Rangers Partner With Franchise Legend on Uniform Patch

The New York Rangers enter their 100th season in the NHL and are looking to make a statement with their play. Part of that statement is adding a bit of flare to the team’s uniform. The organization announced that they are partnering with franchise legend and former captain Mark Messier on a new patch addition to the team’s jerseys.

The Rangers and Messier’s company that he co-founded, GAME 7, shared the news that they will be the organization’s first-ever jersey patch partner. Beginning with preseason games and continuing throughout the regular season, both the home and away kits will feature a “GAME 7” patch on the shoulder. In the press announcement shared by Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (“MSG Sports”), they described the agreement as a “multifaceted partnership” beginning with the 2025-2026 season.

The partnership carries even more sentimental value due to the relationship between Messier and the Rangers. Fans of the organization admire the former captain for ending the team’s 54-year championship drought in 1994. A run that was highlighted by his famous victory guarantee during the Eastern Conference Finals and Messier’s ability to back up those clams on the ice in the biggest moments, it lives forever in the organization and NHL’s memory. Messier spoke about how much this partnership means to him in the press release.

“For me, the Rangers will always be family, and Madison Square Garden will always feel like home,” he said. “To now see GAME 7—something we built with the same passion and commitment to greatness that defined my years on the ice—become part of the Rangers’ journey is incredibly meaningful.
