Better update Philly after you get yourself a pair of Cooperalls

[@stevekendra8983]

Imagine a Seattle jersey with an actual kraken depicted in the pacific northwest native theme as a tie in to the thunderbirds. I dont think addias could make enough

[@theawayfan6052]

Shannon you are the man, thanks for all that you do boss.

[@jerseyguroo]

I honestly like the addition of the fight strap. Makes hockey jerseys unique.

[@speedshark2911]

As a fellow jersey collector, for 30+ years, I think this era we are in now is the best when it comes to style and color. Especially with honoring heritage with the reverse retro line-ups. My favs are Capitals, Penguins and Flames. Least are Flyers and Kraken for me.

[@DBSG1976]

I'm a Kraken fan and love their home/away jerseys and for some reason I can't stand the Reverse Retro ones.

[@Andernol]

@@DBSG1976 well the whole point of the reverse retro is to bank on nostalgia, which is really hard to do for a team that's only 2 years old. In my opinion, the red line on the main jerseys ties the logo and the jersey together. Without that element, the tiny bit of red on the logo clashes with the entire rest of the jersey and sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@CinCee-]

That Krakens jersey is dope

[@ajbolt7]

The Canucks reverse retro this season has grown on me in a huge way after seeing it in action. I absolutely love the deep blue.

[@sdeepj]

I would love to see Chicago and Detroit play each other with those jerseys

[@JohnDoe-ff2fc]

utter chaos, love it.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

Please let this happen.

[@AntiBellum]

The Stars reverse retro looks great with the green that starts at the collar and goes down the arms

[@mattmackay106]

Shannon holding up the stars jersey with the Christmas tree lights shiny through the material emulating stars is I’m sure unintentional…but that looked awesome

[@flamingo51144]

As a Leafs fan I bought the reverse retro 2.0 and I was not planning on buying any other teams but when I saw the LA Kings, I had to have it. In my opinion the Kings reverse retro is #1 in my book.

[@stephanechamberland8486]

Most beautiful : Kings Least beautiful , nearly horrible : Oilers Great video !

[@fantasticvoyage262]

Oilers is easily one of the ugliest.

[@shoeshine2914]

Seattle’s feels half finished to me, with the lack of shoulder patches or anything. Would’ve loved to see the stars from the Ironmen jersey either on the upper chest or as a shoulder patch.

[@upstairscat2794]

The polarization of the robo penguin is interesting. I think nothing tops the skating penguin though. Its one of the best logos in sports. It tells you everything about the team if you were looking at it for the first time!

[@lucidityedits]

I’ve always loved the robo penguin

[@generalimlerith8356]

Thank you Shannon for repping the Flames pedestal jersey I love it too

[@gocanuckurself1]

Canucks and Sharks both wearing their retros in their game tonight. Looking forward to that.

[@Spencer8242]

what a good game!

[@milkers7919]

I disagree with your opinion on St Louis. It's a great jersey with a nice historical back story

[@davidchimes3464]

Florida is the best, totally agree. Islander fish sticks is #2 in part because it reminds me of the giant fisherman head that was on the scoreboard that would blow smoke out of it's pipe when the Islanders scored a goal (also much of Long Island has great deep sea fishing).

[@icewyre]

Do you think the NJ logo is like that because it makes a mountain looking triangle? For the Rockies sake.

[@isaacwest276]

Love these. I am really happy with this series of Reverse Retros. There's not many that I love, but I like or at least appreciate all of them. Chicago's and Detroits' are at my bottom but I am happy to see them. I don't think we should see the Sharks' again for a while but I again I liked seeing them. Adidas did a wonderful job.

[@chickenfkeryay]

100% disagree on the blues jersey being so low. It is top 10 for me and more likely around 7 at worst

[@angiebee2225]

I really love the design, but I do wish the yellow was a more muted shade. I am just not fond of dark yellow. I also don't care for red and orange, though, so I think it tends to put my jersey tastes in the minority.

[@alexandervreeland3561]

Man Ottawa should have put scooby doo eyes on the front

[@kyledouglas1394]

I just went into a jersey store the other day, and that Florida one really draws your eyes to it.

[@hanslamontagne]

didn't know flames were ever first! very nice though. That being said I agree those Florida jerseys are so sick.

