Highlights
  • Sylabrush revealed three new Jake Allen masks for the 2026-27 season
  • The set leans on vintage lines and the Devils’ red horns logo
  • Read below for the full look at the buckets and where Allen sits in New Jersey’s crease

Jake Allen has three new lids for the season, and all of them lean old school.

Sylabrush, the airbrush team of Sylvie Marsolais and Alexandre Mathys, posted the New Jersey goaltender’s 2026-27 set on Saturday. Devils reporter Anthony Corona passed the photos around a few minutes later. Take a look at the trio:

Two of the shells are black and the third is a bright chrome white. Each one puts the Devils’ red horns logo right on the forehead, over a deep red chin and a bare silver cage.

No busy scenes, no photorealistic portraits, no hidden Easter eggs. Sharp red and white striping runs down the sides and the rest is left alone.

Marsolais and Mathys kept the explanation to one line in the caption on their own post:

“Vintage lines with a retro feel”

Here’s the reel with all three angles:

This is familiar ground for the three of them. When the shop painted Allen’s first Devils mask in March 2024, weeks after the trade from Montreal, they tagged that one #VINTAGE too:

Allen is heading into year two of the five-year, $9 million deal he signed with New Jersey on July 1, 2025. The $1.8 million cap hit runs through 2029-30.

Last season brought 17 wins, a .904 save percentage and one shutout. That shutout carried some extra weight, since beating Utah gave Allen a win against 33 different franchises, one more than Marc-Andre Fleury and the most any goalie has ever managed.

Behind him, the depth chart looks different. Nico Daws is lined up for real backup minutes, David Rittich arrived this summer as insurance, and Jakub Malek has the AHL net in Utica to himself.

New Jersey went 42-37-3 for 87 points a year ago and finished 10 points outside a playoff spot. The roster has already shifted this offseason, including the deal that sent Simon Nemec to Calgary.

Those masks get their first real ice time when the Devils open camp next month.
