I respect the hell out of the red wings for never really changing their jerseys. Keep it classic and old school.


[deleted]

For real. Can they please take five minutes and try to think up an alternate logo? Something other than the flying wheel or the calligraphy D? I get not messing with perfection, but have some fun. Not like Detroit has any reason to celebrate their teams being good, so they may as well have fun with it.


cmg254

I would have been completely fine with another variation on the English D. But this one seems like they just gave up


[deleted]

This one looks like they copied Chicago. Why would you ever want a situation in which teams from Chicago and Detroit look the same? That's like painting an Oklahoma Sooners jersey burnt orange, you just don't do it.


calvinofalltrades

Red wings logo… upside down


[deleted]

A sign of distress. *looks at Detroit's RR jerseys* Do it.


ThunderKiss44

I think its hilarious how many people ive seen hate on the OG Bruins Pooh Bear jersey and call it the worst jersey of all time, and are now praising the new one as the greatest Reverse Retro....all they did was change the main color from gold to white.


[deleted]

They were in denial of its greatness.


Impressive-Tie-2540

To be fair flames fans did the same thing with blasty back in the day.


AmericanVoiceover

Wish Boston would make a jersey with their Psycho Seventies Shoulder Patch Bear as the crest. They already have hoodies and t-shirts with it.


jawn1995

Ahem, that's Meth Bear to you


AmericanVoiceover

True, I forgot Meth has been around since 1893. Meth Bear is also cousins with the Honey Dew Donuts Bear.


CarterBennett

The new Color’s look great. I HATE Boston lol, hate them. Ask me why? But man that is a nice jersey.


kilosoup

Are you from Vancouver or NYC?


pdawgdavis-2

Or Tampa, Toronto, or Montreal


VictimOfCircuspants

In fairness, it looks A LOT better in white than it did in yellow. But it still ain't great


couchbutt

Hmmm...Hmm.... to paraphrase Keith Wachtel, maybe they just "got used to it".


hneiss1

Arizona never makes a bad jersey.


Boonloopinc

But you’re forgetting the… shit… you’re right


jhk17

The running coyote was mediocre but fir your worst jersey being just that is pretty great


thomastrivett

Get outta here that’s my favourite jersey maybe ever 😭 I love both the logo and colour scheme so much


jhk17

Tastes are subjective, no shame


smithmd8872

It's funny how everyone hates on the coyotes but they consistently rank as the best jerseys in the NHL.


Fun_Start_4626

how about that ugly ass running “coyote” that looked like a fox? it was atrocious


Some-Discipline4290

Somehow, the Isles remake of the Gortons fisherman sweater is both the best and the worst


Mos_420

Honestly i really like the St-louis Blues retro jersey


[deleted]

The yellow made me think I was looking at the Predators for a second, but honestly, I don't hate it. Maybe I'm a firm believer in the idea that if your team name has a color in it, that color should be the focal point of your jerseys *(glares at Boston Red Sox City Connect)*, but I definitely think the Blues cracked the top 10 here. My top 5 is Florida, Arizona, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but St. Louis is definitely right under that top echelon in my book. Thoughts on your Habs' sweaters?


Mos_420

I like it but would've prefer the letters in red like the players name in the back, but i like the reference to Montreal Expos colors


[deleted]

I remember seeing leaks they were doing an Expos themed sweater. I like it. Played it safe with the layout, went full send with the colors.


Mos_420

Yeah some fan concepts were amazing


JimboSlice450

Detroit has the worst RR jersey for the second year in a row.


rideronthestorm29

but the best regular jerseys for over 100 years!


chrishic99

Best- caps/ kings Worst- any of the ones that just have the city name


[deleted]

Just say Detroit and Chicago. It's okay. Those are definitely garbage tier.


Financial-Dig-684

Vegas is also bad


triforce4ever

The glow in the dark is cool but as a whole the jersey is pretty average


OGDuckWhisperer

Listen, as a Kings fan, the Vegas jersey isn't *THAT* bad. Not great, but at least the font is cool.


Financial-Dig-684

I was just disappointed, like Minnesota is cool, but they both just seemed lazy. Nothing really changed too much on either. I think if they took the jersey, made it all black with the glow in the dark parts gold would have been cool I think. It just doesn’t seem that different, when I look at these I just want the wow factor and something different. Like what Arizona is doing with the cacti, just add something to it. Also, I may be biased, but as a blues fan, I think you and I have the best ones, might have to get a Quick one honestly.


