pulso
- Three clubs, Florida, Chicago and San Jose, pulled on untested jerseys for the first time on Monday night, opening a league-wide rollout.
- Every one of the 32 teams now has its own Hometown Remix design, raising the stakes for how fans receive a tradition they hold dear.
- Designers built each uniform from scratch, weaving in Chicago's flag stars, Winnipeg's aurora hem and Florida's beach-tee motifs.
- Each club will wear its version several times this season, so the program's reception will unfold game by game as the schedule runs.
On a Monday night in early November, three NHL teams took the ice in uniforms their fans had never seen, marking the first appearance of a league-wide program that ties each sweater to the place it represents. The NHL and Fanatics have framed Hometown Remix as a way to honor the city beneath the crest, letting landmarks, flags and regional light find their way onto the fabric. In the long story of the hockey sweater, a garment that has carried team identity for generations, this is an effort to make the jersey speak more directly for each community, and the rest of the league will follow across the season.
On Monday night, the Florida Panthers, Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks skated out in jerseys no fan had seen before. They were the first teams to wear the NHL's new Hometown Remix uniforms, the opening move in a program that now reaches every club in the league.
The NHL and Fanatics announced the program as a league-wide special edition effort covering uniforms, apparel and headwear. Its stated purpose is to celebrate the fans, the fabric and the local culture of each team's home city. Fanatics, the league's official uniform provider since the 2024-25 season, spent two years building these designs with each club, treating local landmarks and motifs as central rather than decorative.
The examples show the range. Chicago's green jersey carries four debossed six-pointed stars on each sleeve, a nod to the city flag. Florida's design takes its cue from a graphic beach tee, with a crest remixing the throwback shoulder patch. Winnipeg's hem holds a full aurora borealis scene, and Boston's brown sweater is the first time the Bruins have worn that color in more than a century.
Brian Jennings, the NHL's senior executive vice president, said sweaters carry the weight of history and that Hometown Remix builds on that legacy by telling a story about each city and its fans. Dom Fillion, Fanatics' vice president of creative design, called it the most exciting initiative his team has delivered with the league, crediting close work with each club.
The program is the first league-wide effort of the partnership, following Fanatics' earlier special editions for the 4 Nations Face-Off, the Winter Classic, the Stadium Series and the Heritage Classic. Its designs are also slated for the 2027 All-Star festivities. What comes next is the remaining clubs' debuts, which will arrive through the season as each team schedules its Hometown Remix games.
On Monday night, three NHL teams skated out in jerseys none of their fans had seen on the ice before. The Florida Panthers, Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks were the first to wear the league's new Hometown Remix uniforms, the opening act of a program that now reaches every club in the league.
The NHL and Fanatics announced Hometown Remix on Monday as a league-wide special edition program covering uniforms, apparel and headwear. The stated aim is to celebrate the fans, the fabric and the local culture of each team and the city it calls home. Each club will wear its version several times over the rest of the season.
Fanatics became the league's official on-ice uniform provider and authentic outfitter ahead of the 2024-25 season. The two sides have spent the past two years developing the connection behind each team's design. The jerseys were built from scratch, with local landmarks, motifs and culture worked in as central elements rather than afterthoughts.
The examples the league offered show the approach. Chicago's jersey has a vivid green base, the club's current logo and gold shoulder patches. Each sleeve carries four debossed six-pointed stars, a reference to the Chicago city flag. Florida's version takes its cue from a graphic beach tee, with a front crest that remixes the logo from the team's throwback shoulder patch. Winnipeg's jersey puts a full aurora borealis scene on the hem. Boston's sweater is brown, the first time in more than 100 years the Bruins have worn that color.
Brian Jennings, the NHL's senior executive vice president and chief partnership and club strategy officer, said in a press release that few symbols in sports carry the history and emotional weight of an NHL sweater. He described Hometown Remix as building on that legacy in a fresh way, with designs rooted in local identity that tell a story about each city and its fans. He said the league was excited to see that passion reflected on the ice and in the stands.
Dom Fillion, Fanatics' vice president of creative design, called it the most exciting initiative his team has designed and delivered with its partners since the company began working with the NHL in 2024. He credited collaboration with each club for making the jerseys feel authentic and personal, and said Fanatics looks forward to seeing them worn by players and fans all season.
This is the first league-wide program of the partnership, though not Fanatics' first special design work for the NHL. The company previously produced special edition uniforms for marquee events, including the 4 Nations Face-Off, the NHL Winter Classic, the Stadium Series and the Heritage Classic. It has also worked with several teams on anniversary and centennial jerseys, and its designs are slated for the upcoming 2027 All-Star festivities.
What to watch next: the remaining clubs' on-ice debuts, which will come through the season as each team schedules its Hometown Remix games.
