It does look so good. For the Hurricanes Reverse Retro, it doesn't make sense as it is based on their current away jersey which began in 2019 and the orange NHL logo was long gone.
I've missed seeing the orange and black-style NHL logo around. I bought a hat from 47 Brand that has that logo alone and I love it - even got to wear it to a Blues game earlier this season!
@@kj6446 Kings fans have been saying for years that the purple and gold need to be the team’s colors. Don’t think anyone is a huge fan of the current lack of colors or logo with the exception of the team itself. The first reverse retro is absolutely perfect.
@@ZiggyValentine as a kings fan i don't mind the colors we have now if we do them right. the white alternates with the shiny silver are fantastic and i wouldn't mind us making a home set and going to those jerseys. However, the purple and gold look is far better and I would really prefer them to go to those. either way we need new jerseys
Those Kings jerseys are awesome. Love the purple and gold with the early 90s era logo. The Kings have never had a bad logo or jersey though. I say this as someone who isn't a Kings fan.
As a Detroit fan the last thing I want is black on a Red Wings jersey. They should follow in the footsteps of Montreal in respecting their incredible classic design
Love your jersey videos. Was inspired by your collection and recently bought my first nhl jersey. Had to pick up the new Pittsburgh reverse retro and I love it.
Was under the assumption that the grey in the leafs 2020 jersey was for the blue jays … or maybe that was just how I rationalized them using grey … but absolutely love this years leafs RR jersey!
I agree with you about the VGK retros. I have the 2020 and I love it. I like the 2022 (glow in the dark! Whee!), and I really like the black, but TBH I prefer the red (for the Wranglers reference).
watching you try to decide which Kings RR you liked more was great. They are both excellent jerseys, for sure. The selling point for me, for the 2022 Avalanche RR, was the number font (which is sadly missing from your jersey). I don't know when Colorado abandoned the font they used when they came to CO in '95, but it's an excellent font and looks so, so good. I keep hoping someday they'll bring the original numbers back. (at least the 'C' and 'A' are still the old font on their regular Home/Away jerseys). and yes, do a poll! I love a good poll. :)
Great video! Here’s my rank: 2020: Arizona, Buffalo, Colorado, Carolina, Chicago, Montreal, Philadelphia, San Jose, St. Louis, Vegas. 2022: Anaheim, Boston, Calgary, Columbus, Detroit, Dallas, Edmonton, Nashville, NY Islanders, NY Rangers, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg. Too tough to call: Florida, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New Jersey, Tampa Bay, Washington. I WILL add two notes: 1) Not every jersey looks good with the orange NHL shield. 2) 2022 crests and shoulder patches are nicer since they moved to Primegreen materials. I didn’t take these two things into consideration.
I agreed with absolutely every single pick except Vegas. 2020 surprised me with how well they did. I assumed 2022 would have washed it, no problem. Very fun!
The 2022 Vancouver Reverse Retro is my favorite. Had to get that one with the 2022 Detroit. I’d like to get the St. Louis and Toronto 2022 RR jerseys. I get Winnipeg is overusing the original Jets logo on alternates, but I prefer that logo over the later Jets logo. I get the jet is supposed to be a delta wing design and has the trail behind it, but the design of it always reminded me of a nipple from a baby bottle as a kid and cannot unsee it.
@@SuperStrik9 I do like the Leafs RR for this year, especially now that I got one. I like the felt crest, it’s something not many teams utilize, but the ones that do, do it right. Like Columbus on their cannon logo sweater. Probably one of my favorite Adidas sweaters even though I am a Wings fan lol. I’m looking forward to a Arizona 2022 RR that should be arriving tomorrow. I had to get quite a few this year since I missed out on all of them last time around and have a hard time finding any I like in a 52 or 54. I probably would’ve got more jerseys had I bought blank ones, but I had to get mine all customized because it’s nice seeing the fonts and designs some teams use for their numbers and letters that help add to the design. IMO they help add to the aesthetic. It’s funny because I live in an area in Indiana where hockey is not popular at all after living in Detroit for 30 years, and I always seem to get questions about my jerseys from curious older folks or people with no knowledge about the game in general. One guy thought the ‘22 Vancouver RR was a minor league team and how it was odd the number was only on one sleeve. Then he said “hockey is not a thing at all around here, you must be from one of those northern states.” After I told him I’m from Detroit and half of my family is Canadian, he asked me what the hell I was doing in small town Indiana 😂
@@gonuts4donuts Speaking of Indiana, the Indianapolis Racers had pretty sweet jerseys. An Indianapolis Racers Gretzky jersey would be an awesome jersey to have. I just mean getting a Racers Gretzky jersey made up new. An actual game worn jersey would be incredible, super rare and super expensive. Would be amazing to have though.