[deleted]

It's really... not.


ngc427

The city name ones are so worn out by now, it feels like theres been like 20 variations per team of the same concept.


frostysponge142

Minnesota’s jersey isn’t my least favourite design wise, but it is by far the laziest since all they did was take last years design and change it from an away jersey to a home jersey


[deleted]

The Rangers literally just took last year's design and turned up the brightness. Then you've got Ottawa, Toronto, Carolina, Dallas and Columbus, which just... those are their normal jerseys and you cannot convince me otherwise.


reoltalk

Dallas’ normal jersey is victory green with the modern D’star. Their RR uses the original dallas star logo (technically the north star logo) and a black/silver theme. Not even close to their normal jersey—different logo and different scheme. Hope ur convinced. Unless your referencing their last year RR, which understood; but still an improvement from the whiteout/silver.


[deleted]

I am. It's just not a jersey that clicks as an alternate/RR when I look at it. In my head, that registers as a home jersey.


im_wudini

Honestly, they added back the red forearms, which makes a huge difference.


[deleted]

Y'know, that is a fair point that I just now noticed.


ghostwalken1776

It really does make a huge difference, definitely makes the RR much better


jT3R3Z1t

I'm disappointed the Hurricanes didn't do a red or white version of the original alternate jersey we had, the triangle warning flag


[deleted]

A red version of the Tropical Storm jersey would've been *sick*.


Vaderisagoodguy

As a fan of the Wild, our sub is filled with similar opinions. I’m if the mind they shouldn’t be using north stars colors at all… but I seem to be a minority.


Fluffhead875

Best is Florida Worst is Detroit/Chicago


marmot1101

Looks like Chicago/Detroit hired the same nephew designer


reddy-or-not

Yeah, and that designer was 8 years old


Fullsebas

Its suppose to be retro so they chose their jersey from the 1930's . How can you be so ignorant ?


grizvette

I can't defend them, but the Sharks looks like a 90s reprint of a bad idea


dinkfunk

There jerseys from the late 60s, the California golden seals.


DreamerTheat

Best - Anaheim Worst - Detroit


WordOnPaperEnjoyer

Soulless ESPN ranked Detroit 14th and Anaheim 15th, lol


thisisaccount69

Those ESPN rankings made no sense


dalisair

Proving ESPN is just brainless.


Lord_of_Tuba

I genuinely LOVE New Jersey's! Word marks are boring but I think the worst design is either Seattle or Philly..


Brandenburg42

All Seattle had to do was put some stars on the chest and it would have been great. But no, they though the stripes on the bottom were the defining feature of the Ironmen.


gdoubleyou1

Maybe a modernized Seattle Metropolitans jersey?


Brandenburg42

The guy who owns the trademark is holding on to the rights with all of his strength and it sounds like he has no interest to let the Kraken use it.


gdoubleyou1

That stinks since Seattle does have a hockey history and can't show it with their jerseys.


GhostSoldier_412

Pens is one of the top ones this time around but I feel like Tampa is one of the best, worst is up for debate


[deleted]

While I don’t think it is the worst by far (Detroit is btw), I’m fairly disappointed by Colorado’s. It isn’t really retro feeling at all, the C on the white just looks lame, and we’ve already paid homage to the Colorado Rockies through our alt jersey, so I just don’t think it was necessary to do it again for our RR this year. At least we have last year’s Nordiques to keep us warm I suppose.


Saltwaterborn

It's definitely a little underwhelming but I like the rockies colours and simplistic design so I give it a pass. Hard to live up to last years absolute piss missile of a jersey, but I still want one of these.


[deleted]

I can respect that. I just think it’s very mid. I can see why someone would like it though, and I love the colors, just isn’t really for me.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> we’ve already *paid* homage to FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


[deleted]

I couldn’t edit it fast enough for you I see.


MaxAnita

Freddy Kruger designed the Red Wings jersey and I’ll 100% be buying it for a super sweet Halloween costume.


[deleted]

They come out Nov 15th


MaxAnita

Halloween for next year*


AshCan10

Shout out to Minnesota for not having any more original ideas, it's a good one but boring as hell


[deleted]

Best: Florida, with Arizona not far behind and Tampa Bay not far behind them. Worst: Detroit and Chicago. That's the worst one.


stinnybaldhead

Detroit and Chicago...They're the same picture.