[@JragoRahder]

I love the overall Canucks reverse retro uniform; the antique-looking dull gold on the gloves and helmet is awesome

[@marcolucchin9391]

The Florida one is gorgeous in person. Super glad I got that one

[@richardferguson6893]

Love that Canadiens shirt; almost pulled the trigger on buying one last week and definitely miss the Expos.

[@Footy_Fan]

I didn't agree with a whole lot of your list, but having the Panthers at #1, I am 100% in agreement on. That jersey is absolutely gorgeous. Also, I thought my Blue Jackets should have been at LEAST top 15.

[@gonuts4donuts]

I wonder if on the New Jersey RR if the horns are connected with the outline to form a triangle as an homage to the Rockies logo? Seems like the perfect time to do that, especially the first time being on a RR with the Rockies colors.

[@mightyjerseys93]

OR a triangle representing the 3 cities they’ve played in (KC, COL, & NJ) 🤔

[@ActiveFire533]

@@mightyjerseys93i think you’re both right

[@icewyre]

Nice! Been waiting for this video :)

[@TheeMasterDoge]

Vancouver has the best reverse retro jersey and no-one can argue against it

[@Progressive90]

Hot damn it.... Can't even get my hands on a Bruins retro in my size and Shannon's got all 32! It's hard being a hockey fan across the pond...

[@donellweaver5722]

As a die hard NY Sports fan that watches hockey in the New York metro area, Tri-State Area NY/NJ Rangers, Islanders, Devils I do have all 3 Reverse Retro 2.0 jerseys and all 3 look good in person I even got the beanie knit hats to match the Reverse Retro 2.0 jerseys

[@SharkForge29]

Hey Shannon! I see you have a ton of the same hanger. I imagine you have a lot of experience trying out different kinds of hangers. Which do you prefer the most for your collection? I use these heavy duty plastic ones... they're much thicker than normal and they seem to be doing well but I don't know if way down the road if my jerseys will develop shoulder dimples from being hung on those. What do you recommend? Pittsburgh's is my favorite by far! I am actually a super fan of the robo pen and the yellow shoulders/sleeves are so vibrant. They look incredible on the ice. I bought like 5 of those and had hockey authentic sew up a bunch of different players LOL.

[@newschooler720]

Don't love the chicago one, but as a fan I'm still gonna buy it

[@klompsauce]

Canes would be good in blue and green, making it retro

[@KGBT-PLUS]

Is there a legitimate reason as to why Canucks are avoiding the dark navy jersey that they had in 97-2007. I remember it to be their absolute best. The royal blue / green combo they're rocking right now is nowhere near as cool.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

I miss that one too.

[@alexcayer9377]

Stars looks unreal on the ice. The best one for sure.

[@joef5416]

Such a great collection!

[@topherthegopher3439]

I got myself a few RR jerseys this year and I gotta say, I love the Kings jersey! I wish they went back to purple and gold.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

I still like the purple and black better.

[@speedshark2911]

What about the Kings R.R. on black jersey instead of white? That would look amazing.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

@@speedshark2911 A good look. But probably wouldn't be my favorite.

[@topherthegopher3439]

A purple and black RR jersey would actually be nice if they chose to do another round of them.

[@MDH2181]

Flames one is nice, I picked it up, I actually liked the pedestal jerseys back in the day.

[@harper-leightonscott4566]

He didn't mention it but there's the seam that disconnects the pedestal from the rest of the jersey. I like it but that's a bummer

[@fantasticvoyage262]

@@harper-leightonscott4566 I don't like the seam either.

[@speedshark2911]

@@fantasticvoyage262 The originals had no seam at the pedestal back in the day. Great look.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

@@speedshark2911 Right. Which is why it's puzzling that CCM could make that jersey without the ugly seam. And Adidas couldn't. Do the jerseys the players wear still have that seam?

[@rickkaine2580]

Nice rankings Even though I like Philadelphia’s (as I also have mine) but I can still respect your opinion) I also already bought some of them others BTW, and yes they are very nice

[@yogibearstie]

Ducks are wearing orange pants with their RR, and it makes me wonder if they won’t adopt them as their new road whites because the Kings trainer said their old gold pants were very difficult to keep looking clean.

