NHL unveils reverse retro jerseys

[JianYang]

The nords used to use purple for their fleur de Lis and numbering back in the WHA days. The actual logo was the same colour as the nhl.

Perhaps the Avs are using their WHA concept replacing the purple with burgundy for the fleur de Lis, and numbering. Those jerseys used no nameplates which I feel are always a cool look on throwback.

This is what I was referring to. It says it was game worn so I assumed it's legit.

Still disappointed with how boring they went with the islanders jersey. A reverse retro theme and seeing what some of the other teams did the isles jersey is underwhelming. Hopefully it looks clean though.

It's almost as if they don't want to sell any of these things.

never seen that before….now i want to learn more about this purple

Yeah, the Nordiques never, ever wore purple... Red was more prominent in the colour scheme in the early days in the WHA, and they used a few different shades of blue, but never purple.

That particular jersey's colours have simply changed with age; everything purple was originally blue.

From the same season:

Favourite is the nords jersey.

Least favourite is San Jose.

Looks to me like that shirt is just old and some of the materials have changed color, the auction page says as much too. It was regular blue back in 1975.

Canes, wild, devils, Avs, and Blackhawks are my TOP5

penguins are close as well.

Dis the teams have a lot of say? Lou doesn’t like 3rds or anything too crazy but I thought it was all adidas. I guess the clubs have to approve the designs.

Exactly, my understanding is that adidas comes up with ideas and designs but the teams ultimately have final say on what they get to wear and promote. And as much as the team at Adidas are trying to push new and fun ideas, they're not gonna argue against someone like Lou.

I don’t buy that for a second. Bet it got bleached

Is it me or the Vegas jersey looks like Calgary's fire horse jersey, just in reverse?

Just once I want to see a Nashville jersey that doesn't look terrible.

 

[CanadianCoyote]

The previews show the Mighty Ducks logo on the shoulder, the same yoke design as the Wild Wing, the Wild Wing font on the back and the year chosen is '95.

They're 1000% doing the Wild Wing in white. This is what pretty much all the leaks have agreed on for the Ducks; only variable's been the color scheme.

I can only imagine the shitstorm that would've happened if the Coyotes used Jets 1.0 throwbacks before the Thrashers moved to Winnipeg, we saw the shitstorm of the Whalers debacle...and yet people are celebrating the Avs wearing the skin of the Nordiques and painting them in their own colors, despite no replacement team existing in Québec to soften the blow.

The way I see it, they should've saved the Nordiques stuff for games in QC itself. This comes off less as "respecting the history" and more using an iconic and beloved design for a nice cheap explosion of cash.

If this were about honoring history, Goulet's number would've stayed retired. Dallas doesn't let people use Broten's number, we don't issue out Hull or Steen's numbers. Hell, the Jets have kept the Dan Snyder Memorial Award from the Thrashers to honor their history.

I don't think a fan of the team that did this should be lecturing anyone on numbers that should be retired:

If the Devils go with the green jersey, I wonder what the pants and helmet colors are gonna be.

 

[FMichael]

Anxiously waiting for what my beloved Red Wings will come up with.

 

[AD Skinner]

If the Devils go with the green jersey, I wonder what the pants and helmet colors are gonna be.

I hope green but I would guess red

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I hope green but I would guess red

It probably going to be red and it's probably not going to look good. The jersey is beautiful though. It would be interesting to see cream colored pants with that green.

Well based off of these SJ, Van, Philly, NYI, Winnipeg and a few others really bombed this assignment. Devs, Wild, Avs, Stars, Canes and a few others did really nicely.

The coyotes jersey reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer eats the hot pepper and hallucinates a space coyote.

It's great.
