The Jets’ forward unveiled a photo of the team’s new pants via his Twitter account Tuesday. The pants are navy blue, with the Jets’ script logo featured at the bottom of the right leg. The left leg features the ‘W’ from Warrior Hockey, the manufacturer.

On Monday, Wheeler Tweeted: “No jerseys for a while. Just got pants and gloves from Warrior… I’ll throw some pics on tomorrow,” before posting the pants photo Tuesday afternoon.
