So many are simply re-used styles with the color flipped. Yes... hence the name reverse retro. An old style with the colours flipped.

I want nothing to do with taking a colour weve never used off of thr Nordiques The Expos powder blue would have had local/historical significance and honour a Montreal sports team But regardless ... we disagree ... and I am fine with that ... totally get where you are cooming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Pre Ordered a Kotkaniemi. Obviously I like the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I would actually rather get one of their blue practice sweaters. And actually wear it when playing. But does anyone sell those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In total contrast, to the lame laughs effort😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I love the Habs reverse retro. Personally don’t think it looks anywhere close to T-O ish because of the red, but hey that’s just my opinion. I’d get one if I had the cash! Probably a Suzuki I really like most of the other teams as well, I guess I like the aesthetic. Other than the Habs my favourite are probably the kings, wild, and yes the YOTES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I agree that it does’t resemble, or reminds me of the Leafs in any way. It’s more similar to Tampa Bay blue. I also agree that the logo itself remaining red was a smart call. The jerseys are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not at all the impression that name gave me. I was expecting them to be the opposite, or reverse (since it sounds cooler with the alliteration), of retro, meaning something completely new.

They have been marketed as the reverse colour scheme of one of the teams old jerseys if you watch the videos. The habs teasers had 76 on the jerseys, not for subban but for 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, the Jackets absolutely should have paid homage to an old minor league team, given their lack of history. Use the Jackets name and colors on this classic Chill jersey design.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I am OUTRAGED that the Habs did not go with the "reverse barber pole" look!! 🤬Talk about a missed opportunity to induce seizures among TV viewers everywhere. Shame on this once-proud franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on this once-proud franchise. 1912-1913 was a rather uneventful season in Habs history. The Quebec Bulldogs won the league, and the Habs ended in 4th, tied in points with the Ottawa Senators, and the Toronto Blueshirts (I’m sure a lot of people who dislike the Habs jersey will enjoy that name) I also think if any Jersey resembles the Leafs, it’s that one. Look at those helmets. No, your joke didn’t go over my head. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I liked the old 3rd jersey. Before 09. White with dark blue stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice post! I LOVE the white-with-blue stripe. In fact, if they went with that as their official "white" jersey, I would not object at all. It's one of the top hockey jerseys ever, IMHO. The 1911-12 one above is intriguing. Did they roll that one out during the Centennial Year? I don't remember seeing it. Looks like a fun potential candidate for future use as an alternate (at some point). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna rant on how odd it was and what is with the white stripe. But, just my opinion and am sure all versions would appeal to someone. I had em backwards. You meant same as BCHabNut.

Commandant Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The barber pole looks awesome in person. I love mine They look Terrible on TV though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 One point, too, is that back in the 1910s, the shape of the sweaters was much different because there was little bulky equipment under it. Look at Don's photos -- the barber pole is a slim-cut sweater, and it looks good with that cut! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point. Now that I think of that, a friend has that one and it did look cool in person. Def doesn’t translate to tv and not sure the old school brown gloves helped the look either.