@@SuperStrik9 Royal Retro has some great new retro jerseys of defunct NHL and WHA teams. In fact I plan on ordering a Gretzky Racers jersey along with a Ciccarelli North Stars and a Gordie Howe 70’s Whalers and Shanahan 90’s Whalers jerseys. I’ve got a Lanny McDonald Rockies jersey from them (ordered it without the name on the back) and the quality is pretty good.
@@gonuts4donuts I'm a Leafs fan but I miss the Whalers. I love their jerseys with the "invisible" H inside the W. Lanny getting traded from Toronto to Colorado should've never happened. It's a sorta long story but the main reason is basically Harold Ballard smh.
Love love this video. Those Nordiques and Whalers uniforms are pieces of art. The light blue Canadiens might be the finest uniforms ever in all of sport.
A fun video comparison! Once again showing where tastes are the same (big wins for purple, dislike of too much grey), and where they very much differ as I like the gold/yellow jerseys of the Preds and Blues, as well as preferring the OG Bruins one compared to its RR2 version
The Canucks one is terrific, but I believe 2020 was the year they brought back the Skate jersey, and I obviously love that one, having started my fandom at the age of 8 in 1990. My parents were never fans and I was sadly homeschooled, so I had to figure all that out for myself. Everything of value that I learned, I learn on my own much later than I should have. I remember in the late 80s I had a Canucks t-shirt/pajama set with the skate, but I didn't know what it was all about. My dad just said it was a "hockey thing." He never explained what that was because he was never interested. Obviously, discovering hockey fuelled all my social interaction and gave me something in common with the outside world, so I have a fondness for the skate logo that goes far beyond 1994. I also believe that 1992 team to be the best I ever saw, 2011 included. They were so deep, especially on defence.
A few years older, and not home schooled, but just about the same for me. My parents did not like sports (but supported me playing) but I seemed to be the only hockey fan in the schools I went to.
@@csolivais1979 it’s a very lonely feeling. And when you’re disabled, there aren’t any hockey options. I can walk, but not for long. My dad used to fat shame me because I found it hard to find exercise options. I was a competitive swimmer and barely maintained my weight.
The Leafs RR sweater is gorgeous. I don't get understand the hate it gets. I've hoped for them to release that exact sweater for two decades now. I'd love if they would brought back the white version of this sweater and made them their primary home and aways.
I’m an artist/ graphic designer and I had to pause the video for the new Lightning jersey. I just stared at it. From a design perspective, it should be laughed at, but it works. It shouldn’t work, but it’s beautiful. It’s the epitome of so bad it’s good.
Ehhh I think it would've been respected more if the base was black throughout as it would've complimented the scene of a actual thunder storm very well as right now the black sleeves look very out of place to the base white
I'm kind of with you on Canes RRs. I didn't mind gray Whalers as a design, especially with some others going to legacy teams, but this time around the retro wasn't there, especially when the white version is still being worn. Really wish we'd have gone white or silver og black, but we also had that plain red and the white with red shoulders we could have flipped too.
As a die-hard CBJ fan, I have to agree 100% Shannon....our 2022 one is fantastic. I can't stand our old red ones with that goofy logo, as well. Also, with the Sharks and the Blues jerseys, I have them tied. I love both jerseys of both clubs and absolutely cannot pick a favorite over the other.
I agree with Shannon that I love the 2020 St. Louis Blues Reverse Retro better than the 2022 version. I do like the Predators 20 RR better because of the material used for the silver parts of the jersey and there is more silver to break up the yellow on the jersey. I would pick 22 for the Sabres because of the Goat Head as the main logo over the cross sabres.
As a die hard NY Sports fan out of the New York metro area, Tri-State Area NY/NJ I did managed to get 3 Reverse Retro 2.0 jerseys of my local hometown teams, Rangers, Islanders, Devils. For the Rangers Reverse Retro jerseys I do like both but I gotta go with the 2.0 Reverse Retro jersey over the 1.0 Reverse Retro jersey because they added the red on the sleeves and also added their own blue on the jersey the 1.0 Reverse Retro jersey is ok but sucks they didn't add the red on the sleeves it looks like a plain jersey, for the Islanders I gotta go with the 2.0 Reverse Retro jersey over the 1.0 Reverse Retro jersey why because they bring back the Fisherman sorta the Fisherman logo looks so good in the Primegreen sucks that they didn't add no teal, no waves, and no Lighthouse on the shoulders really bummed about that the 1.0 Reverse Retro jersey is a copy of their home jersey they darken the jersey and switch the stripes orange on the bottom, white on top, finally the Devils it's kinda hard which one I like better but gotta go with the 1.0 jersey more love the green which everyone calls the Christmas jersey the 2.0 jersey is nice but trying to figure out what are they based off the Kansas City Scouts or the Colorado Rockies or both teams combined.
