SUNRISE, Fla. – The National Hockey League (NHL) and Fanatics, the authentic outfitter of the NHL, today unveiled the Discover NHL Winter Classic uniforms to be worn when the reigning two-time Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers face off against the New York Rangers on Jan. 2, 2026 at loanDepot Park in Miami. The matchup will make NHL history as the southernmost outdoor matchup in League history and will mark the 17th NHL Winter Classic since the tradition began in 2008.
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.
