We have the looks of two of the NHL’s top teams that will be wearing when they take their divisional rivalry outside.

On Thursday night, the NHL released the jerseys that the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins will don at the 2026 NHL Stadium Series.

The game will feature a “color rush,” with the Bruins wearing yellow-based jerseys and the Lightning wearing blue-based jerseys similar to their usual jerseys. A difference for the Bolts’ sweaters is that they won’t feature the lightning logo. Instead, the initials "TBL" go diagonally across the front, with a baby-blue fill. There are also hints of beads on the neckline and sleeves to pay tribute to Tampa’s “swashbuckling heritage.”

For the Bruins, "BOSTON" stands out on the crest, with a bear cut out underneath. The old-school "B" logo returns on the shoulder, with the team using white gloves for the game.

The game between the Atlantic Division foes is set for Feb. 1. The outdoor contest will take place at Raymond James Stadium, the traditional home of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

It will be the second outdoor game held in Florida this season. The first will see the Florida Panthers hosting the New York Rangers in the 2026 Winter Classic on Jan. 2 at loanDepot Park, home of the MLB’s Miami Marlins.

This season’s Stadium Series will mark the second time the Lightning will appear in an outdoor game. Tampa took on the Nashville Predators at Nissan Stadium in Tennessee, with the Bolts coming away with a 3-2 win.

Both the Bruins and Rangers will tie the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers for the second-most outdoor games in NHL history, as the Original Six franchises will each be playing in their sixth games without a roof over their heads.

Surprisingly, this will be Boston’s first time playing in a Stadium Series contest. The Bruins have played in the 2010, 2016, 2019 and 2023 Winter Classics, along with one of the NHL’s games in Lake Tahoe in 2021. Boston is 4-1 in outdoor games, with the team’s lone loss coming in 2016 against the rival Montreal Canadiens in Foxborough.