On Vegas, the first was a throwback to the Las Vegas Thunder, while the current one is more of tribute to the city as it existed in 1995. Lettering based on the fairly new (at the time) Excalibur Hotel & Casino, and neon hadn't yet had it's swan song. I really wish you'd have shut off the lights and hit the 2022 jersey with black light to show it off.
I’d love to know what you think about the Sabres 3rds this year. Obviously not the reverse retro but definitely a reverse. I can tell you locally they are a huge hit here in Buffalo, they win in them and they remind all of us of the Hasek glory days. I own a late 90s original and bought the new one. They cleaned up the lining and sleeves and in person they truly are spectacular. I would love them to become our regular 3rds.
I totally agree with Shannon on the grey in the previous retro Leafs jerseys. It should've been white. As a Leafs fan I'd love an 80's retro but I know it'll probably never happen because Ballard. I have a real soft spot for those jerseys because it's when I became a Leafs fan (86-87) as a kid born and raised in the Toronto area.
I love taking polls…. Autocorrect wanted me to say that I love taking pills. 😊 Anyway I like both of the Avs sweaters but I leaned towards the older one which had the Nordiques logos with the Avalanche color scheme. I was a Colorado Rockies fan the first time my uncle took me to a game when I was a little menace to society. And when they left for New Jersey in the middle of the night I was a Colorado Flames fan! Then the Denver Grizzlies came to town and kicked buttocks with the Avs coming the next year. I would think that the New Jersey Devils should be the rightful users of the old Rockies colors but that’s my opinion. Thanks for another great video my man. 🏒🥅🚨
As for Montreal Canadiens, you are right, it is a "Expos colour" not a "City colour" like they pretend. I live in Montreal and I have never seen that colour on anything city-related. But I did see the Expos wearing that a lot in my youth...!!!!
I much prefer the pens black R&R that they use as their third jersey this year . Almost like a black out jersey besides the numbers and letters . Super clean with little hits of yellow
I really wasn't a fan of the Canucks Reverse Retro, but after seeing this video I like it more. I really think its the numbers on the front that kill it for me
Note about Calgary's reverse retro...the sleeve stripe narrows to meet the collar in the back, rather than being consistent as in the front, so to me it looks a little weird, almost reminiscent of the Flyers jersey
Toronto's 2020 Reverse Retros were disappointing for a number of reasons. But they didn't have to be. The Leafs had used a shiny silver on their shoulder patches before in the 90s and 2000s. They could have been alright if they want with that silver colour instead of a gross and depressing grey.
I think part of the problem with the Lady Liberty jersey is that they did both a blue and white version for home and away so you can't really reverse it. The 2021 jersey is slightly different but not really enough. At least they did something different with the 2022 and made it the current colours. That being said they should have just done it in white and called it a day. I would give it to the 2022 jersey as well for the same reason Shannon did, at least they did something more different with it.
Anaheim is definitely a reverse retro. Their original design with current colors. I keep on seeing people say they wished it was the eggplant color..i’m like no then it’s just a throwback. Or when i see the Bruins should’ve done black..right because the logo would not be completely lost. I like 2.0 St. Louis more than 1.0, Senators 1.0 more than 2.0, Predators 1.0 more than 2.0, Blue Jackets 1.0 slightly more than 2.0, The Kings 1.0 slightly more than 2.0 & Sharks 2.0 more than 1.0.
I'm a Vegas resident & fan. I much prefer our red jersey over the glow in the dark one. I get people like the gimmicky & flashiness of it because "its Vegas", but it just feels too gimmicky for me. I might be in the minority on that, but ah well. That's just how I feel. and sure, put a poll up for the jerseys. Maybe it'll turn out I won't be alone on that after all lol
Love seeing the side-by-side for each uni - as noted in the review, the 2022 Blues RR is... garish with the yellow, but I'm still happy with the novelty of seeing the prototype logo make a few appearances on the ice. Sidebar on RR items - has anyone had any luck or have recommendations for where to find RR hats? I've been looking for a fitted or snapback hat for a few of this year's RRs (Capitals and Jets, namely), but haven't seen them on NHL Shop or many other sites. Thanks!
