Maybe it started out that way from Adidas and the league and using that term, because there are a fair number of teams that did a pure reverse of a previous jersey’s colours. Habs, Pens, Devils, Blues, Flyers etc.
But some teams obviously went their own way with recolours. Kings, Wild, Canucks.
Then there were some like the Avs and Flames and others who just decided to use this opportunity to put out something they were sitting on as a organization for a while and wanted to release.
My guess is now that teams got this out of their systems, the next league wide Adidas specialty jersey program’s theme in a couple years will be more, pardon the pun, uniform, in its adoption.
