The NHL introduced a new series of jerseys known as the Reverse Retro for the 2021 season. This is one way the league plans to make up for lost revenue due to the stoppage of play caused by the pandemic and not being able to have fans attend the bubble playoffs to wrap up this past season. Each NHL team reintroduced a jersey they wore previously and modified it to an extent. Some teams went all out and drastically altered a jersey they previously wore in their history, while other teams only made minor tweaks to create their Reverse Retro jersey.
In the case of the Sharks, San Jose threw it back to 1998 with its Reverse Retro jersey. It uses the original Sharks logo with a primarily gray background and black, white, and teal layers outside of the gray. The latter three colors protrude outward from the center of the jersey when looking at it from the front. The collar of the jersey is in teal unlike most of the jersey itself. I assume most of you reading this post have seen it by now. These jerseys will be worn during select games this coming season. It looks fantastic but isn't the best Sharks jersey in my opinion. With that being said, I want to add the Sharks Reverse Retro jersey to my jersey collection at some point, but I'm not in a big hurry to do so, especially since the Reverse Retro jerseys are limited editions and selling relatively quickly. I am looking forward to seeing the players wear the Reverse Retros on the ice whenever the Sharks decide to do so this coming season.
