NHL Reverse Retro by Edward Stefaniak

    We need to talk about the NHL Reverse Retro jerseys. I know this is old news but seriously, did adidas even try? Sure some of these teams got it right like Colorado and Los Angeles, but others seriously missed the mark. Did Adidas even supervise these choices before sending it to production? Particularly I am talking about the Islanders, Red Wings and the Jets. They are pathetic excuses for a third or fourth jersey. The Red Wings not only are a sad team but now they have a sad third jersey thus completing the circle of sadness that is Detroit. 
    
And the islanders, they are seriously the most boring team in hockey, all of their jerseys are the same just a different shade of blue. As a hockey fan I wanted the gorton's fisherman jersey or at least the template. The wavy striping on the shouler and midriff would have been sick, its the only time the islanders tried to be different. Instead the same boring template with the same boring logo for the same boring team. 
    
The jets at least tried, maybe too hard. They failed but they tried. They completely missed the mark on the colors when they could have incorporated Atlanta Thrashers colors or even a red jersey with a blue and white logo like Columbus did. Laine looks better in that anyways.

Last the Anaheim Ducks, they wore those for 3 games back in the 90s for a fucking reason. They are ugly as ugly can be. Out of every team, no team has been marketed like them. The Movies, the cartoons, the history, TEEMU FUCKING SELANE. And yet they chose these god awful jerseys to go with the gongshow of a team right now. If I was an Anaheim fan I would be pissed that they didn’t use the purple and teal 90s jerseys and make it make it purple with a teal midriff and the duck goalie mask as the logo.

All in all most teams got this right, Vegas gets no complaints because they are just too new. And other sad teams like the Sabres got sick jerseys. Maybe if these teams tried they would have been on the top. Especially Detroit, but instead they focused on losing too much.