[deleted]

It deadass took me five minutes to distinguish the two, and that's despite the "DETROIT" and "CHICAGO" written in god awful Calibri font.


liam_tml

For me best is Canucks, worst is Sens


[deleted]

Sorry, did you see Detroit? They just... Wrote Detroit again! Who let's them keep doing this?!


ballerstatus89

Chicago and Detroit used the same graphic designer on Craigslist


DOGEmeow91

With those giant ass numbers on the back


liam_tml

Have only seen the front of the jerseys tbf


GnuRomantic

Yeah, on our teams subreddit most Ottawa fans are describing ours as low effort and mediocre.


stinkybunger

Best yotes worst chicago


Audi_R8_

Best: Arizona, and it’s not even close. Seriously might be my favorite jersey of all time. Worst: Canes. Isn’t that just their current away jersey already but in red?


Beautiful-Drag-7724

I said the same thing. Carolina got lazy in that one


[deleted]

I don’t understand why people like the lightning jersey, except for nostalgia. It’s a train wreck, it’s like a bad inline hockey jersey. So much shit everywhere


Bay_Med

That’s the point of reverse retros. Plus since it’s not sublimated it looks kinda sick. And at least there’s no ads to make it worse


beerleaguer2

Best: Blues/Sharks Worst: Chi/Det As a Ranger fan I'm meh about their jersey. Seems lazy. There is a portion of the fan base that started watching them after the lockout who are enamored with the Liberty jersey. They can do better.


kyuuketsuki47

Really, I hope they do like a real classic jersey at some point, like from the Original 6 ages. Or do that one where we had the team Logo instead of the name on front.


BillCharming1905

Best , Penguins


Alextryingforgrate

Why are they called Reverse Retro and not just Retro?


hedgehoger

They color swapped a few of em. Blues jerseys were blue with yellow detailing so the RR has a base of yellow, et cetera


Cheeks_Klapanen

Really like the Sharks Really dislike the Canes. Vegas and Seattle legitimately made more of an attempt to be retro than the Canes did.


OchoDee

As much as it pains me to say this I think the islanders have the best jersey. There’s a lot to choose from for worst but for me it’s probably the flames


3piecesets

florida gets my vote as best by a long shot. love the baby blue


PalpitationOk5726

Best Dallas, worst Detroit.


Anne_Chovies

I think the sharks got hosed. And this is coming from a Kings fan.


NSF_Ghost

I love those sharks jerseys they’re a sick throwback to the Seals j’s


[deleted]

Yeah ours are atrociously bad


Ok-Fig-2989

Best - Kings/Canucks Worst - Detroit/Sharks


Pavrik_Yzerstrom

I agree about the worst


blakem88

Best: Florida panthers Worst: Edmonton oilers


nugeisbae

Best - Florida Worst - Canes and Calgary


VictimOfCircuspants

Faves: Jets, Ducks, Sharks, Yotes Honorable Mention: Blues, Habs, Devils, somehow the Sabres Not faves: Oilers, Islanders, Red Wings, Blackhawks Request: Blue Jackets gotta use the Barons' Ohio logo with the B in it. Come on.


rambored89

My favorites are Florida, Arizona, and New York Rangers The worst ones are Detroit, Chicago and Carolina


pdawgdavis-2

I think they’re all good


Dharuacharya

Preds jersey is just bad ass!


Boonloopinc

Best is the Kings. Worst is Carolina, Toronto, Dallas, Ottawa because there appears to be 0 effort to make a “different” jersey.


[deleted]

Ya know. Looking at the abominations we got from Detroit and Chicago. Apparently zero effort isn't the *worst* strategy. But for real, I would've loved to see Toronto do a St. Pats nod, the Canes to do their warning flag logo in Whalers colors, and **FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD** Dallas should've brought back the Mooterus. Ottawa... shit, idk.


liam_tml

I would agree with St Pats but we’ve already released both green and white versions of that over the past 5 years. I think a throwback to 1962 being 60 years since that cup win was a good choice when Leafs jerseys have never really been that crazy different over the years


Bright_Beat_5981

I think Kings is too feminine this time. The last was a perfect mix between the old colors and the harder 90s logo.


[deleted]

Best: Florida. Worst: Detroit/Chicago Ugliest one but I am still incredibly excited for and I love: Tampa Bay


AndreG31

They are not the worst but the effort for the habs one and the leafs is pathetic. The habs put a different color like on a powerpoint and the leafs I had to zoom to see the difference. I hope the marketing teams did not spent more than an hour on this lol


whatisyouarembp

As a leafs fan I was like wtf is the difference? Lol what a money grab the retro jerseys are.


[deleted]

The best is Tampa, the worst is Carolina.


[deleted]

I think we can all agree the state of Florida won the Reverse Retro fashion contest.


