That Devils color scheme is pathetically awful! Almost as bad as their hideously ugly black and white striped 3rd jersey. Just go back to the red and green and stop trying to fix something that wasn’t broken

Totally agree. Devils Christmas Tree sweaters are some of my all-time favorites. They should be the regular jerseys.

Panthers sign Andrew Hammond of ‘The Hamburglar’ fame to a PTO.

Really too bad Maurice didn't bring over Charlie Huddy as your defensive coach - all us Jets fans LOVED him!!!

Lol, stick with me, he says after even mentioning the JetBlue jersey
Idk, the shoulder patch from that jersey also should remain buried and mostly forgotten.
The NHL post doesn’t show any of the og FL jerseys. Probably because the first reverse retros were based off of those.

I’m not sure what I’d do with colors (to fit the “reverse” part of the theme, at least). I wonder if they would even consider using the golden accent color as the primary. I kinda doubt that would really look good, though. Idk. They did the navy blue last retro jersey, this one may just use the white jersey.
I would like to see them use the expansion era Panther with the broken stick logo.
Palm tree/stick shoulder patch, or even the current arm patch to tie the jersey into the present day.

Exactly what I was thinking.

In reality, I’m cool with whatever just as long as we get the leaping cat back!

Those blue jerseys were the worst. I want no part of them showing up again

After thinking more about it, Matt may be on to something with using the JetBlue template. The first retros were based off the originals, their really isn’t much left to go off of as far as a retro look. Maybe they switch the light blue to red, idk

That’s what I was saying in the blog 👍

Use the JetBlue template but with current Florida colors and slap the leaping cat on it.

I’ve said it a thousand times when discussing jersey’s, I don’t give a poop about jerseys, they can wear pajamas as far as I could care. Just WIN

I've been very impressed with the way Huberdeau has handled himself, and just want to say one word to describe him: Classy.

I agree 100%. Huberdeau always had class and integrity. I hope he has success with the Flames.