As a wild fan, I must say that when the new jerseys were released, thought it was kind of lame to just make a home version of the last RR, but they show up on the ice a lot better imo
LA with the Crown is beautiful. The Sabres demon Goat Head in their traditional blue and gold is nice. The Islanders with the fisherman makes me want to eat fishsticks. Florida's in the powder blue is sweet, and you could substitute a golf club for the hockey stick in late spring.
Detroit fan here. Kinda wish they just made black stripes white with detroit in red, then it would be a proper reverse retro. But they’re probably just testing to see fan reaction with black on a jersey. It looks fine, but a simple red base with white stripes would’ve looked a lot better imo.
My picks Ducks- 20 Coyotes- 20 Bruins- 22 Sabres- 22 Flames- 22 Canes- 20 Hawks- 20 Avs- 22 CBJ- 20 not a fan of either Stars- 20 Wings- 22 Oilers- 22 not a fan of either Panthers- tough but 22 Kings- 22 Wild- 22 Habs- 22 Preds- tough but 20. 22 has too much yellow Devils- 22 NYI- 20 NYR- 22 Sens- 22 not a fan of either Flyers- 20 Pens- 22 Sharks- 20 Blues- 22 Lightning- 20 Leafs- 22 Canucks- 22 VGK- 22 Caps- 20 both are great Jets- 22 Keep the RR content coming. I got my NYR this year but something about it makes it so mid
Will say it until I am blue in the face. The rangers should have taken their 85th anniversary “New York” Jersey and flipped the colors to make a cream-white version for reverse retro. I may be the only one who wants it, but my goodness do I want it.
I agree that the 2020 RR for Buffalo is better, and it's amplified when you include the entire uniform, with the pants, socks, and gloves. Buffalo's in 2020 was a very nice combination, whereas the 2022 combo is wayyyyy too much white.
Cursed video, can see Shannon’s arms
This is Reverse Retro Shannon
Hairy** arms
look at those arms. Sasquatch has been hiding on youtube all this time.
Are you sure? It looks like he has a sweater on to me
The arms are one thing but have you seen the top of his head😳 Those vids are few and far between but they do exist
Using the orange throwback NHL shield was huge.
Such a small detail really ties everything together.
I really like the orange and black NHL logo. I think it looks good on all the jerseys.
It does look so good. For the Hurricanes Reverse Retro, it doesn't make sense as it is based on their current away jersey which began in 2019 and the orange NHL logo was long gone.
Facts
The best change is that it's not the tacky looking rubber shield anymore.

@@codysandusky2130 I used to listen to you on the radio.

kings should consider switching full time...purple and gold with the Gretzky era logo at home, and while with the crown on the road.
@@kj6446 Kings fans have been saying for years that the purple and gold need to be the team’s colors. Don’t think anyone is a huge fan of the current lack of colors or logo with the exception of the team itself. The first reverse retro is absolutely perfect.

Love your jersey videos. Was inspired by your collection and recently bought my first nhl jersey. Had to pick up the new Pittsburgh reverse retro and I love it.
The 2022 CBJ jersey is hands down the best of their two efforts.
From one Philip to another. Total agreement.
All they need to do now is stick the Cannon logo on the chest, and they suddenly become one of the coolest looking teams in the league.
I liked the red one a lot more.
Florida's 2022 Reverse Retro jersey looks like something out of a Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville concept.
I haven’t seen anyone rank all 63 reverse retro uniforms. It seems like a big chore, but a great piece of evergreen content.
While I really liked the steel gray 2020 WPG jersey - there is no denying that the 2022 version is SO sharp. Really hope it becomes a regular jersey.
You could say that Arizona went from dusk till dawn.
I'll see myself out.
Was under the assumption that the grey in the leafs 2020 jersey was for the blue jays … or maybe that was just how I rationalized them using grey … but absolutely love this years leafs RR jersey!
The orange oil drop on the Oilers 2022 reverse retro jersey is really nice.
Love the Tampa Love!!! Keep on being great!!!
My all-time favorite NHL jersey is the early 70s "stick-in-rink" Canucks road jersey. That 2022 Vancouver retro is sweet too.
My favorite part of the 2022 lineup is the retro NHL logo, its great to see the orange again.
And best of all, it's not the junk rubber material.
Cool that you have all the reverse retro jerseys in your collection!
