On November 16, Colorado Avalanche unveiled their Reverse Retro jersey. This was in collaboration with Adidas and the NHL in releasing a collection of jerseys that blend the past and present designs for all 31 teams.

The Colorado Avalanche’s jersey is a throwback to 1972 when the team was previously known as the Québec Nordiques in the World Hockey Association (WHA) before joining the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1979.
