More color vs color games likely in the future which I’m a huge fan of. And also new lineup reported for next year👀 The wallet really hates to see these coming
I honestly don’t care what the topic is, all I will say is this picture of two Original Six teams is fucking beautiful. I’m a huge Wings fan, and love the Centennials. But the NYR did a hell of a job too and whenever I see this I remember the love of this sport. My grandpa took my dad to the Olympia. My Dad took me to the Joe, and one day I’ll take my kid to LCA.
Hear me out… the NHL should do an “Ugly Sweater” series where each team brings out their ugliest/most obscure uniforms in history for a couple games around Christmas
I watched a video on this the other day coincidentally, you know shits hit the fan when even the fans are split on the jerseys but it’s just being shoved into their face for merchandizing schemes.
These throwbacks are fantastic. I cannot wait until the NHL has the balls to do a sweater vs sweater outdoor game. That, my jersey loving friends, will be the best throwback game in NHL history.
I’m talking sweaters. The fucking woolies that itch and aren’t at all good at repelling water or sweat. It would be really interesting to see feedback from NHL players about this.
I’m honestly not sure. They love the outdoor games despite the ice being worse. Maybe they’ll just love the sweaters bc they add to the outdoor games lore and that’s enough to make up for the fact woolies can be a little heavier. After all, the OG winter classics were always in cold AF places and you saw players layering up w long underwear to stay warm. Sweaters were worn bc of when the game was outside the wool kept them warmer. No need for em once they went indoors. Having a warmer sweater for a colder climate game could actually aid their performance. And they’d look awesome. And they don’t have to make em itchy.
I’m genuinely curious what a NHLPA poll would reveal.
It was cool to see the deep dive they went into to see what games would be possible to have color on color. They said about 49% of the remaining games in this season could have it when they factor in making sure the colors aren’t too similar, making sure any color blind players won’t have issues, and how much gear the team packs on road trips. Basically saying they know it won’t work for a team to pack a set of home jerseys for a road trip if most or all of the other games wouldn’t be able to do color on color.
And i believe i saw some insiders saying the new sweaters they plan on doing next year will be a “city connect” series. Similar to what other sports already started doing
Despite the quality issues I’ve liked a lot of the new fanatics designs. As for a whole new series, a modern Rockies/devils jersey like the RR 2.0 (or a good red/green) would make up for losing the jersey jersey tbh
Really hoping for Soccer style rules on jerseys. Have a primary and a clash. Doesn’t have to necessarily be white but as long as there’s contrast it’s fair game. Maybe even being able to change the pants and socks for different sweaters.
Can’t WAIT for everything to be cigarette smoke blasted white! Hit me and the homies up so we can make the ice be the same sickly yellow that the spots on my lungs are. Because normal white thread was unachievable before 1950.
Im all for it. Ive always said i wish NA sports would go to the European football model and have new jerseys every year. I know why it doesnt happen and I get it but I would love more variety in my Stars collection

GD I love this sport.
This photo is renaissance level
Too bad it will never be a playoff game.
Sharks have such nice Color on Color matchups with teams like Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Washington, Nashville, Calgary, Dallas, etc
Personally I’d love this
I know you’re being ironic, but I think sharks v ducks would look sick
Dallas? That would be horrible
Green versus Teal? That would be fire
Teel is too close to green. It would be a disaster
Merry Christmas

That's cool although I'm a bit worried it'll turn into the NBA where every team just wears random colours each game

So much potential teams didnt lean into in the original retro iterations.
Love to see it come back. Need Philly to have the balls to try a Black 3D.

The 2014 Winter Classic was color vs color.

I’d imagine they’d hate it.

the players wear modern under garments for outdoor games that keep them warm, plus the benches are heated
More color vs color match ups? Thank the hockey gods!!!

NHL color rush, lets goooo!
I really like my white/away Islanders jersey though
just make the white jersey the home jersey and you’d have more color each game
THANK YOU!!!
Yes!
Hell yes. I'll take all the Reverse Retros I can get.

I'm hesitantly excited if Tampa gets a new third or RR that's actually good unlike this stadium series jersey
I want a white dome Caps jersey.
So when the Ducks play the Flyers, are we just going to hope they pass to the correct team each time?
I dig it but I'm worried they'll over do it, I love white jerseys personally
Because the nhl tries to copy anything the nba does, except for the ratings and the whole being affordable part

Hell yeah! I'm a huge fan of the color-on-color concept
As long as there’s enough contrast between them or a pattern or something, otherwise i’m screwed if a blue and green team play each other 😫😫😫
Now can we watch the games on TV?
NHL: lol no
Bloods vs crips
Blues current white jerseys are their best though
Give me the Flying V back

praying it isn't just a rr3.0
enough throwbacks, need new designs entirely
Well based on the second photo in OPs post, it’s gonna be like the RR series
I took that as "it will be a league wide series just like the Reverse Retros were a league wide series" over "it will be like reverse retro again"
Not a fan.
Hate color vs color. Home team in the color. Road in white. As it’s supposed to be.
Except that home teams played in white for years and years and years until the NHL decided they needed to be more like the other pro sports leagues.
Mistakes were made. And corrected. It is back to how it should be. Color at home. White on the road.
Im all for it. Ive always said i wish NA sports would go to the European football model and have new jerseys every year. I know why it doesnt happen and I get it but I would love more variety in my Stars collection
