Hurricanes announce special white Whalers throwback jerseys

The Carolina Hurricanes will be sporting a new look later this season.

Or, depending on how you want to look at it, they’ll be sporting an old look.

The Hurricanes released their throwback Hartford Whalers jerseys on Monday, which the team will wear during their annual Whalers Night, on Feb. 10 against the New Jersey Devils.

While the team has worn Whalers throwback jerseys in the past, this will be their first time wearing the classic home whites.

The jerseys celebrate the franchise’s roots from Hartford, Connecticut, where the team played from 1979-1997 before moving to North Carolina.

To add to the excitement, the Hurricanes will also wear the classic Cooperalls during warmups. Cooperalls are special waist-to-ankle hockey pants that were used by the Whalers during the 1982-83 NHL season.

The full Whalers collection is available at the on the Carolina Pro Shop’s website.