Yay :) i was really looking forward to videos to where you showed of all the new RRs with your thoughts on the jerseys up close

For the Rangers Reverse Retro jerseys I do like both but I gotta go with the 2.0 Reverse Retro jersey over the 1.0 Reverse Retro jersey because they added the red on the sleeves and also added their own blue on the jersey the 1.0 Reverse Retro jersey is ok but sucks they didn't add the red on the sleeves it looks like a plain jersey, for the Islanders I gotta go with the 2.0 Reverse Retro jersey over the 1.0 Reverse Retro jersey why because they bring back the Fisherman sorta the Fisherman logo looks so good in the Primegreen sucks that they didn't add no teal, no waves, and no Lighthouse on the shoulders really bummed about that the 1.0 Reverse Retro jersey is a copy of their home jersey they darken the jersey and switch the stripes orange on the bottom, white on top, finally the Devils it's kinda hard which one I like better but gotta go with the 1.0 jersey more love the green which everyone calls the Christmas jersey the 2.0 jersey is nice but trying to figure out what are they based off the Kansas City Scouts or the Colorado Rockies or both teams combined.
Been waiting for the video!! Let’s goo
Both Kings' retros are awesome; I'll take em both. 😃😃
On Vegas, the first was a throwback to the Las Vegas Thunder, while the current one is more of tribute to the city as it existed in 1995. Lettering based on the fairly new (at the time) Excalibur Hotel & Casino, and neon hadn't yet had it's swan song. I really wish you'd have shut off the lights and hit the 2022 jersey with black light to show it off.

Great video. I love polls, maybe to save time you could skip the obvious ones like NYI
I followed along and I personally gave the edge to 2020 16-15. I think both years had their share of amazing and questionable jerseys
I did exactly the same but it came to 18-13 for 2020
Very funny video. I enjoyed the subtle humor, and I never comment.
I’d love to know what you think about the Sabres 3rds this year. Obviously not the reverse retro but definitely a reverse. I can tell you locally they are a huge hit here in Buffalo, they win in them and they remind all of us of the Hasek glory days. I own a late 90s original and bought the new one. They cleaned up the lining and sleeves and in person they truly are spectacular. I would love them to become our regular 3rds.
I totally agree with Shannon on the grey in the previous retro Leafs jerseys. It should've been white. As a Leafs fan I'd love an 80's retro but I know it'll probably never happen because Ballard. I have a real soft spot for those jerseys because it's when I became a Leafs fan (86-87) as a kid born and raised in the Toronto area.
I love taking polls…. Autocorrect wanted me to say that I love taking pills. 😊 Anyway I like both of the Avs sweaters but I leaned towards the older one which had the Nordiques logos with the Avalanche color scheme. I was a Colorado Rockies fan the first time my uncle took me to a game when I was a little menace to society. And when they left for New Jersey in the middle of the night I was a Colorado Flames fan! Then the Denver Grizzlies came to town and kicked buttocks with the Avs coming the next year. I would think that the New Jersey Devils should be the rightful users of the old Rockies colors but that’s my opinion. Thanks for another great video my man. 🏒🥅🚨
That's why I disable autocorrect.
capitals and Penguins nailed them. great jerseys
I really want to pickup the Canucks reverse retro jersey, I love the style but unfortunately I just can't justify the price
They are cheaper at SportsK.
I LOVE the 2022 Sharks jersey. I'm honestly surprised you didn't like it as much as everyone else.
It's nothing but drab text. The old seal with the stick was so much better.
I will say that the Hawks 2022 RR look real sharp on the ice with the whole uniform. Real cool striping.
I just got a z #46 kit sewn on for my Anaheim 1.0 reverse retro. I am one happy jersey collector
On TV, the Flyers jerseys when viewed from behind looks like a black and white TV
Both of those Lightning jerseys are so good
As for Montreal Canadiens, you are right, it is a "Expos colour" not a "City colour" like they pretend. I live in Montreal and I have never seen that colour on anything city-related. But I did see the Expos wearing that a lot in my youth...!!!!
Dallas needs to go to a jersey in the vein of their 2022 on a full time basis.
Sophie's choice on the Lightning jersey!
Also between the two Kings jerseys.
I much prefer the pens black R&R that they use as their third jersey this year . Almost like a black out jersey besides the numbers and letters . Super clean with little hits of yellow
Me too. I resented the white Reverse Retro so much.
I hope the wild bring back the red jersey
I really wasn't a fan of the Canucks Reverse Retro, but after seeing this video I like it more. I really think its the numbers on the front that kill it for me
2022 Devils.
2022 Flames.
2022 Stars.
2020 Panthers.
These are my favourites.
