Golden Knights Release New Reverse Retro Jerseys Monday

By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com

Just in time for the holiday gift-buying season, the Vegas Golden Knights and adidas unveiled a new “Reverse Retro” jersey, which will be added to the current rotation and worn periodically throughout the season (if and when it starts.)

The Knights retro jersey includes touches to former pro hockey teams in Las Vegas.

“The red color is a reference to the Wranglers, who played in Vegas from 2003-2014. The striping is inspired by the Thunder, whose V-for-Vegas body stripes graced the strip from 1993-1999. The year ’95 appears in the back neck to commemorate the Thunder’s best season in 1995-1996 and Manon Rheaume, the first woman to play in the NHL, who wore the Thunder’s V-stripes during the 1994-95 season,” the VGK said in a release.

 

The Golden Knights also recently released a new gold jersey, plus the jerseys of their American Hockey League affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights.
