Rumor: New Retro Reverse Jersey design leaked?

[Breaded Fox]

Blue is a bit too bright for my taste. Actually love seeing the old school orange NHL logo. The Heritage jersey colors will always be my favorite.

 

[haohmaru]

Would've preferred a white liberty or that 70's NYR logo planted on the front of the jersey. This should've been better.

What is jersey sizing like these days for casual wear? I am 5'9", solid medium in most clothes, ~40ish suit jacket size.

I would go with a 50 if I were you. If you like a little baggy go 52

Thank you!

I’ll probably buy one eventually, I need something to replace my #18 Mark Staal jersey I feel embarrassed whenever I wear it to MSG lol

I love seeing people rocking old jerseys with players that arent on the team anymore. While i know he wasnt the most popular player at the end of his term here he did play over 10 seasons so its a solid jersey

I think he'd be swimming in that, I'm 5'9, size medium in most tees & wear a 46. It depends on his bodytype, I'm quite slim/athletic

Gotcha. That is very true. If I were @DialUp I would go try some on in that case.

I weigh ~170, not as jacked up as @Loki Dog 74 but enough.

Yeah thinking I should just walk to the NHL store and see whats up.

As expected they are just 'meh'. Just lacking in creativity and/or anything that makes it pop. If it was a school project it's the kind of thing you put together the night before and the teacher gives toy C because they're just glad you got it in on time.
You can almost hear the design meeting:

We need a new alternative for the season
Awesome! How about a Liberty?
Didn't we do that last season?
Oh yeah, how about we change the shade of blue?
Brilliant, lunch?

I know we're a storied franchise with much history and tradition but would probably to branch out just occasionally.
And yes I know " we're the blueshirts" means we can never wear anything other than blue because the universe might break and we'd stuck suddenly having to wear a novelty jersey for all eternity, but at least give it a try...

Some concepts more interesting than this in the time it took me to take the morning dump:

RR 1 - reverse the logos of the liberty so that tge original shoulder patch becomes the crest and there's now liberty on the shoulders. Boring but at least a reversal

RR 2 - reverse the colours; Red jersey. I know, sacrilegious despite there being red on all our jerseys...

RR 3 - reverse the colours; Silver jersey. Even more sacrilegious, but there's silver throughout the original liberty so it works

Random 1 - say "f*** it" and combine red and blue to get a purple jersey (red and blue make purple don't they (Art class was a long time ago and I spent most of it eating the paints...)?
Call it the the Rangers Royal Reverse Retro Range because even if it looks like crap alliteration is great!

Or you know, just do anything that isn't a blue liberty...

So muscular not fat right? lol, because 170lb muscular dude is going to be smaller than 170lb fat dude as muscle is more dense than fat. My best guess for a muscular 5'9/170lb dude would be a size 48. Definitely try em on if you can, every brand jerseys fit differently. One thing I notice about Adidas is they are really long, not sure if they've changed that since the original incarnation but I bought a Rangers jersey when they first switched to Adidas and it's longer than the Reeboks were. Don't like how they flare out at the bottom either, but they may have fixed that in later iterations.

ha yeah, I am not fat anymore! 48 might be the move.

Those are outstanding. Didn't they wear these a few times back in the Jagr days?

If anyone has a pic I’d love to see that.

We wore them in 03-04 for a few games (both blues and whites), then they got replaced by the newer heritage 3rds (diagonal New York) after the lockout.

Thank you! That’s awesome. They look sharp too. I prefer those to the other newer alternates.

 

[TriFF51]

I bet it'll look nice when they're actually on the ice.

I liked them as a once off kind of thing (I also wasn't alive to see them in the 70s), but from memory people were pretty critical of them back in 03-04. Of course that was on the Rangers bulletin board and that place was pretty crappy by then...

Can always count on Philly for trash.

I can’t determine what % of this sweater’s hype is aesthetics v. nostalgia. It’s cool though.

Once I walked pasted a ‘Gretzky 99’ white version behind a storefront window. Now, that was 100% aesthetics and 100% nostalgia.

I loved these jerseys, and would absolutely get one if they ever brought it back. They get so much hate, but I love them! Would have made for a great RR jersey.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Was just going to say that.

Im not in love with them but we will see how they look on the players, on the ice. Think its going to be pretty bright against the white ice, even with the horrible lighting in MSG

At least we ain't the Flyers. Yikes those were bad

This is a really nice touch. Should have been orange pants with a black stripe to match the jersey though.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’m trying to understand why Ryan Reaves is front and center of the marketing of these jerseys

As opposed to, idk, our new captain lol
