adidas and NHL Unveil 'Reverse Retro' Alternate Jerseys for All 31 Clubs

PRESALE FOR THE DUCKS REVERSE RETRO JERSEY IS OPEN NOW. The presale will run through Nov. 30 and will be available for pick up at the Ducks Team Store at Honda Center and for general sale on Dec. 1. The jersey will be available for shipment in North America.
adidas and the National Hockey League today unveiled the adidas Reverse Retro ADIZERO Authentic jerseys for all 31 NHL teams to be worn next season - marking the first time in League history that all 31 teams have participated in a League-wide alternate jersey program. adidas worked closely with the NHL and each team to design a Reverse Retro jersey representing unique and historical moments in each club's history, while refreshing the color and design combination for an all-new presentation.

Anchored in white with eggplant and jade striping, the jersey features the design from the team's iconic "Breakout" jersey worn during the 1995-96 season. The jersey features sublimated artwork depicting the Ducks mascot, Wild Wing, breaking through the ice. Linking the team's past and present, the jersey incorporates the unique lettering from the "Breakout" jersey that has not been used on an authentic jersey since 1995-96. The "Breakout" jersey was the team's first-ever alternate jersey and is the only Mighty Ducks jersey to feature the team's mascot. The jersey continues to be one of the Ducks most requested by fans, as it was worn on ice and available for resale for only the 1995-96 season.

The adidas Reverse Retro program creates a new formula to showcase the passion of the fans. The overarching design theme during adidas' two-year-long process was to mine each team's jersey archive and team colors, remixing them to create something new and never seen before. With that in mind, adidas created uniquely distinct and desirable jerseys that incorporated inverted team colors.
"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 team's history with something new via designs that have never been seen before in the sport."
Brian Jennings, NHL Chief Brand Officer and Senior Executive Vice President added, "NHL team jerseys have long carried deep historical significance for avid and casual hockey fans. Through the years, the design of each team jersey has evolved to balance history and authenticity with cultural touchpoints. 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."

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.
