M4One Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 8 hours ago, mjarvie said: To answer both your questions about Reverse Retros. I was listening to a All the Kings men podcast where they did a RR 2.0 draft of the jerseys. One of the guys on there is the marketing guy for the Ontario Reign and worked with Vegas. He said that that was one of the goals for this version of the RR, was to have matchups between teams wearing their RR. So that's probably one of the reasons the Sharks have white. And if I look on the Kings schedule, they will be in RR matchups twice, against Arizona on Dec 23 and against Vegas on I think Jan 7. I also watched a bit of the Philly/Pittsburgh game and they were both wearing their Reverse Retros. I think one of the issues, is just when teams scheduled the games. I would've liked to see them work together on the project to schedule more games against each other. It is what it is. There was no mandate to have x amount of teams in white and y amount of teams in colored. Adidas gave them like 4-5 ideas (according to Luc Robitaille) and each team works off of those I get it. Teams picked the choice they thought was the best for them and worry about the schedule later. But, just using the Pacific division as an example, there are some missed opportunities with divisional rivals. Calgary/Edmonton, Vancouver/Seattle, LA/Anaheim. Can't even have colour vs. colour because they are too similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckDancer Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 The avs really need to bring back the blue/silver stripes along the mountain on their white jerseys like they have on those retro jerseys. Would match their sock stripes and bring a little more blue to the road jersey which they need. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirill_The_Thrill97 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Here's MAF's amazing Reverse Retro mask However, I don't think bright yellow or metallic gold pads were worn in the 1970s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I love the Wild’s reverse retro as a full set so much more than the unveiling. I honestly still want something from the Wild’s own jersey history, but man does the North Stars set look fantastic. I love that they brought back the triple star breezers in green and gold from the last RR. I also love that they fixed the socks on the green jersey. That was always a flaw of the original North Stars set, that the green socks had the yellow and white stripes spaced out, rather than touching like the sleeve stripes. So I’m very happy the Wild fixed that for this set. 1 Quote "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

FinsUp1214 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Boston’s Winter Classic set is an absolute triumph. There isn’t a single thing I’d change about it. The inspiration and the execution are both so, so good. I have no sliver of Bruins fandom whatsoever, but even I’m tempted to get a beanie or hat from the set. The Penguins…well, the set looks good in a vacuum, and the inspiration behind it totally makes sense. I just wish they had gone double-blue something because I think a black/gold vs. double-blue color matchup would have been absolutely stunning. Sure, “we had black and gold first” is an understandable team pride statement to make, but it robbed us of what could have been - barring poor execution by Pittsburgh - a potentially all-time great WC matchup, at least in colors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it must be tough to get the material to match the jerseys/socks, because they look more mustardy. 5 hours ago, pepis21 said: How someone in Detroit and adidas accepted that is a mystery for me and an even bigger mystery is how the designer could have thought giving the Red Wings black was a good idea. Well the Leafs already use a black alternate, so we shouldn't be surprised at this point. And most of my 'normie' sports fan friends really like the Bieber jerseys & the Red Wings' RR, so I'm sure they'll sell well in Detroit. Sad that we're already in the 2nd wave of BFBS.