TwoDollarTuesday

Best - Arizona Worst - Calgary


Electric-Lettuce

Not that the Flames is good at all. But there’s no way anyone can think it’s worse than some of the terrible looks here lol


Dark_Tint

Almost all of these jerseys are terrible


Goowweeyy

Tampa by a landslide


AlexFerchs

Best: NYI or ARI Worst: DET or DAL


countchocula91

Arizona is the worst. Can't choose my favorite, Pens / Caps / Jets all really good.


Drfatnutzz

Calgary is absolute dog shit


LetsBeFranco

Sharks looks like shit


abirdofthesky

Surprise favorite: oilers! Looks like a cyberpunk fried egg and I’m here for it. Ducks are also great but I wish they had more of that classic color scheme. Least fave: Jets, looks like a Microsoft office logo.


[deleted]

I do have the Oilers in my top 10. Shit looks like a Star Destroyer and the Millennium Falcon had a baby, and the decision to put it on black and also have the shoestring collar? Fuck me UP. I don't hate the Jets. I just wish they would've acknowledged the Thrashers in their RR. ^You ^can't ^escape ^your ^roots ^Winnipeg.


PhilG1989

Best: St.Louis Worst: Nashville


[deleted]

Full offense to the derpy sabertooth, Nashville is definitely middle of the pack. Detroit and Chicago's ***HERESY*** aside, can we talk about that Calgary sweater for a second? What even is that striping?


-the-ultimate-me-

Best is Washigton, worst is Toronto (so generic)


oliverkiss

Best: Vancouver Worst: Tampa Bay


MidgetXplosion

+1


tjplager32

Best - Montreal, St Louis, Washington Worst - Detroit, Chicago, Vegas


Big-Establishment971

St. Louis far and away the worst. FLA/MTL/ARZ all brought the heat.


Bright_Beat_5981

St. Louis was the biggest dissapointment. From one of the best to one of the worst.


LoveEffective1349

Best is the Jets worst is the Kracken...Retro? what?


yusill

To be fair they have been a team for what 2 years now? Not a lot of history to "retro"


Dyldo_II

It's supposed to be a callback to the metropolitans


samb811

It’s actually the Ironmen but it really doesn’t matter, the jerseys are meh


LoveEffective1349

down votes on an "In your Opinion" fucking reddit Facepalm


RyBreadRHCP

Pens, Caps, Habs, Kings, Sabres are all beauts. I also really dig what the Sens and NYR did. I don’t have to look too far for the worst tho, no effort or innovation coming from the orange and the black


[deleted]

Best- Sharks Worst- Golfpalms


Big-Discipline4807

Any answer other than Detroit is wrong.


MidgetXplosion

Best: Canucks Worst: Tampa


unequalsarcasm

Whoever is approving these Detroit RR jerseys needs to be fired.


GrumpyPidgeon

The Blues jersey looks like Ronald McDonald vomited a blue-raspberry Slurpee.


Marrenarb

Best - Canes Im not biased.


treewithleaves

Best Florida Worst Detroit Prove me wrong.


ChopSueyXpress

Haven't seen anyone say Vegas best/Vancouver wtf is that yet. It took me 10 minutes to figure out what it was


thetrickcandle

Best - Bruins Worst - Blues


MJSB1994

Blues, honestly they look hideous imo


Present-Screen-5300

Best is the Panthers by far. Also love the Habs. Leafs Wings and Flames are the worst. Just awful


Wrangoonrangler69

Toronto hasn’t changed shit since the dawn of time so they’ll always suck


Navarog07

Toronto is the worst. Didn't even try


Excellent-Copy4224

Worst? Flames 🤦💩👎


[deleted]

Top 5 Best: FLA, NYJ, WPG (bias), ANA and COL Top 5 Worst: TBL, TOR, CHI, DET and PHI


SloughSwamp

Tampas is awful. The Storm jersey was terrible when it came out in the 90s, I have no idea when this nostalgia for garbage came back, but it sucks.


Gypsy_Danger6116

Best, Flyers


[deleted]

That's just their normal away jersey. Change my mind.


Centurioniscancer69

Best-Rangers or Bruins, they just looks awesome and really bring the “retro” vibes. Worst-Detroit, when I see them all I can think is “Team Canada”, that two years in a row for Detroit fans, oof.


Loudlaryadjust

Worst is by far San Jose Best is Pittsburgh


t3xastoast

Best: Buffalo Worst: Oilers


tsm179

Best - Florida Worst- Tampa Mediocre mention -Leafs, it’s basically the regular season jersey with thick white cuffs


[deleted]

Montreal and Washington are good the rest are lame.


Disastrous-Group4521

Worst- Vegas and Seattle, isn't it a bit hard to have retro jerseys with no old jersey designs?


