6. Reverse Retro 2.0 (2022-23)

Noah: 5, Garrett: 7, Stephen: 1, Henry: 4

Stephen: My initial reaction to Garrett, Henry, and Noah was “omg they’re horrendous.” I stand by that assessment, but they are so bad in a bold way that I have no choice but to love them.

Even the Lightning Twitter admin knows…

The lighter color palette, than the original, helps mellow some of the craziness going on with the design, and ultimately allows this to be my favorite.

Garrett: These jerseys just don’t do it for me. I think that they are a very basic attempt by Adidas to create a reverse retro and they essentially just threw together the original blue “storm” jersey and made it white. They could have done so much more with the reverse retro this year given the Bolts color scheme/past uniforms and I think that these are just very bland and forced in a way compared to the other alternates we have had.
