Edmonton went to its orange jersey for home games last season but will go back to the blue jerseys home games against the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 29, the Calgary Flames on Dec. 9, Winnipeg Jets on Dec. 31 and Vancouver Canucks on March 7.
All three Oilers jerseys will come complete with a 40th-anniversary shoulder patch, which features five Stanley Cups, to commemorate the organization's number of NHL championships, and the numbers of each of their six Hockey Hall of Fame representatives.
