Jets reveal Reverse Retro Alternate Jersey

The Reverse Retro jersey combines the classic style with the team's current colorway. A throw back to 1979 honoring the Jets' first year in the league. This remixed design integrates the iconic heritage plane crest with the bold "Winnipeg" lettering. Remastered in fighter grey this jersey takes the classic heritage look that the 1980's era Jets - including legend Dale Hawerchuk - wore and gives it a modern twist.

For the first time in League history, all 31 teams are participating in the alternate jersey program. adidas worked closely with each club to design a Reverse Retro jersey that represented unique and historical moments from the team's history while remixing the colors to create something new and never seen before.
The program has been in development for the last two years.
"Hockey fans love retro jerseys and Reverse Retro is a great opportunity for adidas to work closely with the NHL and all 31 teams to bring back a design from a meaningful point in team history with a unique twist," said Dan Near, Senior Director at adidas Hockey. "Our goal from day one has been to work with the NHL and all of the teams to bring creativity, innovation and energy to the sport with all that we do. What better way to do that than to bring together the nostalgia of historical moments in each teams' history with something new via designs that have never been seen before in the sport."

Each team will wear the adidas Reverse Retro ADIZERO Authentic jersey in multiple games during the 2020-21 NHL® season with special head-to-head matchups featuring exciting and renewed rivalries - both old and new - the league will announce at a later date.
"NHL team jerseys have long carried deep and historical significance for avid and casual hockey fans," said Brian Jennings, the NHL's Chief Brand Office and Senior Executive Vice President. "Through the years, the design of each team jersey has evolved to balance history and authenticity with cultural touchpoint. The Reverse Retro program is a celebration of the hockey jersey's confluence of nostalgia, style and broad appeal. As a brand, adidas sits at the epicenter of youth, sports and lifestyle and is the ideal partner for this exciting initiative.
