"It's time to Fly the 48!" In 2023 the Winnipeg Jets will be honouring the RCAF Centennial by rocking these Anniversary jerseys based on the 1948 Gold Medal Winning Team for a few select games this season.  The jersey is a tribute to the incredible work and service provided by Canada’s military institutions over the last century.

Nicknamed “the Forty-Eight”, the jersey is a collaboration between the Winnipeg Jets, adidas, the RCAF and the NHL and pays homage to the 1948 jerseys worn by the gold-medal winning RCAF Flyers. The design features an “RCAF Blue” base, replica red and blue striping, and the Winnipeg Jets logo in place of the classic RCAF roundel, upon which the Jets logo is inspired.

PRE-STITCHED

Our pre-stitched method features Tackle Twill letters and numbers that are custom-made to match your jersey. These elements are carefully aligned and glued down to the fabric, then secured with a heat press, ensuring a clean and durable finish.

HAND STITCHED

With hand-stitched customization, we take the process a step further. After the Tackle Twill letters and numbers are custom-made and applied using the heat press, each piece is sewn directly onto the jersey, providing added durability and a professional, handcrafted touch.

Customized In-House by CoolHockey’s expert production team. Exclusive use of tackle twill fabric to ensure style and durability. All customization elements licensed and approved by the NHL & NHLPA

Washing Guidelines:

• Machine wash cold: Ensure the jersey is cleaned gently without shrinking or damaging the fabric.
• Use only non-chlorine bleach, when needed: Chlorine bleach can cause fabric discoloration and weaken fibers.
• Tumble dry on low heat: To prevent shrinking or heat damage, use a low-heat setting when drying.
• Avoid dry cleaning: The chemicals used in dry cleaning can affect the integrity of the jersey’s materials.
• Touch up with a cool iron: If needed, gently iron the fabric to smooth wrinkles, but keep the temperature low.

Extra Care Tips:

• Wash and dry inside out: This protects the jersey’s graphics and logos from wear and tear during the wash cycle.
• Remove promptly after wash: Taking the jersey out of the washer immediately prevents wrinkles and excess moisture buildup.
• Do not iron over decoration: Avoid ironing over logos, numbers, or names to maintain their appearance.
• Wash with similar colors: This prevents color bleeding and keeps your jersey vibrant.
