Recent rumors surrounding the 2023 Heritage Classic in Edmonton have suggested the Oilers might look to a pre-WHA team for design inspiration—specifically, the Edmonton Mercurys. In the 1950s, they won international competitions representing Team Canada. It’s worth looking up their story if it’s new to you.

That said, this concept from Chris Fortier pre-dates those rumors. He put together this Mercurys-inspired design for the Oilers way back in late 2020. Think this could work for the big anniversary outdoor game next fall?
