BREAKING: Sharks To Debut New Stealth Jersey?

Are the San Jose Sharks getting a new Stealth jersey?

That’s what it looks like, according to Carter Richard of the Jersey Nerds.

There’s no word yet when these jerseys will debut, though it’s worth noting the Adidas branding in these pictures, because this year is the final season that Adidas will be producing official NHL jerseys. Fanatics takes over in 2024-25.

So could we see new San Jose Sharks jerseys as soon as this year? Are these Adidas samples that will be executed by Fanatics next season? Or are they fashion jerseys that will never be used in a game?

The San Jose Sharks debuted their all-black Stealth jerseys in Sept. 2018. They were, memorably, revealed by new Sharks acquisition Erik Karlsson in a pre-season game:

They were last worn in the 2021-22 campaign.

Famously, the Sharks’ below-average 15-19-2 record wearing the Stealth jersey became an inside joke among fans.

Last season, the San Jose Sharks revealed both new home and away jerseys, highlighted by teal helmets, an all-teal home kit, teal pants, and the elimination of orange as a secondary color.

A new black Stealth third jersey would certainly contrast last year’s teal-heavy approach. Hopefully, they’ll have a better record in them!
