Winn Brothers Tone Down Viral Olympics Outfits for U.S. Women's Hockey Gold Medal Match

The sweet reason behind their decision to wear their sister's jersey for the final game.

Published on Feb. 21, 2026

For the majority of the U.S. Women's Hockey Team's run at the Winter Olympics, the Winn brothers were seen wearing wild and over-the-top USA-themed outfits in the stands as they cheered on their sister, Haley. However, when the gold medal match came around, they decided to tone down their viral looks and simply wear their sister's jersey, explaining that the focus should be on the players on the ice, not them.

Why it matters

The Winn brothers' outfits had become an unexpected and fun storyline during the Olympics, helping pull more attention to the women's hockey team. By shifting the focus back to their sister and the team's historic gold medal win, they highlighted the true meaning and impact of the achievement.

The details

The brothers - Ryan, Tommy and Casey - had previously worn elaborate American flag-themed outfits, including matching eagle-faced tracksuits and masks. However, for the gold medal match, they decided to simply wear their sister Haley's USA Hockey jersey, explaining that 'it's not about us, it's about the women on the ice' and all the athletes who have paved the way and inspired the next generation.

What they’re saying

“Yeah, a USA Hockey jersey. Why? Because it's not about us. It's about the women on the ice. It's about the legends who have paved the way. It's about those who are changing the game. It's about all the other incredible women who once dreamed about becoming an Olympian, like our sister, who are now inspiring the next generation.”

It was a heartwarming example of sibling pride and support.
