The University of Denver hockey team officially unveiled the hockey program’s 75th Anniversary jersey that the team will wear on and off throughout the 2024-25 season.
The jersey was first revealed in the third period of the Pioneers’ game against the University of Wisconsin on Oct. 25 at Magness Arena.
The jersey is a throwback to the one that was originally worn by the team when the program first began play in the 1949-50 season. The red sweater, breezer, socks, gloves and helmet are trimmed with yellow, the school’s original colors. Six yellow strips are displayed on the jersey sleeves and socks.
The original interlocking DU is featured just below the left shoulder on the front of the jersey, while the player’s number is just above a solid yellow stripe in the middle of the uniform. Denver’s 75th anniversary and NCHC patches are featured on the shoulders and the text, “Always A Pioneer” is written on the inner collar.
The Pioneers will wear the uniform for the first time on Saturday, Nov. 9 during the program’s 75th Anniversary Weekend against Lindenwood University. Alumni from each decade of Denver hockey will be in attendance to celebrate the program’s diamond jubilee.
The jersey went on sale exclusively to students on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. at the DU Bookstore on-campus location and now can be bought at the Magness Arena Pioneer Shops as well. Only in-person purchases are being accepted at this time.
