After a 2-1 loss to the Islanders in a game I thought the Devils didn't play "horrible" and didn't play like they did the first 5 games of the season, I thought Id keep it light today and talk about the best part of the night - The Reverse Retro Jerseys!
**before I ask: What is wrong with Palmieri and should take a seat for a game - or two? Can Gusev score a goal when it maters? Or score a goal? What will Vatanen and Kulikov fetch in return at the deadline? Should Zajac take a step back in favor of getting youngsters playing time? Will he finish the season a Devil? Is Subban playing for a deadline trade or new contract? Is he doing a good or bad job at that?
Since I purchased a Hughes Reverse Retro Jersey a while back, I fell in love with the color scheme taking some of the OG Christmas Jerseys from the Devils humble beginnings.
What I didn't think of was, what color pants they would wear. When I saw them on the ice the Red Pants and Green helmets made all the sense and has become my favorite of the Retro Jersey Collections - by far.
Adidas and the Devils were able to make a very similar jersey, with a color change to make it fresh and new and still keeping the tradition. I would also love for this to be a permanent 3rd Jersey for the Devils if I ran the team.
And how appropriate the debut of the jerseys were on the first night, in 357 days, the Rock had any fans in the building. Unfortunately it was a low key exit from the ice last night for the Devils as they end on a 3 game losing streak. How do you feel about the Devils' Reverse Retro Jersey? What are your top 3 Reverse Retros?
Truly yours, The Devils Advocate