[@wolfgirl1722]

Idk why…..I LOVE that preds jersey! I’m a Canucks fan but I was stationed at Ft. Campbell from 02-09 and went to a lot of their games. Got two jerseys for Christmas. The leafs reversible and the Pens Winter classic jersey. I really want to pick up a few of those RR jerseys- need a Canucks, Panthers and Caps- those are top of my list!

[@DJFlozone]

Dude, your business model is awesome. Every one of those is legit a business expense

[@Jpark.]

I really want to get the krakens reverse retro if i can find it on sale. I'd like to see them bring back the totems jersey for a 3rd or metropolitans.

[@HomesByPatrick]

As a Chicago Fan....Detroit's jersey is great if you get a Larkin one with the Captain's C IMO. Also love the Stars jersey.

[@theawesomer8587]

Can we all just appreciate the fact that this guy dropped thousands of dollars on hockey jerseys just to make this video for us. Either that or him and Bettman are in cahoots together and it's really THG's fault for all of Bettman's dumb decisions.

[@fantasticvoyage262]

What's 190 X 32?

[@J_Aaron_L]

As much as I disliked the Flyers' 07 fake 3D logo, I can imagine it would have looked gorgeous with modern materials and an actual 3D stitch.

[@Leorstef]

Colorado's jersey colors are also an homage to the Denver Spurs, who were in the Western Hockey League, and won the championship in the 1971-1972 season.

[@eriksiddons4730]

The blackhawks and wings really grew on me

[@fantasticvoyage262]

I still hate both just as much since the first time I saw them.

[@mariovaccarella6854]

Yes, Shannon. I Love The Cannon Jersey For Columbus. I Think That It Should Be Their Primary Jersey.

[@Steve-xf4uv]

I never realized that the Montreal Canadiens throwback had anything to do with the Expos. Don't know how I missed that, getting old I guess. Florida's as number one I almost agree, except I really liked the old jersey with the " Moncton Wildcats" logo, hahaha.

[@justink7194]

Literally preordered the bruins reverse retro Bergeron on October 20th and it has yet to ship

[@fantasticvoyage262]

It's going to take awhile if it's customized in twill. If it's blank or heat pressed, then you should get it soon.

[@stevedolan8095]

OMG a Seattle TBirds Jersey would be amazing. Instant purchase (who am I trying to kid, they will all be instant purchase)

[@angiebee2225]

I am not usually one to buy a new jersey right away, but I had to get a Stars RR. It looks awesome. I have serious bias, but it's way nicer than the kitschy Florida jersey.

[@OpiZoid]

the triangle in the devils logo might be a reference to the rockies

[@jesselancaster7]

I love the Canes one but your right it is a third, hope they keep it Go Canes!

[@MrHunterbg]

Caps middle of the pack is crazy, but it’s a small price to pay when you don’t consider the Wings as the worst. Big win!

[@nopeencreamhere9869]

They were trying to make a little mountain with the connection to the rockies on the devils jersey logo

[@R3IGNMAK3R]

That stitching on the Devils jersey makes a triangle, maybe a nod to the Mountain design on the Rockies jersey?

[@legndery1909]

The Lightning one looks so much better with the name and number but I understand your decision.

[@i_am_macgyver84]

The points of the devils horns are closer together to make a triangle to touch on the rockies mountain logo.

[@JD200_]

No way. I was wondering why it was different

[@mattguercia4364]

You should do a worst uniform from all 32 teams video!

[@theibault32]

THANKS!!! ITS GREAT!!!

[@wynonasbigbrownbeaver6757]

I ordered the LA one and I absolutely love it

[@BigYodaBalls]

Same

[@dustyb58]

Anaheim just needs a plum colored jersey with the D foot logo and they'll have pretty much exhausted every option they can

[@fantasticvoyage262]

The D foot logo needs to be retired for good.

[@derick-smith]

Every time I look at that Panthers jersey, I like it more. I didn't think anyone could beat Arizona from last year but this is the best Reverse Retro jersey.

[@Halfhoff]

I bought a size 54 RR 2.0 Devils to wear over my hockey equipment. The rest of my jerseys are size 50.

[@Ste_Va]

I love the Flames jersey enough i wish it was their main jersey lol Panthers and the Devils were my other favorites from this round.

