The Edmonton Oilers are facing off against the Winnipeg Jets in the 2016 NHL Tim Horton’s Heritage Classic on Oct. 23 at Investors Group Field in Manitoba, and we may get to see those jerseys sooner rather than later. According to TSN’s Gary Lawless, the NHL will be in Winnipeg Friday, where they will likely make the announcement regarding details about the outdoor game, including the sweaters.

NHL is coming to Winnipeg on Friday. Expect them to unveil #nhljets #oilers Heritage Classic jerseys and alumni rosters at Portage and Main — gary lawless (@garylawless) August 3, 2016

The first Heritage Classic was in 2004, when the Edmonton Oilers faced off against the Montréal Canadiens. It ended in a 4-3 loss for Edmonton, and their sole outdoor game. The last Heritage Classic came in 2014, when the Ottawa Senators faced off against the Vancouver Canucks.

This should be a great experience for the Oilers, considering there have been many outdoor games since then, including the Winter Classic and the stadium series match-ups, none of which Edmonton has been a part of. Now the team will get to suit up and play an outdoor game against Winnipeg, with a new look roster in wake of rebuilding team.

When it comes to the jerseys, there are a lot of different options for Edmonton. For instance, they could throw=back to the retro orange jerseys, some what similar to the ones they were this past season as part of the tribute to their last season at Rexall Place. Or, they could wear the blue sweaters with the orange Oilers wordmark. In addition, they could wear the alternate 2006 flying oil drop jerseys. Post your suggestions in the comments section.

The jerseys, as well as more Heritage Classic announcements will reportedly takes place at portage and Main Friday afternoon. Alumni rosters are also expected to be announced, and the Oilers roster is expected to include Wayne Gretzky, Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri and Mark Messier. As the days countdown to the season, we can hardly wait for Oct. 23.
