Since the rumors of a retro-inspired jersey series cropped up, we’ve been wondering what look the Anaheim Ducks will opt for in this nostalgia driven bit of capitalism. They’ve got plenty of iconic looks to draw from, as the inspired eggplant and teal color palette of the 90s was updated several times over its lifetime before the club switched to a black, orange and gold color scheme in 2006.
This new series, however, isn’t just retro — it’s “Reverse Retro,” an insane phrase that is apparently defined as “retro, with a twist.”
Earlier leaked jerseys from this series are the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins, both of whom did some color-swapping and slight alterations to jerseys the teams wore in the 80s and 90s, respectively.
