It is time to Power Rank the Reverse Retro Jerseys in the Central Division.

Christmas came early today after the NHL treated us to a full reveal of their highly-anticipated #ReverseRetro collection, and we are going to focus on the Central Division for today.

We provided our instant reaction to the striking collection of Reverse Retro uniforms here, but we are going to take a closer look at teams in the Central Division and rank their new remixed retro jerseys from worst to the very best.

Let’s delve right in…

. Nashville Predators. 7. team. 151. .

Let’s start off by saying that I don’t actually have a problem with any of the Reverse Retro Jerseys in the Central Division, thus making this an incredibly hard list to try and come up with.

Therefore, some team has to finish last and that team will be the Nashville Predators, simply because their remixed retro jersey isn’t that different from their current home uniforms.

Based on the jerseys they wore during the 1998 season – Nashville’s inaugural season in the NHL – these Reverse Retro uniforms features a new silver sleeve and some slight modifications, but nothing that jumps out at you.

Now, don’t get me wrong, these are still very nice jerseys but, compared to the rest of this list, they simply don’t compare.

6. team. 107. . . . Winnipeg Jets

I actually really like the concept the Winnipeg Jets came up with but, again, there are much better jerseys that we will get on to shortly.

In the meantime, the Jets opted to throw it all the way back to 1979, their inaugural season in the NHL, going for a bold metallic gray color for the main body of the jersey, while combining the heritage plane crest and the lettering with the current colors used by Winnipeg.

It is actually a nice tribute to the uniforms made famous by the late, great Dale Hawerchuk, and these Reverse Retro jerseys should prove popular with Jets fans.

After all, they adore their franchise in Winnipeg and this is a nice nod to what was the very start of things for the Jets.

And, I absolutely love the addition of the iconic plane crest to go along with the bold lettering, it makes for a real nice and clean look.
