I’ve always found that if you only have one helmet, going with the dark is better because dark helmets with white jerseys looks infinitely better to me than white helmets with dark jerseys. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osgiliath-Guard 61 Posted November 13, 2020 7 hours ago, VancouverFan69 said: Both were wearing white uniforms too. The NHL is not going with a one helmet rule. It would look ridiculous. Wasn't there a post on the mothership saying that was a scheduling mistake? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBGKon 2,683 Posted November 13, 2020 15 hours ago, ldconcepts said: Seems like the Caps are getting new helmets and pants, which match up with the info I got about their new third jerseys. The white helmet is the outlier, as white helmets get paired with white jerseys. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, oh well, depending on how well received this ends up being, there may be more opportunities later on. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi_canadian 201 Posted November 13, 2020 13 hours ago, nash61 said: I believe the reason they do this is because they couldn't get the shade of blue right to match the jerseys so they went with white... I read that somewhere, could have been on here. I know at the '98 Olympics, Canada wore white helmets as well. I think it was after that that they switched to red then to black after the 2002 Olympics. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I originally though the rangers teaser could've been the cbj and the year would've lined up with the founding of the chill but they folded before '00 so I doubt it I would love it thought. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridleylash 4,222 Posted November 13, 2020 Columbus' Reverse Retro is rumored to be their original jersey in red, which isn't exactly surprising. Vegas went the fauxback route mainly for lack of choice, Columbus has a retro jersey to throw back to, so it makes sense they'd go with that. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1insaneguy 194 Posted November 13, 2020 So is it pretty much understood that the Capitals are going to bring back the screaming eagle on a red jersey, or is that just a guess on the part of some dedicated fans? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not privy to any inside information but given that the teaser has the year '97 I'd say we're just as likely to get a red version of this since that's the year it was introduced. EDIT: Never mind, the teaser obviously shows this isn't the case Edited November 13, 2020 by Gobbi Won't be this jersey 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a source in the Capitals organization that told me about it a month ago, before the name “reverse retro” was publicly announced. The colours and year from the Adidas teaser match, and since they also told me about the blue third, their info seems to match up. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian E 417 Posted November 13, 2020 https://twitter.com/NYIslanders/status/1327295181260009477 someone will have to explain to me how this qualifies as "reverse retro" for the islanders. it's 1) not the template of their 1980 jersey 2) not...reverse anything? navy wasn't even in their color scheme until 1995. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ti-Nick 42 Posted November 13, 2020 As much as I'd like to, I can't believe the Ducks will go with Wild Wing breaking the ice. I think they'll just use their current D-foot logo in purple and jade. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like it's going to be a little too reminiscent of the Caps throwbacks, especially with the stars at the bottom of the sleeves. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
