PRESS RELEASE
MONTREAL – The Montreal Canadiens unveiled Friday their new jersey design for the 2015-16 season. The jersey debuted on stage at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft held in Sunrise, FL, when it was presented to the team’s first-round selection, Everett Silvertips defenseman Noah Juulsen. The changes to the jersey are the first since 2007 and the most extensive made to the iconic sweater in more than 40 years.
The team’s new jersey will be similar to that first worn by the Canadiens from 1941 to 1945 and then from 1946 through 1974 – a period in which the club laid claim to 13 Stanley Cup Championships – with several notable differences.
