NHL fans have received a first look at the Utah Hockey Club’s inaugural uniforms.
The Hockey News’ Sammi Silber shared a photo of Utah rookie Josh Doan wearing the uniform at the NHLPA Rookie Showcase in Washington, D.C.
The uniform features “Utah” printed diagonally across the front, with blue and white stripes around the arms, midsection and legs.
The jersey will make its NHL regular-season debut during Utah’s Oct. 8 season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Utah uniform was also visible in a group photo from the rookie showcase shared by NHL.com’s Adam Kimelman. Doan is standing fourth from the left.
Doan’s uniform appears to have a patch on each shoulder, which could contain the inaugural season logo revealed by the franchise in early August.
The logo, which is topped by mountain peaks, reads “inaugural season” above a banner that says 2024-25 and the club’s primary logo.
The new Utah look wasn’t the only jersey that made its debut at the rookie showcase, where trading card company Upper Deck takes official photos of select rookies for their 2024-25 cards.
Anaheim Ducks rookie Cutter Gauthier also displayed his team’s new look, which mixes the club’s historic Mighty Ducks logo with its modern orange color scheme.
The NHL’s newest club began its relocation to Salt Lake City following the sale of the Arizona Coyotes in April.
The Utah Hockey Club announced the franchise’s temporary name in June but stated that a permanent name would be chosen before the 2025-26 season.
Unlike the hockey club’s name, the colors the franchise described as “rock black, salt white and mountain blue” will remain the team’s official color scheme.
That means that even if the club adopts a new name and primary logo in 2025, Doan’s rookie showcase look offers a good idea of what Utah players will be wearing going forward.
