ADIDAS AND THE NHL UNVEIL SPECIAL-EDITION ADIZERO AUTHENTIC PRO JERSEYS FOR THE 2020 HONDA NHL® ALL-STAR GAME, REPRESENTING THE HOST CITY AND ALL 31 TEAMS

adidas and the National Hockey League (NHL) today unveiled the ADIZERO Authentic Pro uniforms for the 2020 Honda NHL® All-Star Game. This year’s jerseys pioneer a revolutionary look by pulling design inspiration from the league’s 31 teams and fusing those elements with the renowned musical scene from the Game’s host city, St. Louis.

The NHL’s best players will take the ice championing their team’s crest created with each team’s respective colorway. Last year marks the first time that team logos were featured on the chest of NHL All-Star jerseys in black and white colorways.

To pay homage to the original sweaters of the St. Louis Blues and to transform the city’s acclaimed rhythm and blues history into a tangible form, the 2020 Honda NHL® All-Star Game jersey’s striping mimics a musical staff along the front and sleeves of the jersey. As another nod to the host city, the stitching elements are conducted in an eye-catching silver thread, inspired by the iconic Gateway Arch.

For each of the four teams included in the 2020 Honda NHL® All-Star Game (one to represent each NHL division; Atlantic, Central, Metropolitan, Pacific), the home team will wear grey jerseys and the away team will be represented in white jerseys. Additionally, the design includes white, grey and silver detailing throughout the jerseys, along with a Blues’ trumpet floating above a St. Louis Gateway Arch graphic within the neckline.

At the forefront of innovation, design and craftsmanship, the adidas ADIZERO Authentic jersey takes the hockey silhouette to the next level by redefining fit, feel and lightweight construction. The adidas ADIZERO Authentic jersey is lighter, cooler, and stronger — featuring twill numbers that reduce weight, adidas Clima® technology that combines moisture management with breathability and maximized circulation to keep players cool, and Aeroknit fabric for a full range of motion and durability.

The special-edition jerseys will be worn exclusively for the 2020 Honda NHL® All-Star Game on Saturday, Jan. 25 (8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT, NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS) at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. The All-Stars will wear their respective ADIZERO Authentic Pro NHL team jerseys for the 2020 NHL All-Star Skills™ presented by New Amsterdam Vodka on Friday, Jan. 24 (8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT, NBCSN, CBC, SN, TVAS).

On Wednesday, Jan. 8, the special-edition adidas ADIZERO Authentic Pro NHL All-Star jerseys will be available online at adidas.CA, NHLShop.com, NHLShop.ca and at NHL team stores.
