I doubt that I will buy one of the reverse retro jerseys, but I will almost certainly get some of the reverse retro branded merch.

Count me in the group who isn't at all angry about the Blues schedule. I'm slightly annoyed as a fan, but I think it has been good for the actual team.

It allowed us to take another team bonding trip before the start of the season, which our organization seems to value pretty highly. We got to play Columbus on the tail end of a B2B and their 3rd game in 4 nights. They looked gassed down the stretch and that helped us get 2 points. We're going to be able to play our #1 goalie in at least the first 4 games of the season without putting too much wear on him. This definitely isn't the ideal schedule, but I'd much rather be in our shoes than be in the shoes of the teams that have already played 4 or 5 games in the first 8-9 days of the season.

I am very happy with the schedule, as college soccer is still going on now so I would be missing Blues games
 
Wow the reverse retros are boring this year. I don’t care if the jerseys are ugly as long as some creativity went into them. But the vast majority look so bland. The Lightning have a “so bad it kind of works” look going, so points there. The Devils went for a Rockies color scheme, although they look like the New Jersey Panthers now. The Sabres look great, so nothing to say there. But other than that, I can’t say anything positive.

The color scheme works for the Blues jersey, but I really don’t like it when the logo changes. Especially for something like that prototype nonsense.

Why have a random dancing while wearing it in poor lighting so we cannot actually see the jersey?
couldn't they actually just have showed it?
or does it suck in normal light or something?

Personally I’m not crazy about the Blues one, but it’s not horrible. Need to see it with helmets/gloves/socks to really tell.

The wild and jets are very nice IMO.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know what kind of colors for the full kit you can add to make the jerseys look better. They’ll either stay… that, or look significantly worse.

I’ve been surprised before, but I feel pretty confident on that prediction.
 
By process of elimination I conclude the guy in the dead center of that image is wearing a retro Canucks jersey but I have no idea what that is. Nice of Colorado to honor the Devils and nice of Minnesota to honor the Stars.
 
I like the Panthers one. It’s tacky and nicely “South Beach” IMO. As much as it pains me to say it, I really like the Bruins white Pooh bear. Chicago and Detroit are both dreadful. Tampa’s is nearly in “so bad it’s good” range.
 
I like the Blues retro jersey, you need to be a bit more adventurous with these types of jerseys. The Chicago and Detroit ones are absolutely horrid. Jerseys like Columbus, Minnesota, Seattle, and Ottawa look too similar to their current ones, kinda boring.

I'd like to see blue helmets and pants with mostly yellow gloves. Yellow socks with similar blue/white striping to the jersey and I think it would be a nice look...or at least as pleasing as you can get with bright yellow as the base color.

I wouldn't want these as a regular jersey, but I think they can look good as a one-off 'look at the outrageous color scheme' jersey, I think they look pretty good.

You're right. That is the Canucks reverse retro. Skating Lumberjack. Not sure when that logo was used.

Here's just a still photo without the model shimmying all over the place.

I don't mind the shimmying.

Regarding the retros, there are only a couple that I hated right away. Montreal just doesn't seem right. It's basically the same color as the Panthers, which is absolutely the right call for them as you said. I don't like Calgary and I wanted to hate on Arizona before suddenly realizing I kind of like it. I can't even hate on Chicago and Detroit because they are clearly going for the "100 years ago" look, which is probably accurate.

As Oberyn said, there are a few that are more or less the same as their standard uni, but I have to give Adidas credit for doing a pretty good job on these. I initially didn't like the Blues when I first saw it, but it's kind of growing on me as well. Cool logo and they captured a 1960s feel pretty well.

My guess is the whole look ends up looking similar to what Team Sweden has been wearing forever.

And honestly, that’s not a bad look!

This round of reverse retros is a much better look across the entire league. I love ours this time around too, and might have to spend some money on it!
