The Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks are among the most sought-after NHL teams in the country when it comes to jersey interest, according to new research that highlights California as the top state for hockey merchandise demand.

The Lightning on Thursday—in partnership with the NHL and Fanatics—revealed the design for their 2026 Navy Federal Credit Union Stadium Series jersey, which the team will wear when outdoor hockey comes to Tampa and Raymond James Stadium on Feb. 1 for a matchup against the Boston Bruins.

This season alone, 21 new jerseys have hit the shelves — though the word “new” is used generously, as some of them are just recycled from previous years. We’ve taken the liberty of separating them into tiers, based on two factors:

The NHL is slowly leaning into more dark-on-dark jersey matchups to promote more sales, and fans are all for it.

One of the most popular sports this time around will once again be hockey, and you can now purchase Team USA hockey jerseys.

Describing the new theme as “NBA-ish” seems like an obvious tell of where the NHL might be headed with this mysterious new initiative. Since the 2017-18 season, NBA teams have rolled out “city-edition” jerseys on a nearly annual basis. Those uniforms aim to celebrate a city’s unique culture or identity in a way that primary team uniforms don’t do.