[@johnhein4851]

I think the original Reebok/CCM with the flag patch shoulders is the best jersey they ever made but I'm with you, I'd rather see this reverse retro as a main then the vintage ones they wear now. There is something about their black jerseys. Even the original Koho black blasty is still a mean looking jersey.

[@CinCee-]

The yellow Blues jersey is 🔥🔥🔥

[@mshat18]

My favorite retros are Boston,The Rangers and Florida.

[@jevereemetcalf2076]

You just like the Calgary Jersey because it reminds you of the Vancouver skate Jersey, same colors and style

[@SwellyTheExpress]

I’m with you shannon. A white cbj cannon jersey would be a money printing machine.

[@ericksheldon3870]

What jersey are you wearing? I’ve never seen it before.

[@wolfgirl1722]

I don’t know why I really love the redwings jersey too 🤦🏻‍♀️ like why!? But I do!

[@Rob-uc8zr]

yeah.... lol i hate that our Wings retro looks just like the Hawks haha

[@Rockin_Ross]

100% on Philly being last. As a fan since 1980, when I saw this I thought it was their new away jersey. Not good when this is the time to think outside the box. Speaking of that, I’d have put Vegas higher. Mainly because between this glow in the dark and their home gold, it’s about as Vega$ as you can get!! They know how to think outside the box and scored big with this one! Lastly, if LA would put that crown on a purple jersey, it would be #1!❤

[@evan1322]

Chicago’s I liked more on ice but COME ON how could we not already get a C-tomahawk jersey as a main logo?

[@fantasticvoyage262]

I wanted that too. What a missed opportunity.

[@cpnstbn1266]

Speaking of teams owning colors, I also felt it was wrong when Tampa switched to blue and white.For the same reason it would be wrong if an mlb team had white with black pinstripes.

[@EXGAaron]

Good luck recapping this CBJ game

[@richardferguson6893]

That one'll be easy. Just write "Tage" and then move on to the next game.

[@gsipp00]

Well done.... 👏.. yeah Detroit and Chicago probably the most Retro but without a logo not very interesting yeah more like a sweater than a Jersey...if you're going to be that Retro go with the Habs 💈Pole Sweater.

[@Weathers2284]

The sabres 3rd jersey should stay or just become the reverse retro

[@BrettHornby]

Dare do a power rankings of 63-1 for all reverse retro jerseys. See which is the worst and best of them all.

[@LOSERX1978]

I honestly liked that Detroit jersey more when I saw them playing in them, but a red and black logo on that jersey would have been so much better.

[@scotsaul]

Love the Johnny Canuck Jersey

[@scotsaul]

But #1 for me is Dallas. At first view, I thought Florida, but for me, it's dropped because its not "hockey jersey" enough.... if you get me.

[@srikothur2845]

I love your channel more than hockey itself. How do you afford so many jerseys?

[@TheHockeyGuy]

Paying in installments.

[@gsipp00]

Shannon maybe sometime just rank the Team Logos instead of the entire Jersey can be historically also...not sure if you have done that in an older video?

[@johnhein4851]

I don't like the stitched line through the stomach on the Flames jersey that said it's the only thing I don't like. Its color scheme is brilliant and when you see the full uniform it's hard to argue they aren't top of the class this year.

[@ericscottstevens]

If Nashville had gone with blue I was in to buy one. Even as a Red Wings fan living in Tenenssee, their blue scheme is their best. But...........NOOOOOOO, yellow again. I like the Seattle color scheme and the Canucks versions are always fresh. We want fish stix!

[@speedshark2911]

How about R.R. Kings on a black jersey? That would look am amazing.

[@barontaylor7139]

I like the Montreal reverse retro Expos jersey

As a Wings fan it sucks to see them fail on this years jersey again. I think the Bruins one is beautiful.

[@markmichael66]

Shannon how can you have the sharks jersey so “low” in your rankings? I really like the throwback to the seals. Should be higher my man

[@logansheffield8641]

I don't know if anything can ever pass up the robot penguin as my favorite logo. Not just in the NHL, but in sports in general. The only thing that comes close is the glorious monstrosity that is the Toronto Raptors 90s Barney the Velociraptor logo.

1979 is coincidentally the year Youppi! was introduced
