Here’s a bit of good news as we get ready for the long weekend – the Minnesota Wild are back with their green and gold Reverse Retro uniforms this season.
According to a series of photos courtesy of “X” user @original_jrzman featuring a set of jerseys for sale at the Hockey Hall of Fame shop in Toronto, the Wild will rock the old Minnesota North Stars-inspired set as an alternative uniform option in 2023-24.
The jersey design is the same as the team wore last year, with a few minor exceptions. As in 2022-23, it’s a green base with white shoulders trimmed in gold and the Minnesota Wild logo in the chest recolored to match the style of the North Stars. New for this season is the addition of the club’s “State of Hockey” logo as a patch on the right shoulder; Gone is the Reverse Retro branding inside the back collar.
Minnesota wore a similar design during the first year of the Reverse Retro program in 2021, with the colors reversed; This gives the Wild a ready-to-go white option if the team designs to go green and gold full-time in the future.
While we know what the jerseys will look like, we don’t know if the Wild will wear the same breezers or socks or the same name and number style as they did last year.
The Minnesota Wild have yet to officially announce the return of the green and gold as their alternate uniform in 2023-24, so I think this is considered a leak. Minnesota will be the first team to adopt a Reverse Retro design as a full-time uniform.
