There’s not much to glean, but designs and merch release dates are coming soon. The only thing shown in the videos is the Reverse Retro logo and the words “rebooting” and “stand by…”
The Capitals wore their new Reverse Retro gear during practice on Tuesday which was all black. Darcy Kuemper also debuted a new mask that had the Screaming Eagle logo on it with a black, blue, and copper color scheme. Prior reports suggest that the Capitals’ Reverse Retro 2.0 design will rock a black Screaming Eagle jersey.
It’s believed that the NHL’s Reverse Retro designs will be released towards the end of the month and merch will be available in November. Some rumors suggest the jerseys will be worn around half a dozen times before the end of 2022, but RMNB could not independently confirm.
