USA Hockey Unveils 2026 Olympic & Paralympic Jerseys

With five months until the world’s best hit the ice in Milan-Cortina, USA Hockey has officially revealed its 2026 Olympic and Paralympic jerseys, a pair of sweaters rooted in history, built for performance, and designed to remind fans of a legendary American run.

This year’s look pulls direct inspiration from the 1960 U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team, the squad that shocked the world in Squaw Valley by winning America’s first-ever gold medal in the sport. Now, more than six decades later, Team USA is chasing gold again this time wearing a modern uniform that connects past glory to present ambition.

The diagonal “USA” lettering across the chest immediately grabs attention. Classic, bold, and unmistakably vintage, it mirrors the typography worn by the ’60 team. Fans of the New York Rangers will also recognize the diagonal wordmark, giving the jersey an unmistakable throwback vibe with a contemporary Nike finish.

This isn’t the first time Team USA has leaned into the 1960s aesthetic. During the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, the men’s team wore a set inspired by the same era and famously defeated Canada 5–3 in group play. That game marked the Americans’ first win over Canada at the Olympics since 1960.

With the NHL returning to the Olympic stage for the first time since 2014, and with February’s 4 Nations Face-Off rivalry matchups still fresh in fans’ minds, anticipation is sky-high for another USA–Canada showdown. History may not repeat itself but the jerseys certainly do.

The 2026 uniforms released in both white and royal blue were built by Nike using its latest Nike Swift technology, engineered to reduce weight and enhance aerodynamics. While sleek and modern on the ice, the sweaters are filled with subtle historical cues:

A gold-accented USA Hockey crest near the shoulder serves as a nod to America’s recent international success on the world stage.

A small silicone triangle at the neckline, a signature Nike design touch.

Inside the collar, the phrase “Land of the free, home of the brave.” This hidden detail also appeared in the 2014 Sochi jerseys, tying multiple Olympic eras together.

Despite the classic influence, the design isn’t confined to the past it’s built for high-speed play in a tournament where every edge counts.

This new 2026 look represents more than nostalgia. It’s a reminder of American resilience, growth, and belief that history can be rewritten again—on one of the biggest stages in sports.

Notre Dame Hockey Unveils New Alternate Jersey Featuring Sport-Specific Leprechaun Logo

The Fighting Irish are adding a new twist to their historic identity. Notre Dame has unveiled its second sport-specific Leprechaun logo this time for hockey and immediately placed it front and center on a brand-new alternate jersey for the 2025-26 season.

Following the debut of the Football Leprechaun logo back in August, the South Bend powerhouse revealed its new Hockey Leprechaun mark just ahead of the men’s team’s home opener.

The Kings Reveal Third Jersey

In one of the boldest and most unique unveilings in sports history, the Los Angeles Kings stunned fans and media alike by debuting their brand-new third jerseys live on Opening Night against the Colorado Avalanche. After months of speculation, hints, and fan theories, the Kings simply took the ice wearing them. No buildup, no leaks, no warning. Just a jaw-dropping, real-time reveal that had the hockey world buzzing.

The new third jersey itself is a sleek, dark design, anchored in black and accented with a wave of shimmering silver. This bold look will primarily be worn at home, as dark jerseys typically are, allowing the Kings to fully showcase their new aesthetic in front of their fans. The choice of a dark base not only ties back to the team’s iconic look but also differentiates it from their previous third, a white uniform that was limited by logistical challenges when hosting games.

Front and center on the chest sits the Crown, making its first full-time appearance on a jersey since the 2022–23 Reverse Retro series and its first on a third jersey since the 2012–13 season. That year, of course, marked the Kings’ transition into the era that brought them their Stanley Cup victories in 2012 and 2014. The return of the Crown feels both nostalgic and fitting, connecting today’s Kings to their championship heritage while pushing the brand forward with a modern edge.

The details seal the deal. Complementary silver tones flow throughout the uniform, from the arm and hem striping to the team’s updated “Chrome Dome” helmets. This new wave of silver carries a mirror-like shine that captures the arena lights perfectly, giving the entire look an unmistakable futuristic vibe, one that reflects both the franchise’s Hollywood roots and its modern, championship-caliber identity.

Florida Panthers Unveil 2025 Stanley Cup Championship Rings

The Florida Panthers are once again on top of the hockey world, and now, they have the hardware to prove it. The Panthers celebrated their back-to-back championships as players, coaches, and staff received their 2025 Stanley Cup Championship Rings during a private ceremony at the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale.

Handcrafted in 14-karat white and yellow gold and featuring over 450 diamonds and genuine rubies, the ring captures both the legacy and the grit of a team that defended its title “against overwhelming odds.”

“When designing this ring we wanted to appropriately memorialize the story of the 2024-25 Florida Panthers,” said Panthers Owner & Alternate Governor Teresa Viola. “This ring symbolizes our continued pursuit of excellence, our commitment to the community and the values embodied by our players, coaches and staff.”

The ring’s top showcases ‘PANTHERS’ in 14-karat yellow gold, sitting above two Stanley Cups that represent the team’s 2024 and 2025 titles. Surrounding these Cups are 81 diamonds and 60 rubies, symbolizing the back-to-back championships. The perimeter features the words ‘STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS’, also set in gold and adorned with an additional 145 diamonds, while another 122 diamonds and 18 princess-cut rubies complete the design.

“The 2025 ring features details that bring the back-to-back champions’ story to life,” said Chris Poitras, SVP and GM of The Champions Collective. “We are honored to present it to the Panthers organization.”

Each ring is personalized for its recipient, featuring their name and title on the left side, along with a panel shaped like the team’s primary shield logo. The right side displays ‘FLORIDA’ in yellow gold above the Leaping Cat logo, framed by two palm trees that represent the palms lining Amerant Bank Arena.

White gold palm trees wrap around the interior, leading to a prowling panther engraving on the outer edge, a sleek finishing touch that embodies the team’s fearless spirit.

Inside the ring, engravings tell the story of the Panthers’ journey:

“WE APOLOGIZE TO NO ONE,” the team’s rallying mantra, is boldly etched above the playoff series results.

The date of their championship-clinching victory — June 17, 2025 — is immortalized.

And finally, a small black rat engraving pays tribute to one of the most beloved fan traditions in hockey.

With over 450 gemstones totaling approximately 16.15 carats, the 2025 Stanley Cup ring isn’t just a symbol of victory—it’s a tribute to a team that has defined resilience, confidence, and culture in South Florida sports.
