Red Wings Uniform Schedule 2026-27: Every Sweater and When They Wear It

By Jake Daneshgar·
Track the Detroit Red WingsNHL

The Detroit Red Wings open 2026-27 at Little Caesars Arena on Friday, October 2 against the New York Rangers. This is the full Red Wings uniform schedule: every sweater in the closet, what each one is for, and a game-by-game record of when it goes on the ice.

We build these before the season rather than after it, so the closet is here from day one and the dates fill in as they are announced. Third jerseys and any one-off specials get added here as Red Wings announce them. The NHL schedules its alternates in blocks rather than all at once, so this page changes through the autumn.

The Red Wings Uniform Closet for 2026-27

Home
Red with the Winged Wheel, a single white stripe on each sleeve and at the hem, white numbers and the arched vertical nameplate. Essentially unchanged since the 1930s and unchanged again for 2026-27.
Away
White with the Winged Wheel, single red sleeve and hem stripes and a red collar. Unchanged for 2026-27.
Centennial Sweater (Last Season's)
The 2025-26 Centennial uniform, solid red with a chain-stitched 1930s Winged Wheel, off-white Falcons-era striping, a lace-up collar and the barber-pole number font, was worn at more than a dozen home games. Detroit calls 2026-27 its 101st season and has not announced whether the sweater returns.
Nov 18 Centennial Game
The Original Faceoff against Boston on November 18, 2026, one hundred years to the day after the Cougars' first NHL game. The uniform for the night has not been announced.
Hometown Remix (Coming)
The league-wide Fanatics special edition, one sweater per club, built around each city's local culture. The NHL says the designs arrive shortly after the season opens on September 29; nothing has been revealed yet. Our Hometown Remix tracker grades each one as it lands.

Expected calls follow the league default: the dark sweater at home, the white on the road. Third jersey and Hometown Remix nights are added the moment the Red Wings announce them, and every played row flips to the sweater actually worn, updated the morning after the game.
