On Thursday morning, the Montreal Canadiens revealed the design for their new Reverse Retro jersey.
Featuring a strong presence of baby blue, the new jersey is reminiscent of the uniforms worn by the Expos, Montreal’s former MLB team. The new design also plays on the classic striping found on the red home jersey to introduce the unorthodox colour scheme.

Along with the Canadiens, who sported dark blue alternates as part of last year’s Reverse Retro program, every team in the NHL also unveiled new designs, most of which incorporate historic elements from each club’s history.
