Senators unveil new red alternate jerseys for 2025-26 season
After months of leaks and speculation, the Ottawa Senators have officially unveiled their new alternate jerseys for the 2025-26 season and beyond.
The predominantly red jerseys feature black and metallic gold accents, with large stripes on the arms and waist and a black shoulder yoke. The centurion crest is also more ornate than in previous iterations, with intricate details on its helmet and red plume.
The Senators released a video teasing the new uniforms to their social media accounts on Wednesday morning, which coincided with longtime defenseman Chris Phillips modelling the jersey at an event for fans and media at the Canadian Tire Centre.
According to The Athletic‘s Julian McKenzie, the Senators will wear the uniforms 13 times in the upcoming season, with their first on-ice deployment coming on October 16 against the Seattle Kraken.

— Graeme Nichols (@GraemeNichols) September 3, 2025The Senators have worn numerous alternate uniforms throughout their existence, which dates back to the 1992-93 season. Their current primary home jerseys are black with red and white accents, with their road whites essentially mirroring them.
Between 1999 and 2020, the Senators typically wore red uniforms at home, meaning that any alternate jerseys they used were almost always black (with occasional exceptions). This new red uniform is the first alternate jersey the Senators have introduced since they switched back to their classic black look at home ahead of the 2020-21 season.
The Senators are riding high after completing their first successful season in nearly a decade, having qualified for the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs thanks in large part to the contributions of core players Tim Stützle, Jake Sanderson, Brady Tkachuk, and Linus Ullmark — all of whom will undoubtedly be popular names for fans buying customized versions of the new alternate uniforms.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Carolina Hurricanes introduced new uniforms of their own — predominantly white ones, to be worn during road games.
