Centennials and Cowboys - Jersey used by Hitmen in Corral Series.
Wranglers: Used currently

So, my money is on the Stampeders, one name that hasn’t been used, who won something, ties in with CESC, and a Stampeders jersey recolored or modified, like the original HC one was relating to the Tigers.



And, why not go with the Edmonton Flyers, who won Allan Cup two years later in 1948 (2023 is 75 years since winning, ties in well). Could stick with green and mustard and have current CFL football team colours for both teams, or do a recolor to current blue and pylon orange.

I would love this. The rumours of "red shoulders, off white base" seem to support this. Simply the reverse (away version?) of the picture above.

I would suggest the 1952 Edmonton Mercurys would be a better choice for the Oilers. Hopefully the powers that be go with as true as possible replications (including crests) as opposed to "recoloured insprirations" with Flames & Oilers logos.
