Here's Edmonton fwiw.

The Edmonton jersey should be their regular jersey with "STUPID" written diagonally down the chest instead of a crest.

I think it’s a reach as well, but the internet is sensitive these days.

I do get strong “What makes the red man red” vibes off it, so I can only imagine what Twitter would do with it.

No worries, it is more of my prediction for the reverse retro as opposed to what I actually want, which would be a black jersey with a red Flaming C and Blasty on the shoulders where he belongs.

Carolina is bringing back Pucky and a jersey in Whalers colors.
Colorado is bringing back the Nordiques in Avs colors.
The Wild are bringing back the Northstars color combo.
The Flames are bringing back Blasty.

I don't know about you guys but I'm happy!

If only the Jets would respect their past and have brought back a baby blue Thrashers inspired jersey. Oh well

Interesting how this guy has additional pics of the bottom hem or is that just a concept?

Looks like Colorado tried to hide the surprise.

Seems like he has more photos from the same photoshoot that the teaser photos were from. Thus, he's releasing photos the organization won't yet release.

I'm slightly disappointed there is that little tab/loop thing. It will be on all of them.

What a hideous piece of crap! I thought they were going baby blue? This isn’t a Nordiques tribute. It’s a giant middle finger.

Well the Reebok ones used to have a 2” x 4” tag sewn on the front. This is a serious improvement.

True. I took a stitch ripper to that and got rid of it though. This looks like it will be on the on-ice jerseys to me, since there hasn't been a difference (appearance wise) between the Adidas retail and on-ice so far.

Just a personal preference, but I don't like the jersey from before the move thing ... that's from a different city.

So no go for Whalers and Nordiques for me.

I do like the Jets using technically an old Coyotes jersey from the 80s, and I like the Wild using the Northstars though .... jersey belongs to a city, not a franchise. Glad we've never used the "A" as a primary.

Watch it be an "A" now on a blasty jersey

It's not a tribute jersey and baby blue flowers wouldn't really be a reverse retro would it?
Are we sure it and Carolina are using Nordiques and Whalers logos as the main logo? Im guessing no. A recolored Avs logo (one of them) and with the whale logo on the shoulders, my guess is a Carolina logo (likely the hurricane, not the flag logo) in green. Same goes with Minnesota, a North Stars recolored Wild logo.

[Coach]

The Hurricanes should try to incorporate the Whalers logo into their scheme, IMO. It already has the 'H', I feel like the whale tail could be re-imagined as a flag or wind gust or something.

Edmonton should do that stupid Gear/oil drop crest with their classic colours.

[JohnnyB]

Both blasty and the pedestal suck. They're both ugly. They both are associated with dark times in Flames history. Neither is worth bringing back into the present.

I feel the same way. Loved how the Hitmen paid homage to former Calgary teams.

Of course Nordiques and Whalers are two of the nicest sweaters ever, so guess I wouldn’t mind seeing some variation on the ice.

Yep it seems “off” and a team in Denver sporting Fleur de lis makes no sense.

These new teams immediately cut ties with their old city changing the names, colours, and identity yet now they want to embrace the past when there is jersey money to be made.
