A real jerk thing
Lotta weird kids in this thread who always want to play as Gretzky or Mario in the street hockey pickup game.
Id wear a signed adams one and take mock fight selfies with anyone wearing a Malkin jersey at games
@Scandale du Jour I think it's kinda weird that all of the jerseys are trying to go for the same era of retro. I'd like to see a bit more freedom for clubs to celebrate eras that have some sort of great historical significance to the club, moreso than just "Hey, let's do a 90s throwback this year! The kids like the 90s, right?"
As I said, it is mostly just a gimmick to generate revenues in these tough times. The NHL never did that before. Third jerseys, yeah. But a coordinated marketing campaign in which EVERY team introduced a 3rd (or 4th or 100th) jersey? So artificial.
There was no requirement that the jerseys had to be based off 1990’s jerseys. But as you see on this board, people are usually obsessed with 1990’s jerseys, even if the jerseys were terrible back then.@Scandale du Jour I think it's kinda weird that all of the jerseys are trying to go for the same era of retro.

Also:
“Each jersey was inspired by one worn by the team during a season with some historical significance; the entire design process took about two years. Teams will wear the jerseys multiple times this season, including designated rivalry games.”
NHL Reverse Retro jerseys: Grades for all 31 new alternates
This was in the works before Corona; this isn’t some half ass effort by the league to generate income due to COVID. Shame on the wings and islanders for not even trying. Don’t hate on the league if you don’t like the jerseys, hate the teams that mailed it in.
The problem is that the Pens have been involved with so many outdoor games, recently had blue jerseys and just introduced a yellow third jersey. They are probably running out of ideas at this point. They have had to create 5 stadium/winter classic jerseys over the last 12 years, and changed their primary jerseys during that time.
Mehhh who knows what the teams told the design people. Do you think Lou Lamarello said have fun with it? Do you think the consultants that worked with Detroit were pleased with the finished product? We don’t know we teams told the designers. Maybe the Pens didn’t want to use Robo Penguin.Id fire the design group that took two years for this shit and hope they were blacklisted from the entire industry
Reverse Retro Jerseys Being Stitched
I think the jersey looks much sharper in this video. Colors look nice and vibrant. I think this will look solid in play. I'll definitely buy one.
Bizarro Sid?There is a video of Sid in it with an actual goatee and it looks pretty good.
Now this is something I could get behind.We'll wear them in all games at MSG just to troll the Rangers

Eh, may as well quote what I wrote on the main board since it got buried there already.
