Icethetics, a reliable source when it comes to upcoming NHL jerseys, released a video in the last 24 hours with a possible leak of the Vancouver Canucks upcoming Reverse Retro design, as well as a tease with information about the New Jersey Devils Reverse Retro that included two concept designs harkening back to their origins as the Kansas City Scouts.

The Canucks leak came from a Facebook sales post with someone selling a new Canucks jersey that no one had ever seen. It’s a blue, green, and white jersey with a classic Johnny Canuck logo. That logo is similar to that of the franchise’s AHL affiliate Abbotsford Canucks, but harkening back to the 1962 Vancouver Canucks of the Western Hockey League.
The New Jersey Devils concept designs featured in the video were created from information Icethetics received from sources in the know. There are two concepts featured in the video. One is a Scouts jersey in New Jersey colors with KC crest lettering replaced by NJ. The other is a Devils jersey done in Scouts colors. Both of the designs look amazing, but the second is my favorite and is closest to the one I’ve seen others say is the design the Devils are going with. Either way, Adidas will probably get my money with a Scouts-based Devils Reverse Retro. And, I bet they’ll sell more of either of them than the Jersey-jerseys.
