Team USA unveiled its highly anticipated hockey jerseys for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics on November 26, 2025, during a special segment on NBC’s “Today” show. Two-time sled hockey Paralympic gold medalist Jack Wallace revealed the red, white, and blue designs that will be worn by both the men’s and women’s teams, as well as the Paralympic sled hockey squad. The jerseys symbolize America’s hockey heritage and Olympic future, with NHL stars set to return to the Winter Games for the first time since Sochi 2014.
The unveiling comes as analysts anticipate a strong Olympic tournament. The men’s competition begins February 11, 2026, with the gold medal game set for February 22, giving fans their first look at uniforms that could bring the U.S. its first men’s hockey Olympic gold since the 1980 “Miracle on Ice.”
Team USA 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic hockey jerseys pay homage to 1960 gold medal design, featuring diagonal USA lettering across the chest. Home jerseys use bright red letters with white outlines on royal blue; away uses blue letters with red outlines on white.
