Predicting ALL 31 Reverse Retro Designs

That's not too bad tbh.

According to Lebrun the latest update on next season is plan is still January 1st start date with camps opening mid December likely with an all Canada division due to border restrictions. Not really new but no changes yet. Would have to think a full plan would be forthcoming within the next week or two for January 1 start to come to fruition.

Are they going to have multiple bubble cities?

Would make sense.

Cananda
USA East
USA West

 

[Predsanddead24]

Seems unlikely the players sign onto another bubble. Could potentially have 4 divisions each playing interdivision games only with the top four in each making the playoffs though.

 

[BigFatCat999]

Would make sense.

Cananda
USA East
USA West

The talk is 3 US divisions and a set up of back to back to back game, then a quarantine break 2 weeks on 1 week off for family time, q time, 2 weeks etc

 

[Scoresberg]

Finally some clarity regarding the season. Have to think the 48 games is precautionary, if they have to stop the league or something like that at some point. I believe they will try to squeeze the 60-70 games out of this after all.

Fossil logo confirmed to be on the retro-reverses

 

[bdub24]

I kinda wish they would have used the navy 3rd pred head...or even the mustard cat head....that one had tons of character. I know it wasnt everybodys cup to tea but TONS of detail.

 

[Predsanddead24]

New jerseys. I don't hate the color combo but not a fan of the spiky design on the sleeves.

I really dig some of the ridiculous throwbacks like the Wild Wing that other teams got.

I am also in favor of the more ridiculous ones. As some may recall, my family trends to being Dallas Stars fans. And I get lots of heat for liking the "space cow" best.

To me, if the jersey is just going to be a little tweak on the standard colors and logo, what's really the point?

 

[Legionnaire11]

It's not the worst thing, but I would have loved a navy jersey.

 

[jumb0]

Not great, not terrible.

Here's the thread that has all of them. Some of these are really really good.

 

[Predsanddead24]

Yeah I'd say we're middle of the pack. I'll be interested to see what they look like with the full uniform.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

that jersey is blah. there are some out there that look really great. this was a missed opportunity for the preds. the same group that buys all jerseys will nab this one but it won't sell. it's not that nice of a look.

overall, I'm disappointed. my favorite is anaheims.

 

[Adz]

So they went back to the original logo and changed a patch. Not REALLY retro, in my book. Silver and blue would have been retro.

Money.

But my sentiments as well. that's not really retro and there's not really much there that hasn't been done or seen. what's the point? $$$

It's called reverse retro not retro with a twist to be honest

I like most of the jerseys revealed today.
Detroit, Dallas and NYI dropped the ball the most imo.

Yeah it's pretty clear the whole point of this is to be a cash grab, but if getting a mediocre third jersey is the difference between having a season or not this year I'm all for it. Hell, let's do like the lower level minor leagues and have themed jersey nights every other game if that's what it takes.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Ours is boring. Some are pretty horrific (Dallas, Leafs), or even more boring than us (Detroit), but there's not really much going on for us.

 

[triggrman]

I like it.

 

[OldFan]

Canadiens and St Louis look great. Even NJ.
Preds (sighs). If $,s is what this is all about the Preds will be disappointed. Something radical that everybody just has to have is the thing or bright use of color. This jersey is colored up like the current jersey(Yes, I know its different). At first glance you think it’s the current jersey and then you notice the changes.

It’s a shame that the Preds are on the same display as the Canadiens.

 

[Armourboy]

Rangers and Avs I like, although the original Nordiques is probably my favorite sweater of all time.

I'm disappointed in ours. Its not good or bad, it just is. The Winter Classic is better imo.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I won't buy one. I would need something more novel. Some teams did that, bringing back alternative logos and/or making a more dramatic shift in color schemes. That's what would inspire me to buy another jersey. Not just a little tweak on the status quo. The market of people who have to have every single version of a team jersey has to be pretty narrow. The pick or the bones as the front logo, or some radically different colors is what I would have needed.
