NHL unveils reverse retro jerseys

[Kranix]

Also lol at Lou not letting the Islanders do anything crazy. It's just their normal jersey!! Hahaa

I will never find it acceptable to wear the logo of a team you stole from another market, so the Avalanche and Hurricanes jerseys, while objectively the best-looking, immediately go to the bottom of the list for me. (I'd have been OK with a Whaler-style jersey with the Hurricanes logo, and the Avs should have thrown back to the Rockies; that at least was in-market.)

That said, I might as well rank them by tiers.

Tier 1: Wild (go to this colorway full-time, please), Devils (absolutely love the Christmas colors), Capitals (This would be an amazing third, if Leonsis can be convinced to go back to the original jerseys for their home and road), Coyotes, Canadiens
Tier 2: Blues (as long as they only wear them once or twice), Blackhawks, Penguins, Kings (I liked the mockups with a yellow logo better, but still quite good), Lightning, Maple Leafs, Sabres, Rangers (docking them a tier for missing the point; would have been tier 1 if red)
Tier 3: Flyers (Tier 1 Phantoms jersey, though), Blue Jackets, Oilers, Panthers (I don't think I've ever liked a jersey of theirs), Senators, Sharks (fine, but they totally should have reversed their original jerseys), Ducks (like the Blues, please only wear this once or twice, but it'll be fun in limited doses; just wish Wild Wing's jersey was a different color)
Tier 4: Bruins, Canucks (the gradient can die now, thanks), Flames (you managed to both miss the point and throw back to your worst idea ever. How?), Golden Knights, Islanders (is this in any way different from what they wore back then?), Jets (just no), Predators, Red Wings (the silver stripes are so much worse than I expected), Stars (same for the silver name)
Stop that: Avalanche, Hurricanes

Can't afford any of them, but if I was going to buy one, it'd be the Wild jersey. I think they're the big winners here.

The Dallas one might be the worst jersey I have ever seen

I like the original Senators jerseys alot.. might have to pick one up.

 

[The Joker]

I like a lot of them. Love that they tried something. Could be the start of a new era of not so bland jerseys.

Especially LOVE the Wild one.

Winnipeg’s printer ran out of ink??

Our teams jersey is so boring and lame. Grey? Nothing different than the normal for design? Why even waste your time? Can't see many wanting to spend $150-$250 to get one of these.

 

[Leafidelity]

Not a big fan of this, logo is weird

Speaking as a homer, this is - hands down - the ugliest Leafs jersey ever created.

 

[devbouz12]

So they release a video with split second clips of each jersey. Would much prefer some sort of comprehensive diagram with all the jerseys. Enough with the tease

 

[Kranix]

All Vancouver had to do. inverse this or something

 

[ArmadilloThumb]

Some of these look wierd, in a cheap Canadian Tire pajama jersey way. It might be because they are using tiny people for models and these are all like size 42? Some of the logos are way bigger than normal.

So I want to see more of each before making final judgements.

 

[HotDish]

Love them.

 

[tucker3434]

Is this a practice jersey? Where is the colour?

That one is a missed opportunity. They had plenty of great ideas to choose from.

 

[COHawk]

Love them.

Minnesota's are literally perfect.

 

[Mobiandi]

That Toronto one is sure something

I thought they should make the inside of the logo orange, with a white oil drop but looks good.

[Master P]

This pleases me

 

[FlameChampion]

I think its a very nice jersey. I think it is a bit boring though compared to some of the other teams. But not really sure what else they could of done that would be cool but not awful.

 

[ToDavid]

The Islanders jersey is actually really sharp but I think they might have missed the memo on what the league was going for here.

 

[eli4spetterss0n]

Not Calgary trying to take the Canucks skate jersey colourway + striping too

 

[robertmac43]

I like a lot of them. Love that they tried something. Could be the start of a new era of not so bland jerseys.

Holy smokes that would be awesome! It would be nice if teams had a fourth jersey they mixed up every couple of years!

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Love them.

Those jerseys are sex
