NHL, Adidas tease return of the Reverse Retro series; Nashville and Columbus' jerseys fully leak
After nearly 10 months of speculation, the Reverse Retro jersey program is back. On Wednesday, the National Hockey League and Adidas officially released some teaser images for the uniforms for all 32 teams.
The first teaser at 11 a.m. ET didn't give away much, basically just announcing that the Reverse Retro jerseys are officially back.

After the first round of teasers were put out by Adidas and the NHL, two jerseys leaked on Twitter. @LBJerseys posted an image of Nashville's uniform, which confirms the return of the 'Mustard Cat', while Icethetics tweeted a photo of Columbus' jersey, which is an inverted version of their 2003 alternate.

The #CBJ #ReverseRetro is the latest to leak! Confirmation of the 2003 era third jersey with black and blue swapped.

In the second round of teasers today, it was pretty much the same as the first. Each team tweeted a dark video with the jersey's main colour or accent colour featured, but not much else. In each of the 32 videos put out by teams at 4:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, you can see someone modelling the jersey and some details can be seen, such as striping and font/numbering teams will be using for a couple of seconds.
In comparison to the teaser day from the Reverse Retro 1.0 line, these videos were pretty underwhelming. When the NHL and Adidas did the first set of Reverse Retro jerseys in late-2020, the teasers included images of the actual uniforms, such as a sleeve, shoulder, etc., but today there has been none of that, unfortunately.
