Oilers unveil new alternate jersey to be worn seven times during 2025-26 season

This jersey features white as its base colour, with orange stripes that are prevalent on the bottom, and a blue collar, one of many nods to the city’s work ethic.

Unlike most alternate jerseys, this one has a base colour of white, meaning that when the Oilers wear it at home, the away team will wear dark colours.  It’s set to debut on Oct. 28 against the Utah Mammoth, but will be worn on the road on Dec. 4 against the Seattle Kraken, Dec. 6 against the Winnipeg Jets, Dec. 23 against the Calgary Flames, and Jan. 31 against the Minnesota Wild.

Additionally, it will act as a road jersey in back-to-back games against the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators on Jan. 12 and 13th, respectively. The jersey will be worn a total of seven times in the 2025-26 season.

After having an alternate jersey from 2019-20 until 2023-24, the Oilers elected not to have a third jersey throughout the 2024-25 season. Their latest third jersey was the navy blue jersey with an orange logo, the same jersey they wore throughout the 2022 postseason. In 2023-24, they played in a Heritage Classic against the Flames, with that jersey being one of their best third jerseys in recent times.

This jersey was leaked a few weeks ago, but it looks better than anticipated. Unfortunately, it’s not the original Oil drop, nor their dark jerseys they used from the 1996-97 season until the 2006-07 season, but anything beats the pumpkin jerseys they used from 2017-18 until 2021-22 (the first iteration used from 2015-16 until 2016-17 were fine).

Time will tell if the Oilers will use this more than the seven times that are scheduled, but overall, they’re pretty solid.
