Detroit – The Detroit Red Wings are set to debut their new jerseys for the 2025 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series, where they will face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 1, 2025, at Ohio Stadium. This highly anticipated game marks the first outdoor matchup for the Blue Jackets, adding excitement to an already thrilling series.
The new Red Wings uniforms were crafted by Fanatics, with input from both teams as well as the NHL, ensuring the designs resonate with fans while honoring the cultural and historical identities of the Midwest. Key elements of the jerseys reflect Detroit’s rich automotive heritage and long-standing hockey culture, which has shaped the city’s sporting identity.
Distinct features of the Red Wings jerseys include debossed speed stripes on the sleeves, conveying a sense of motion and speed, while the front crest prominently showcases the word “Detroit” in a unique script font. This design is inspired by automotive insignias, which serve as a nod to the city’s historic connection to the automotive industry.
Additionally, a laser perforation technique has been employed on the crest and numbers to recreate the texture found in classic car seat upholstery, further intertwining the city’s auto legacy with its hockey team. A special touch to the jerseys is a small loop tag that includes the eyes of the Red Wings’ octopus mascot, serving as a playful Easter egg for fans.
Enthusiasm for the new jerseys is palpable among the Red Wings players. They have described the design as both “beautiful” and “classic,” emphasizing the minimalistic approach that still pays homage to the team’s Original Six heritage. Players such as Dylan Larkin, Andrew Copp, and J.T. Compher have all expressed positive sentiments regarding the aesthetic of the new uniforms.
Fans eager to own the new jerseys will be pleased to know that the uniforms will be available for purchase at the Red Wings Team Store, with select merchandise expected to be available as early as February.
Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets have also revealed their new uniforms for the event. Their jerseys draw inspiration from the uniforms of historical Union Army soldiers, featuring a new “CBJ” logo on the shoulder that resembles a soldier’s slouch cap pin. In an interesting twist, the Blue Jackets have also included elements related to their iconic cannon logo, further tying into local and team lore.
To emphasize state pride, the Blue Jackets’ jerseys will have Ohio silhouette patches for the captains and alternate captains, enhancing the local connection for the fans. Although discussions were held about incorporating elements of Ohio State’s aesthetic into their uniforms, the Blue Jackets ultimately decided to stick with their existing color scheme, preserving their identity.
The matchup not only showcases an exhilarating rivalry but also features a blend of talent on both rosters, boasting a mix of Michigan alumni. This dynamic connection adds another layer of excitement to the Stadium Series outdoor game.
As the event approaches, Red Wings fans are encouraged to secure their tickets online for what promises to be a memorable matchup in an iconic setting. The excitement surrounding the new uniforms and the historic game demonstrates the growing anticipation from both teams and their fans as they prepare for this unique opportunity in the NHL calendar.
