ICYMI Kevin Weekes threw out a drama inducing tweet today regarding the Minnesota Wild repping the reverse retro FULL TIME in the future. In case you live under a rock, the Reverse Retro Wild jersey is an ode to the former Minnesota North Star hockey team that ran the State of Hockey from the late 60’s to 1993. Following their departure thanks to Norm Green (aka Norm Greed) the team then morphed into the Dallas Stars.
The Minnesota Wild are currently repping three jersey’s:
- Traditional Home Jersey

- Traditional Away Jersey

- “North Stars kit setup” – Kevin Weekes

These jersey’s are all loved and cherished throughout Minnesota. While there’s new chatter about the North Star style jersey overtaking the current home jersey, I can’t see it, at least not right away. Again I wouldn’t mind the switch AT ALL, but I think it’d have to be carefully crafted and transitioned into. Marketing Marketing Marketing.

Taking the current brand and transitioning back to our roots is something that I would be for any day of the week. As stated, the Wild jersey is a beautiful nod to our hockey history and, I think, the State of Hockey is ready.
What do you think? Keep the current rotation where these J’s are repped only a few times a year? Or should the team make the change? Maybe go with Marlow’s suggestion? Let us know!
