To recognize the culture, talent and creativity of Indigenous communities, the Edmonton Oilers held an Indigenous Celebration Night on Monday, November 28th when the club hosted the Florida Panthers at Rogers Place. During this game Oilers players wore special Turtle Island jerseys during the pre-game warm up for the purposes of auctioning off all in support of charity. These Adidas made pro quality navy blue practice jerseys with fight strap were customized with the very special Edmonton Oilers Turtle Island logo . It was created in collaboration with Edmonton based indigenous designer and artist Lance Cardinal of Bigstone Cree First Nations, and features the Oilers logo incorporated into the body of a turtle, which in Cree lore represents creation, wisdom and spirituality. The turtle is also a reference to Turtle Island, the land mass upon which all 32 NHL teams compete. The stylized eagle feathers represent one of the highest honours that can be bestowed in Cree culture, in traditionally significant colors representing air, water, fire and earth. Please note the team also wore this set of jerseys on Saturday March 4th, 2023 when they visited the Winnipeg Jets who held a similar celebration night in support of the Aboriginal Sport Achievement Centre. On the back of the jersey the respective player's surname is displayed in white letters on a matching navy blue name bar. Their respective jersey number is also displayed on the back and sleeves in the colorful indigenous number pattern. This particular jersey is a size 60G and is indicated as such in the collar. The jersey features a special uniform set tag sewn into the inside bottom hem that reads "Edmonton Oilers, "INDIGENOUS CELEBRATION GAME, PRE_GAME WARM UP SET, Nov 28th, 2022 vs Florida & Mar 4th, 2023 @ Winnipeg" along with the facsimile signature of Jeff Lang the team's Head Equipment Manager. In addition, there is an Edmonton Oilers Game-Worn Jersey Inventory tag #A00279 sewn into the inside bottom hem. This particular jersey was worn by Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner for both games mentioned above and is crested with his #74 and surname on the back. As is to be expected there is very little to no visible wear on the jersey considering it was worn for only the pre-game warm-up. Finally as an added bonus the jersey has been nicely autographed by Stuart Skinner in black paint marker on the back number making it ready for display in your Oilers memorabilia collection! The jersey will come complete with a Letter of Authenticity from the Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club.
