Flyers, Penguins Appear To Have New "Reverse Retro" Jerseys

The Flyers' and Penguins' jerseys from the ’80s and ’90s "appear to be on their way back, just not in the way you remember them," according to Nick Tricome of the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER. Uniform watchdog Icethetics yesterday "reported on an eBay listing that led to images of new (yet to be announced) jerseys" for the Flyers and Penguins. Both jerseys "hearken back to what the clubs wore in the 1990s, but come with color reversals that fit the bill of a 'Reverse Retro' initiative that league uniform provider Adidas has been rumored to be working on." For the Flyers, that "appears to mean a modern-day edition of the orange road design they wore from 1982-2001, except the black and white on the jersey are swapped." Meanwhile, the Penguins "look to be getting a new version of the road jersey they wore from 1992-1997, with 'PITTSBURGH' spelled diagonally across the front." The jerseys in the leaked images have "Fanatics tags on them and don’t carry any obvious tells of a counterfeit" (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 10/20).
