Apparently, Edmonton could be throwing things back all the way to their WHA days with a white jersey that features orange shoulders and an orange-based logo.
This would match the pattern we&#8217;ve seen from the Oilers since Adidas started designing NHL jerseys a few years ago. The team&#8217;s current home jerseys with the orange-dominated body are a throwback to their very easy WHA days and the team has already leaned into the orange logo with the new alternate jerseys they released this year. Another WHA throwback and a further dive into the orange logo would make sense.
The Oilers rocked an orange logo between 1974 and 1979 in the WHA but didn&#8217;t bring it back until this year with their new alternate concept that features an orange logo and lettering. This fourth jersey could be different, featuring an orange circle with dark blue lettering instead.
I&#8217;m a big fan of throwback jerseys, alternates, and teams operating with expanded jersey catalogues, personally. I think the more the merrier when it comes to jerseys. I remember when the dark blue and orange logo alternate got leaked last year most of us thought it looked awful but it appeared much, much better when actually worn on the ice than it did in images. I&#8217;ll wait to I can see this jersey on the ice before I make a judgement.
