Winnipeg Jets Revive Legacy White for Heritage Classic Sweater
The Winnipeg Jets are turning to the original team’s identity for their latest Heritage Classic sweater. When they face the Montreal Canadiens outdoors at Princess Auto Stadium in Manitoba on October 25, the Jets will wear a white throwback inspired by the franchise’s looks from the 1980s and 1990s.
The design also recalls Winnipeg’s 2016 Heritage Classic sweater, which paired a white base with the team’s legacy crest. This edition revisits that combination with felt construction and stitched details that give the familiar look a new finish.
At the center of the sweater is the Jets’ legacy crest, rendered in felt with chain-stitched detailing. The treatment adds texture to the logo while reinforcing the vintage character of the uniform.
Fanatics, the NHL’s authentic on-ice outfitter, worked with the league and both teams on the Heritage Classic designs. For Winnipeg, the result puts the original Jets identity at the forefront, using the white throwback as the foundation for a sweater rooted in the city’s hockey past.
The back numbers feature a two-layer felt treatment, carrying the material choice from the crest through to another prominent part of the sweater.
That consistency helps bring the design together. The crest’s chain stitching and layered felt numbers give the uniform a tactile quality, adding depth to a look fans will recognize from earlier eras of Winnipeg hockey.
The Heritage Classic returns after a three-year break, bringing the NHL’s Canadian outdoor series to Manitoba for the Jets-Canadiens matchup.
It will be Winnipeg’s third outdoor game, with all three appearances coming in the Heritage Classic. The new sweater builds on that event history while revisiting the white-and-legacy-crest combination worn in 2016.
For a game played in front of their home province, the Jets are leaning into a familiar identity. The white base connects the sweater to the original Winnipeg team, while felt and chain stitching give this Heritage Classic edition its defining details.
