The second version of the NHL Adidas Retro Reverse jerseys dropped today. The Tampa Bay Lightning retro jersey pays homage to storm jerseys from the 90’s. The team will wear the Lightning storm retro jerseys on select nights throughout the season. These jerseys are a big hit, depending on who you ask. A lot of fans thought the old 90’s jersey was hideous and had too much stuff going on. But just like many other 90’s trends, it came back in popular demand recently. In fact, if you find an old 90’s storm jersey for sale on sites like Mercari and eBay, they’ll sell for at least $300, if not more. Currently, there are some storm jerseys for sale on eBay for $850.
This years jersey was teased multiple times on the Lightning’s social media accounts. The hype to bring back the old 90’s jersey was huge. Many fans commented all over the Instagram post “I’ve waited YEARS for this.” But after seeing mock-ups compared to the final product, a lot of fans aren’t so sure about the design. Some call it “so bad, it’s good.”
These jerseys will be available online starting November 15 for $190-$240. If you are a fan of the limited edition jersey, you might want to buy yours fast.
A cult classic. Remixed. ⚡️
