TKO Jersey Co. presents

The Great Jersey Rescue

Nominate a deserving team. They could win up to 20 custom jerseys, free.

Maybe they're stretching one more season out of worn-out jerseys. Maybe they're fundraising one bottle drive at a time. Maybe they've done something special for their community, and it's their turn to get something back.

Tell us why they've earned it and what a fresh set would mean to them. TKO picks the finalists, then the community votes. The winner gets the full rescue.

Your own team or one you're rooting for. Hockey and ringette teams across Canada.

Nominate a Team

Nominated in the Ugliest Jersey contest? You're still in.

No purchase necessary. Nominations close October 8, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Open to hockey and ringette teams across Canada. Read the full rules.

How it works

Three steps. One rescue.

Your reason is what gets read and voted on, so make it sound like you. Funny works. Honest works. A little dramatic works. Tell us what shape the jerseys are in, what makes this team worth rooting for, and what new jerseys would mean to them.

1

Report the emergency.

Fill out the short form below with the team's name and why their jerseys need rescuing. Nominations close October 8.

2

We pick the finalists.

Our team reads every nomination and shortlists the stories that stand out. We check with each team before they become a finalist.

3

The community votes.

On October 13 we post the finalists' stories on Facebook and Instagram. Reactions and likes on those posts decide the winner. Winner announced October 30.

The prize

The rescue package

The winning team gets a full custom redesign and up to 20 Elite Hockey Jerseys with names and numbers. Our designers work with the team from the first 3D mockup to a final file they'll actually want to wear, then we build it in 3 weeks once the design is approved. Shipped anywhere in Canada, tax and shipping on us.

Got more than 20 on the roster? Extras are available at our regular price, plus tax and shipping, and buying them doesn't change a thing about the contest.

We'll document the whole rescue, from the first design chat to the team skating out in the new look, with the team's permission.

Every finalist wins something.

The other finalists each get a $200 gift card toward a TKO order. No minimum, no expiry, and whatever you don't spend stays on the card.

Voting

How voting works

Each finalist gets one official post on our Facebook and one on our Instagram, featuring their nomination story. We add the reactions on the Facebook post to the likes on the Instagram post. Highest total at 11:59 p.m. ET on October 27 wins, once we've checked the counts and the rules.

One reaction or like per person per finalist on each platform. Vote for as many finalists as you like. Comments, shares, and reposts don't count as votes, and neither does anything automated or bought.

Every finalist gets a rally kit to share with their team and their town. Bring your people. Keep it fair.

Questions

Before you ask

Can I nominate my own team?

Yes.

Can I nominate another team?

Yes. We'll check with that team before they become a finalist, so nobody ends up featured without wanting to be.

What sports can enter?

Hockey and ringette teams.

We nominated in the Ugliest Jersey contest. Do we need to re-enter?

No, your nomination carries over. If you'd like to add the story behind it, fill in the form. It helps your chances of making the shortlist.

Can I nominate more than one team?

Yes, one form per team.

Do we have to buy anything or sign up for emails?

No. Neither is required and neither changes your odds.

Do we have to share or tag people?

No. Just the form. Share if you want to, but it doesn't earn extra entries or votes.

We're in Quebec. Can we enter?

Yes. The contest is open across Canada.

Who picks the finalists?

Our team does, based on need and story: jerseys that are worn out, falling apart, borrowed or missing, and teams whose nomination shows why they deserve a fresh start. The community picks the winner.

The team we nominated doesn't know yet. Is that okay?

Yes. We'll reach out to them before anything is posted.

What happens to our nomination?

We use it to review the entry. If the team is a finalist, we share the reason, your first name, and the team's name on the finalist posts. Anything beyond that, we ask first.

How long does the rescue take?

Design depends on the team's feedback. Production is 3 weeks after the design is approved. Shipping is on top. We'll confirm the schedule with the winning team directly.

The rules, short version

Plain language. No fine print.

Hockey and ringette teams. Any team based in Canada, youth to semi-pro. The pros can fix their own jerseys.
Nominate September 24 to October 8 using the form on this page. Ugliest Jersey nominations made on Facebook or Instagram before the change still count.
You need to be an adult living in Canada to nominate. Nominate your own team or somebody else's. A nominated team gets to say yes before it becomes a finalist, and can say no.
Nothing to buy, follow, share or sign up for. None of it counts and none of it helps.
October 9 to 12: our judges shortlist teams on need and story. Shortlisted teams get a private message to confirm details.
October 13 to 27: finalists each get one official post on Facebook and one on Instagram. Reactions plus likes on those posts is the score. One per person per platform. Bots and bought votes get tossed.
Around October 30: the winner, once the team answers a skill-testing question and signs the paperwork.
The prize: a full redesign and up to 20 Elite Hockey Jerseys with names and numbers, tax and shipping covered. About $1,486 in value. The other finalists each get a $200 gift card, no minimum, no expiry.
Already ordering with us? You're still eligible. Win, and we apply the prize to that order instead of sending a second set.
Quebec teams welcome. The full rules are in English and French.
Facebook and Instagram have nothing to do with running this. Questions go to us, not them.
