Dan Near from Adidas actually mentioned that in an article for the Athletic.

NHL Reverse Retro 2022: Inside the process of designing your team's new jersey

Dan Near from Adidas takes us inside the creation of the Reverse Retros and how his team is "trying to make hockey a little bit cooler."

You all know that hockey has a lot of traditions and rigidity around what is acceptable and what’s not, but this is the type of initiative that is designed to say, “We’re gonna bring some younger people, some more diverse people.” You saw the diversity in models and the styling and the music that we used to launch this thing. It’s not a coincidence. This is all about growing the game if you speak in a really, really broad sense.​

Fair enough.

A bit offtopic, I'm just so glad the robo-penguin is back. This was my first touch to NHL:

Pens should make the robo a permanent third. I know it divides their fanbase, but I think it's actually better looking than the skating penguin. Obviously they made the right choice coming back to that original logo but still, for me the robo-penguin is the one.

Lmao, Ville Nieminen and Ossi Väänänen in the Finnish NHL studio for Seattle-Chicago, discussing Reverse Retros. Väänänen says his least favorite is Colorado.

Love left-handed Foote. He was the greatest all-time puck moving D in the alternate universe.

Only during certains games because they are forced to, but never outside of that.

Nope. The Penguins cannot be trusted with third jerseys. About 18 times in their history (okay, seriously though it was about three or four times) their third jersey ends up being the regular jersey, and more often than not when that happens it ruins everything (see: Minnesota, Ottawa, Washington, not Columbus).
