 As of 2020, the NHL is the only one of the four major professional American sports leagues whose uniforms are not outfitted by Nike.However, Nike did outfit a few NHL teams in the past, most notably with the Edmonton Oilers during the Wayne Gretzky era, and during the late 1990s for a few select teams, such as the Detroit Red Wings.A team's gear also includes color requirements for other equipment, while not requiring players to use a specific brand or model, so they may select equipment to their preferences.
