Team owner Bill Foley's most-used phrase — "Always advance, never retreat" — is embroidered on the inside collar. Working with the NHL and Adidas, the jersey completion process took two years.

The new jerseys will be worn with the home gray helmets and away white gloves. The crest on the front of the jersey is identical to the home and road jerseys, with the secondary sword logos on the shoulders.

Vegas doesn't currently have specific dates of when the jerseys will be worn, though special days like Nevada Day are an option and Saturday nights.
