Overview
- The NHL and Fanatics revealed Florida and New York’s 2026 Winter Classic uniforms for the Jan. 2 game at loanDepot Park, the league’s southernmost outdoor event and Florida’s first.
- Florida’s design revives a hand-crafted take on the original leaping panther with darker red striping, a state-flag shoulder patch and a hidden rat silhouette on the hem loop, with input from the Viola family.
- New York’s look extends the club’s Centennial theme with an off-white base, “New York” diagonally across the chest and an enlarged red apple shoulder patch incorporating an NYR wordmark.
- loanDepot Park’s retractable roof is expected to be closed for roughly four days to build the rink and then opened for team practices and the game.
- The Rangers enter 5-0 in regular-season outdoor games since 2012, and the NHL’s Florida slate also includes Lightning vs. Bruins at Raymond James Stadium on Feb. 1.
