Predicting far left.

Edit: all good points about it being a palette preview, with consistent design for the purposes of the commercial.

Hot damn I like the look of the first two. Not a blasty fan, but could live with the design as you've laid out here. Nicely done!

[OminousFlames]

As for the post above with the alternate jerseys, I think the flaming red 'C' looks out of place, unless they darken it a bit. The flaming white 'C' looks more crisp.

So the Flames are just bringing back Blasty on a black jersey? Flames taken the safe route on the reverse retro theme, then.

The year noted is either the year style/color of jersey that teams are using as the basis (see Colorado and the 1979 Nordiques recolor) or an element from that year of jersey (if the Isles 80 is blue as it appears and they are not flipping jersey colors, they would likely have a different logo on the front).

So if that is the case, since the Flames already had a black jersey in 1998 (with Blasty) it's either flipping the red/white pedestal to make it a black pedestal as the "reverse color" route, or, taking the route of using an element from the 1998 jersey set (Blasty) and underwhelmingly putting it on another era jersey design (and that only reasonably could be the 1980-95 set since the 2004-2007 jersey design is the same as the original 1998 Blasty design and I doubt they use the Edge design or Western design) that is black.

So, my guess then since Blasty talk isn't going away, is the latter. Therefore I think it looks like this, except the jersey is black and not white.

I would be surprised if the waist striping wasn't either pedestal striping or the 04 Chevron striping.

I think the two-line design is just for the Adidas teaser.

[Ashasx]

I'm confused. Based on the Twitter video, are all teams using the same jersey, just with a colour palette / logo swap?

If so, huge disappointment.

[the-rasta-masta]

I think that everybody will have different designs. This is just a palette teaser.

No, it’s just simplified for the teaser. We’ve already seen the Vegas, Philly, Boston, and Pittsburgh jerseys.

I think/hope that was purely for the teaser video so they don't give away the actual jersey. If not im with you and will call this a big bust

I think the leftmost design would be pretty decent and looks pretty close to what the preview showed.

Given the rumors of the "biggest reaction" though, there might be an unexpected detail or two coming.

Can the guy that was posting those awesome realistic mock ups do a few variations of that colour scheme?

[getbak]

Some people commented about the possibility of it being the retro stripes on a black jersey with the horse head. I tried both variations...

Here's the white jersey recoloured...


Here's the red jersey recoloured...



The top one looks like something you could buy at Wal-Mart in the early 2000s. The bottom one just looks like Boston's jersey from the 80s.

If 98 is a clue, I say black pedestal.

If 98 is a clue for anything, it would be for Blasty. Pedestals started in '95. Blasty started in '98.

I, for one, re-welcome our fire-sneezing Stallion of Doom.

[N-E-B]

I still think the safest bet is the original Blasty jersey with the C as the main logo and Blasty on the shoulders.

I want a black pedestal though. Or just the original Blasty.

I think you missed the point of the reverse retro though. You just made new jerseys using the intentionally vague plain template for all 31 teams used in the teasers.

Yes. The striping pattern is very likely going to be from some era of Flames jersey.

The color and type of the said striping pattern on presumably black jerseys and the logos to be used, are the only mystery at this point IMO.

The bottom one with the yellow and red flipped in the stripes might be awesome. A little less Bruins with less yellow and more Flames with more red.

I’m wondering if it’ll be a blasty concept except the reverse retro will be just the logos being switched around

[TheScorpion]

I saw there was some discussion about this earlier. The RR jerseys are indeed intended to be worn against each other. The exact scheduling and logistics of that are still up in the air.

[Mattman]

What does reverse retro even mean?

What I'm picking up is that they are a ungodly coloured version of a jersey with a random logo from each team past. I am not complaining but I'm just not sure I follow..
