These Reverse Retros are supposed to be about nostalgia though and for 4 games it’s okay if it’s ugly.

In terms of the Blasty jersey I don’t think the organization really wanted to make it the third TBH, but when fan response was so positive to the Reverse Retro they went that direction.

Also I give the current group (Ryan Popowich) some credit. It wasn’t them that stuck with the ugly jerseys through the 90s and 2010s, and once they entered the fray (and Ken King sadly got sick) they were able to make the required changes to the brand.
