FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The Florida Panthers will be looking sharp when they host the 2026 Winter Classic.

On Wednesday, the NHL and Fanatics revealed the uniforms that will be worn during the annual outdoor game, which this year will take place at loanDepot park in Miami on Jan. 2 between the Panthers and the New York Rangers.

Florida is going with a bit of a throwback look, complete with a leaping panther logo and a color scheme very reminiscent of what the team wore when they last called Miami home.

Here is how the Panthers describe the uniforms:

“The Panthers NHL Winter Classic uniform pays homage to Florida’s hockey history and local military ties. The jersey features a vintage take on the original “leaping panther” crest, executed with felt and chain stitching that evoke hockey’s traditional craftsmanship. The same craftsmanship is apparent in the shoulder patch of the jersey. The jersey’s design, which includes decorative stitching with chevrons, is inspired in part by South Florida’s military heritage. Lastly, the jersey’s rear hem loop features the silhouette of the Panthers’ rat, honoring the team’s beloved and long-standing tradition of throwing rats onto the ice after home victories.”

This will be the NHL’s 17th Winter Classic and the first time the game has featured the Panthers.

In fact, this will be the first outdoor game played by the franchise.

The new Winter Classic gear will be available for purchase starting on Nov. 20 both online and in person at Pantherland in Sunrise and Fort Lauderdale.
