NHL unveils reverse retro jerseys

[End on a Hinote]

Looks good to me.

C'mon man! Don't let the 90's nostalgia virus affect you. Those jerseys were hideous then and just the same today. Same goes for the original Coyotes tarps. Its like missing dial up internet.

Seeing as we had them up until 2006, it isn't really 90's nostalgia.

So the islanders is basically this? Orange numbers if I had to guess.

Born in the 90's. They are 90's babies.

I’m curious though it’s rumored the avs will have a nordiques reverse retro and the wild will have a north starts reverse retro but will it just be a recolored avs logo to match nordiques colors or a recolored wild logo to match north stars logo or vice verse.

Yeah from everything I heard the Wild will still use the Wild logo but it will be recolorized:

I think their is a shot that they may use the Minnesota M logo:

As for the Avs I think there is a chance they may use the Nordiques logo since they are the same franchise unlike the Wild and North Stars. Like the hurricanes and Whalers.

Really boring if that’s the case. Orange was the move if they wanted to keep with the theme, nothing here to be excited about... unless they did something unusual with the logo.

I mean they said 1980 was the year so I can’t imagine them changing the logo. Would be a cool twist though. I agree, on the surface its boring. Also, I couldn’t stand the navy blue jerseys. Always loved the Royal Blue so much better.

These are gorgeous

Caps fans have demanded t he return of the 98 jerseys for some time

So if that's the shoulder patch, we should expect the Weagle as the main logo?

I dunno.

I felt like they were a decent look for that era. IMO, they just haven't aged well.

Bring on Lady Liberty

 

[Adam Fox Time]

The Islanders had such a great opportunity to use a teal version of the Fisherman jersey or even this if they didn't want to bring back the Fisherman logo

They really failed on this one IMO

As a Devils fan, I really like what I am seeing so far.

Have they said when these will finally be revealed/available to purchase? I just want to buy one already.

Adidas "Okay teams, at noon you can release these teaser images."
NHL Teams "You got it."

Ottawa Senators "Hey everyone, we signed a guy that punches people for the farm team!"

Its probably because personally I always think blue when I think of Buffalo sports and the Sabers. I think they are a better suited style for a team like NJ or Ottawa

The colours look really sharp in those pics.
It should be ready in time for Christmas!

Considering the shoulder patch is from the 94-2006 uniforms, I wouldn't be surprised to see that era's eagle logo as the main (only recoloured to red and blue).

Some people in the thread think they will be fully revealed on Monday. For purchase though? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yup. Those and even the mighty ducks logo were mocked heavily back in the day. But now its retro and “cool”.

I will say without hesitation, the Coyotes and Sabres had awful jerseys in the late 90s. The only redeeming factor about either of them is the nod to local culture by the Coyotes, which is cool. But the color combinations are terrible, they don't look good on the ice, and the cultural nod doesn't keep the logo from being a mess. The Sabres jersey is just junk... they are not a red-white-black team, the logo is an eyesore, and the side-striping is a disaster.

The Ducks jersey is fine if you delete the logo, and from a marketing perspective the logo itself is a good design for what it was meant to accomplish. But in greater context, the name and logo selection were an embarrassment. It says a lot the past 30 years that something as blatantly minor-league as naming yourself after a movie series is no longer considered beneath the dignity of the NHL.

So yeah, don't drink the nostalgia kool-aid folks. The late 90s was a hellscape for jersey design. Lock the door and throw away the key.

The Sabres black and red jerseys were awesome and arguably the jerseys the Sabres had the most success in.

I wanted Vancouver to use yellow and orange but i really like what I see from the mock ups and the teaser
