RELEASE: Devils Unveil Adidas Reverse Retro Jersey

In collaboration with adidas and the NHL's first league-wide alternate jersey program, the New Jersey Devils have today unveiled their adidas Reverse Retro jersey, reflecting a reverse of the team's 1982-92 uniform. The team's first-ever green-based jersey reflects the famed Pine Barrens, legendary home of the Garden State's mythical New Jersey Devil for which the team was named in 1982 following relocation and name change from the Colorado Rockies.
The Devils adidas Reverse Retro ADIZERO Authentic jersey will go on sale on December 1 at adidas.com, adidas.ca, NHLShop.com and NHLShop.ca.

"The Devils have been New Jersey's team for almost four decades. Since 1992, through three Stanley Cup Championships, the team's uniform colors, look and feel have remained consistently red, black and white. The adidas Reverse Retro ADIZERO Authentic jersey program created the opportunity for our organization to step back in time in a playful way, accentuating the Pine Barrens-inspired green that plays a significant role in our team history," said New Jersey Devils Senior Vice President of Marketing, Jillian Frechette. "In the coming months, we look forward to bringing the storied first decade of our franchise to life through storytelling, unique immersive experiences, and fan-centric promotions tied to this jersey and the games in which we will wear it."

Inspired by the legend of the Jersey Devil, a mythical creature said to have prowled the forests, marshes, and towns of Southern New Jersey in the early 1900's, the team uniform's primary color became red and was renamed the Devils in 1982 following the franchise's relocation from Colorado. Green accents on the 1982 uniform paid homage to State's moniker, "The Garden State." Consistent with the pantone colors chosen in 1982, the Devils Reverse Retro ADIZERO Authentic jersey is Green 349 and Red 032.

The jersey will be worn four times over the course of the upcoming season for games that are to be determined; match-ups will be selected to highlight the impact and influence of the Reverse Retro program. Additional creative assets will be rolled out over the coming months, including unique video content, custom apparel and player and influencer engagement.
