The team's home jersey is black with red trim, while the away jersey is white with black and red trim. The club's [[logo]] is the head of a [[Legatus|Roman general]], a member of the [[Roman Senate|Senate]] of the [[Roman Republic]] in a gold semi-circle.<ref name="scanlan_may_91">{{Cite news |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |date=May 24, 1991 |last=Scanlan |first=Wayne |title=Senators show off new logo}}</ref> The original logo, unveiled on May 23, 1991, described the general as a "[[centurion]] figure, strong and prominent" according to its designer, Tony Milchard.<ref name="scanlan_may_91" />

From 1992 to 1995, the Senators' primary road jerseys were black with red stripes. The numbers were red for the first season but switched to white afterward. White stripes were added to the uniform in 1995. The white uniforms, worn on home games until 2003 and on road games until 2007, featured black sleeves, tail stripes with red accents, and black lettering.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory>{{cite web|url=http://thejerseybook.com/sens-1992-2018/|title=The History of the Sens Jersey, 1992-2018|publisher=The Jersey Book|access-date=October 30, 2019|archive-date=October 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191030124032/http://thejerseybook.com/sens-1992-2018/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1997, the Senators unveiled a red third jersey.

A new jersey design was unveiled on August 22, 2007, in conjunction with the league-wide adoption of the ''[[Rbk EDGE]]'' jerseys by [[Reebok]] for the [[2007–08 NHL season|2007–08 season]].<ref name="update-logo">{{cite web|url=http://senators.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=336188|title=Senators Introduce Updated Primary Logo|website=Ottawa Senators|date=August 22, 2007|access-date=August 22, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070826225618/http://senators.nhl.com/team/app/?service%3Dpage%26page%3DNewsPage%26articleid%3D336188 <!--Added by H3llBot-->|archive-date=August 26, 2007}}</ref> The jersey incorporates the original Senators' 'O' logo as a shoulder patch. At the same time, the team updated its logos and switched its usage. The primary logo, which, according to team owner Eugene Melnyk, "represents strength and determination" is an update of the old secondary logo.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=216706&hubname=nhl|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929155400/http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=216706&hubname=nhl |archive-date=September 29, 2007|title=Senators unveil new look for 2007–08|publisher=The Sports Network|date=August 23, 2007 |access-date=August 23, 2007}}</ref>

Before the 2008–09 season, the Senators unveiled a new black third jersey featuring the shortened "SENS" moniker in front. The centurion logo adorns the shoulders, and the striping was inspired by the team's original black jerseys.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>

In 2011, the Senators introduced a throwback-inspired third jersey design. Predominantly black, the jersey incorporated horizontal striping intended to be reminiscent of the original Senators' 'barber-pole' designs. Shield-type patches were added to the shoulders. The design of the shield-type patches was meant to be similar to the shield patches that the original Senators added to their jerseys after each Stanley Cup championship win. The patches spell the team name, one in English and one in French. The design was a collaborative effort between the Senators and a fan in Gatineau, Quebec, who had been circulating a version of it on the internet since 2009.<ref>{{cite web |website=Ottawa Senators |url=http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=590673 |title=Senators, fan team up to create a new vintage look |date=October 1, 2011 |access-date=October 3, 2011 |archive-date=June 17, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120617123215/http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=590673 |url-status=live}}</ref> The black third jerseys served as the basis of the Senators' [[2014 Heritage Classic]] jerseys, which used cream as the base colour.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>

In 2017, the Senators' jerseys received a slight makeover when [[Adidas]] replaced Reebok as the NHL's uniform provider. The number font was changed to match those of their recent third jerseys, which were retired after the 2016–17 season. Before the 2018–19 season, the Senators brought back the red jerseys worn during the NHL 100 Classic as a third jersey. The design featured a silver "O" in front with black trim amid horizontal black, silver and white stripes.<ref name=SensJerseyHistory/>

In 2020, the Senators reintroduced its 1997&ndash;2007 logo with the jersey set used from 1992 to 1995.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/07/13/report-ottawa-senators-to-bring-back-old-logo-in-2021/hockey-2/|title=Report: Ottawa Senators to Bring Back Old Logo in 2021|first=Chris|last=Creamer|date=July 13, 2020 |access-date=September 21, 2020|archive-date=September 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200930160553/https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/07/13/report-ottawa-senators-to-bring-back-old-logo-in-2021/hockey-2/|url-status=live}}</ref> The updated logo uses a gold outline as opposed to red. The new uniforms, while largely resembling the originals from the 1990s, retained the lettering font used since the Adidas takeover. In contrast, the white uniforms retained only the black and red stripes along the upper arm sleeves. Both the home and away uniforms include a red band across the very bottom of the jerseys.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.nhl.com/senators/news/ottawa-senators-introduce-new-primary-logo/c-319089730 |title=Ottawa Senators Introduce New Primary Logo |author=Senators Communication |date=September 18, 2020 |access-date=September 19, 2020 |archive-date=October 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029084432/https://www.nhl.com/senators/news/ottawa-senators-introduce-new-primary-logo/c-319089730 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.nhl.com/senators/fans/jersey-reveal |title=Back to Our Roots: The Ottawa Senators Original Jersey |author=Senators Communication |date=October 6, 2020 |access-date=October 7, 2020 |archive-date=November 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201106233440/https://www.nhl.com/senators/fans/jersey-reveal |url-status=live}}</ref> In addition, the Senators unveiled a "Reverse Retro" alternate uniform; the design was of the original 1992–93 uniform but with red as the base colour.<ref>{{cite news|title=Reverse Retro alternate jerseys for all 31 teams unveiled by NHL, adidas|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-reveals-adidas-reverse-retro-jerseys/c-319633384|publisher=National Hockey League|date=December 1, 2020|access-date=December 5, 2020|archive-date=December 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201211011731/https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-reveals-adidas-reverse-retro-jerseys/c-319633384|url-status=live}}</ref> In the 2022–23 season, the Senators wore "Reverse Retro" uniforms based on the alternates they wore from 1997 to 2007, but with the current 2-D logo in front, black as the base colour and less white elements.<ref>{{cite news|title=NHL Reverse Retro jerseys for all 32 teams unveiled by adidas|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/2022-adidas-nhl-reverse-retro-jerseys-reveal/c-336511528|website=NHL.com|date=October 20, 2022|access-date=October 20, 2022|archive-date=October 20, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221020150818/https://www.nhl.com/news/2022-adidas-nhl-reverse-retro-jerseys-reveal/c-336511528|url-status=live}}</ref>
