In October, the NHL launched the “Reverse Retro” jerseys for each NHL group this yr. This comes two years after the preliminary launch of the Reverse Retro jersey line, and each NHL group will put on the jersey between two and eight occasions through the season.
NHL 23 now has the Reverse Retro jersey within the sport, and with the jerseys within the sport, I made a decision to as soon as once more make a tier checklist.
If you wish to discover my earlier tier checklist for the Qatar World Cup kits, discover them right here. The factors for every tier might be listed alongside the tier title.
S Tier: I’m shopping for this with expedited transport and sporting it

These jerseys are a throwback to the stick and palm brand that was debuted within the ‘90s and the newborn blue that was launched in 2009. I’ve stated it earlier than and I’ll say it once more: you set child blue on a jersey, you’re cooking with fuel virtually instantly. The solar and the stick to the palm tree scream Florida as effectively. I’m placing this within the cart instantly.

I imply, it’s the Mighty Geese. ‘Nuff stated.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181439/i_2.jpg)
Simply an total nice wanting design. The white, yellow and teal work so effectively collectively in homage to the 1974 California Golden Seals, and the Sharks brand isn’t outrageous. I’d put on this in a heartbeat.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181447/i_3.jpg)
Like I stated: child blue by no means fails. The Canadiens know this too.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181452/i_4.jpg)
BIG. BEAR. IS. BACK.
A Tier: Won’t be the highest tier, however I’d completely put on these
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181453/i_5.jpg)
I’m a giant fan of the distorted wanting coyote on the jersey, and the desert design on the backside. The 2 totally different shades of pink and orange additionally work very well right here, form of a smoky vibe. I dig it.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181461/i_6.jpg)
I imply that is only a actually cool jersey. The ‘Vegas’ going diagonally down the jersey is a enjoyable twist, and black, gold and pink not often miss collectively. I’d completely put on this.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181466/i_7.jpg)
As soon as once more: child blue doesn’t miss. The yellow and child blue mixture is actually cool, and I actually like the larger notice on this design. The St. Louis font is smaller than the Blues one, however total, I’d put on this any day of the week.
B Tier: I’d put on it, but it surely won’t be my first selection off the rack
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181477/i_9.jpg)
Objectively, these jerseys are simply fairly good. The Kraken’s colours simply naturally work collectively effectively, and the emblem is fairly sick. I get the cummerbund issues, however the stripes close to the underside are extra annoying to me.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181481/i_10.jpg)
Very like the Bruins, if you happen to put a giant animal on the jersey, I’ll most likely put on it. The pink and black goathead jersey is the one folks needed (they acquired it anyway), however this one remains to be fairly cool.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181489/i_11.jpg)
I don’t know why this works, but it surely does. The emblem on the jersey is sort of comical, and it’s a really black-dominated jersey, but it surely simply works. Not the most effective, however a extremely stable one.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181492/i_12.jpg)
The one purpose this jersey isn’t in a tier above the one it’s in now, is as a result of the navy blue with that brand simply doesn’t work for me. The emblem itself is superior and actually nails the throwback vibe. Simply want the jersey would’ve been white with navy blue.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181500/i_13.jpg)
I imply, it’s fantastic. The crown on the entrance is cool, and the white background works. However nothing actually stands out. Possibly that’s factor?
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181506/i_14.jpg)
Okay I’ll admit it: the emblem is doing loads of heavy lifting right here. The jersey itself appears to be like kinda easy, however I do just like the yellow, navy blue and pink combo. Nonetheless, that brand is simply so good.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181515/i_15.jpg)
The emblem itself is superior. The wild animal and the timber inside the animal simply make an excessive amount of sense, and the taking pictures star eye is superior. Nonetheless, inexperienced, yellow and white simply are an odd colour combo to me, and the scheme itself is kinda primary. I’d nonetheless put on it although.
C Tier: I’d put on it if I had been pressured to
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181530/i_16.jpg)
I imply, they’re actually easy and primary, with nothing actually occurring on the entrance. However the brand is cool, in order that they get factors for that.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181539/i_17.jpg)
Once more, quite simple, simply with the hurricane warning brand on the underside. It’s satisfactory.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181542/i_18.jpg)
It’s merely, fantastic. The robo penguin is again, however nothing else actually makes this stand out.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181550/i_19.jpg)
They acquired the state flag design in right here, which is fairly candy. However nothing a lot else is going on right here.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181557/i_20.jpg)
It’s fantastic. The blue and black work, and as soon as once more the homage to the state flag is cool, however that already existed on the jerseys. General it’s simply okay.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181564/i_21.jpg)
I imply it kinda appears to be like just like the New York Jets brand, and nothing a lot else is going on on the jersey itself. However the brand is okay so it passes.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181569/i_22.jpg)
These are simply okay. The numbers are larger than most different jerseys, however there’s not a lot occurring right here.
D Tier: Wouldn’t put on 99% of the time, however there may be that 1% nonetheless…
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181581/i_23.jpg)
Man, nothing a lot is actually occurring right here. The colours are cool, however the brand remains to be fairly boring.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181583/i_8.jpg)
That is virtually a carbon copy of the present jerseys, however I like the massive sabertooth tiger on the emblem. So it’s fantastic I assume.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181596/i_24.jpg)
I’m probably not positive why, however the brand is simply kinda goofy to me. Exterior of that, it’s simply fantastic.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181599/i_25.jpg)
What’s with the horizontal stripe man? Why would they go together with this verse?

(/shrugs)
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181621/i_27.jpg)
“Hey Chicago, can we copy your homework?”
“Yeah simply don’t make it apparent.”
F Tier: No shot I put on this out or in non-public, kill it with hearth
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181639/i_28.jpg)
Yuck.
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181642/i_29.jpg)
These are virtually a carbon copy of their precise jerseys. Like, LITERALLY a copy-paste. Come on, man. Be inventive!
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24181667/i_30.jpg)
This brand and colour scheme simply doesn’t work in any respect on a black jersey. Gotta return to the drafting board and check out once more.