Both Flames jerseys are awesome!
Great video, I think Bettman should have a Santa hat on
I like that Philly brought back the Cooperalls, but San Jose missed on bringing back the white skates with their RR 2.0s
I bought the Kings RR jersey this year. its amazing. might buy the Leafs but im not sure, it's pretty similar to the 2014 winter classic i have.
Note about Calgary's reverse retro...the sleeve stripe narrows to meet the collar in the back, rather than being consistent as in the front, so to me it looks a little weird, almost reminiscent of the Flyers jersey
Petition to get a Shannon themed jersey where the forearms just actually look like his forearms
Toronto's 2020 Reverse Retros were disappointing for a number of reasons. But they didn't have to be. The Leafs had used a shiny silver on their shoulder patches before in the 90s and 2000s. They could have been alright if they want with that silver colour instead of a gross and depressing grey.
I think part of the problem with the Lady Liberty jersey is that they did both a blue and white version for home and away so you can't really reverse it. The 2021 jersey is slightly different but not really enough. At least they did something different with the 2022 and made it the current colours. That being said they should have just done it in white and called it a day. I would give it to the 2022 jersey as well for the same reason Shannon did, at least they did something more different with it.
They could have made it red
Anaheim is definitely a reverse retro. Their original design with current colors. I keep on seeing people say they wished it was the eggplant color..i’m like no then it’s just a throwback. Or when i see the Bruins should’ve done black..right because the logo would not be completely lost.
I like 2.0 St. Louis more than 1.0, Senators 1.0 more than 2.0, Predators 1.0 more than 2.0, Blue Jackets 1.0 slightly more than 2.0, The Kings 1.0 slightly more than 2.0 & Sharks 2.0 more than 1.0.
Logos will always beat out word marks for me!
Preach on. I can't agree more.
I'm a Vegas resident & fan. I much prefer our red jersey over the glow in the dark one. I get people like the gimmicky & flashiness of it because "its Vegas", but it just feels too gimmicky for me. I might be in the minority on that, but ah well. That's just how I feel.
and sure, put a poll up for the jerseys. Maybe it'll turn out I won't be alone on that after all lol
Love seeing the side-by-side for each uni - as noted in the review, the 2022 Blues RR is... garish with the yellow, but I'm still happy with the novelty of seeing the prototype logo make a few appearances on the ice.
Sidebar on RR items - has anyone had any luck or have recommendations for where to find RR hats? I've been looking for a fitted or snapback hat for a few of this year's RRs (Capitals and Jets, namely), but haven't seen them on NHL Shop or many other sites. Thanks!
The team stores should have some.
As a wild fan, I must say that when the new jerseys were released, thought it was kind of lame to just make a home version of the last RR, but they show up on the ice a lot better imo
That gold St. Louis Blues jerzey is dope. They should make that their home jersey
LA with the Crown is beautiful.
The Sabres demon Goat Head in their traditional blue and gold is nice.
The Islanders with the fisherman makes me want to eat fishsticks.
Florida's in the powder blue is sweet, and you could substitute a golf club for the hockey stick in late spring.
could you show the numbers on the back in any detail in a future videos like this please thatd be sick! Love the channel
Leafs this year were less clunky. Calgary's are both good. Vancouver and Winnipeg did fine.
Detroit fan here. Kinda wish they just made black stripes white with detroit in red, then it would be a proper reverse retro. But they’re probably just testing to see fan reaction with black on a jersey. It looks fine, but a simple red base with white stripes would’ve looked a lot better imo.
2020 blew a bigger lead than the Habs.

Keep the RR content coming. I got my NYR this year but something about it makes it so mid
I say for 2024, Vancouver should do the current logo on with the skate colors (the dark jersey).
Rockies is great, but Nordiques is THE BEST Reverse Retro.
Minnesota's are absolutely beautiful too.
Will say it until I am blue in the face. The rangers should have taken their 85th anniversary “New York” Jersey and flipped the colors to make a cream-white version for reverse retro.
I may be the only one who wants it, but my goodness do I want it.
A jersey-less Shannon is always cursed.
The OG Panthers crest is so fucking nice lol
Like....so good.
Oh!
I agree that the 2020 RR for Buffalo is better, and it's amplified when you include the entire uniform, with the pants, socks, and gloves. Buffalo's in 2020 was a very nice combination, whereas the 2022 combo is wayyyyy too much white.
Great video
