Winnipeg Jets to wear rainbow-themed warm-up jerseys for annual Pride night
WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets will wear rainbow-themed warm-up jerseys for their annual Pride night celebration when they host the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.
The jersey features the Jets logo in rainbow colours, multicoloured numbers and “Hockey Is For Everyone” patches on the shoulders. Players will also use sticks with rainbow-coloured hockey tape during warm-up.
Both the jerseys and sticks will be auctioned off during Pride month in June, with proceeds going to the You Can Play Project and Manitoba’s Rainbow Resources Centre.
Rainbow Harmony Project, a Winnipeg choir for LGBTQ people and their allies, will sing the national anthem.
