NHL confirms return of Reverse Retro jerseys, showcases new playoff logo

The NHL seems to be all aesthetic in its news to start the week, with confirmation of the return of the Reverse Retro jerseys and a new Stanley Cup playoff logo being revealed Monday.

Sean Shapiro of The Athletic confirmed earlier today that the Reverse Retro jerseys would be making a return next season. He also clarified that the teams would be wearing new designs next season, not re-using the jerseys from the 2020-21 season.

The Reverse Retro jerseys were a new style introduced to the NHL as teams created sweaters that took classic designs and inverted the color schemes (like the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames) or used a color scheme from a different jersey (like the Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche).

Some jerseys were met with criticism, some were met with acclaim, but there’s no doubt fans will speculate passionately in the months before the new sweaters are unveiled.

The NHL also revealed its new playoff logo Monday, offering a cleaner, simpler look than in years past. This is the first time the NHL has changed its logo since 2013.