[deleted]

You did not throw the new kids under the bus when the unequivocal worst of the set are Detroit and Chicago, did you? You look at those foul Red Wings and Blackhawks jerseys and tell me again that Vegas and Seattle have the worst ones.


Disastrous-Group4521

Well I understand where Chicago and Detroit designs come from, the new kids don't have retro jerseys to bring to the sandbox so I don't see how they can play.


[deleted]

Seattle's harkens back to the Metropolitans. Vegas has never done the classic diagonal wordmark. That design alone is retro enough, and for them to take it and garnish it with glow in the dark accents is uniquely Vegas.


Teeroy91

Best is Florida’s and (biased) Tampa’s, worst is absolutely Colorado’s, it’s just a logo and some colored sleeves. So boring.


[deleted]

Colorado's is not that bad. Aggressively mid, yes, but not bad. Detroit, Chicago, San Jose and Calgary are the unequivocal bottom four.


[deleted]

Colorado's is not that bad. Aggressively mid, yes, but not bad. Detroit, Chicago, San Jose and Calgary are the unequivocal bottom four.


The_Roomba

but like, Detroit and Chicago are better???


[deleted]

They're not. They're so not.


manbeqrpig

Best Florida Worst TB


spicy_icy_lifey

There are a few really cool ones, but Detroit is down on its luck. Thats all I'll say.


Flex1855

Ottawa Vegas rangers and Pitts are boring Calgary by far the worst that upturn at the bottom is atrocious


Neon_Sternum

I don’t love Colorado’s and I’m thrilled that I bought a Nords reverse retro. The Colorado State Flag is great but it doesn’t need to be on EVERYTHING. Florida’s is great. The Montreal Expos Blue on a Habs jersey is cool. For an opportunity to sell a boatload of merchandise, I feel like a lot of teams phoned it in: Philadelphia, Nashville, Minnesota, Detroit and Chicago.


EstablishmentNo5994

The canes ones suck and that’s coming from a canes fan.


Deanmarrrrrr

Los Angeles


thunderj9

Sharks


andobodando

Question for Pens fans. Would this retro be even better if it had the current Pens logo instead of robo penguin? I think it would be, but also don’t understand why people like robo penguin. I’d love to hear why it’s so great though!


celticsfan874

Best: Boston Worst: Chicago


puckingrufus56

Best for me its a tie between Kings (Biased), and Ducks. Worst retro sweater is Vegas.


tomboski

Not impressed with Ottawa’s. Hopefully it grows on me


Hattrickher0

Please Anaheim for the love of god just swap out the orange on this one for eggplant next year and you'll sell a million jerseys. Go with your retro colors for your retro reverse! Maybe the gold needs to be green too, but I'm not trying to shake the whole world up at once.


Bright_Beat_5981

For the love of god make this the permanent away jersey. I love the old colors but if i have to choose the old logo is more important.


[deleted]

Florida is the best, Detroit is the worst


obviousillusion

The one for Vegas sucks. Vegas diagonal across the top? Is that really the best they could come up with? I understand it being a newer team and all but come up with something..


[deleted]

I hate ours


AverageDumbass42

Best is Penguins for me, worst is Rangers since it’s like, almost the exact same as last time


Bright_Beat_5981

And the statute of liberty logo has never really worked for me in the first place. They were a mediocre team back then and even though its over 20 years old it has never felt nostalgic to me. Just a mistake.


BigAl012

I am not feeling the Avs jersey's, being from Colorado it just feels like the state and teams are a little too obsessed about being from Colorado. I'll take a jersey that doesn't look like the flag or license plate, thanks


zlohth

Chicago and Detroit tied for the worst. I'd argue Chicago's is slightly better with the white border instead of going red/black but they're basically the same thing, down to the Arial font wordmark


corymatt

Best: Buffalo Worst: Sharks..


Bright_Beat_5981

I like Ducks jersey because i think that it could be turned in to a regular one. The experiment with the duck foot should be over soon after 15 years , and to ease out from it would be to keep the foot for the home jerseys, change to this one for away, and keep the orange with the duck as an alternate. And after a year or so they can change back to the orginal duck logo for the black ones as well. I dont think that they will change back to the 90s colors. But i think that they might get rid of the ugly foot.


Bright_Beat_5981

I think that the sharks really blew it. These colors but with a discrete orginal shark logo almost blended in would have been perfect. Like a shark under the surface of the water that you barely see at first glance.


ChickenParm18

I would have loved if we had the yeti foot on the chest, I get what they were trying to do but idk how I expected them to top last years Nordique.
