The National Hockey League introduced the adidas ADIZERO jerseys for the 2017-18 season. The style was designed to take the hockey uniform and jersey silhouette to the next level by redefining the fit, feel, and construction of the jersey. The jerseys feature new cresting materials and construction technology, adidas Clima® technology to deliver breathability and enhanced performance, and stronger threads and fabrics for durability. Beginning with the Set 1 jerseys on September 19, 2017 and continuing until December 16, 2017, the NHL 100th Anniversary patch was sewn onto the right sleeve below the sleeve numbers.
The adidas logo was featured on the back neckline with a white logo embroidered onto black twill on the Home (black) jerseys and a black logo embroidered onto white twill on the Road (white) jerseys. The inside neckline of each jersey features "Made in Canada" in three languages (English, French and Spanish), the adidas logo, and the jersey's numerical size in three languages screened on. Inside the left side seam is a manufacturer's washing instructions tag.
Jerseys were lettered and numbered by Pro Knitwear of Pittsburgh, PA. Each jersey featured a set tag sewn inside the rear hem.
