== Ice hockey == In the [[1991β92 NHL season]], the [[Original Six]] teams, the [[Boston Bruins]], [[Chicago Blackhawks]], [[Detroit Red Wings]], [[Montreal Canadiens]], [[New York Rangers]], and [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] all wore throwback jerseys for select games, based on uniforms from before the modern expansion era. In addition, the [[43rd National Hockey League All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] featured throwbacks based upon the original All-Star uniforms from 1947β1959. In subsequent seasons, teams have worn throwback jerseys on special occasions to celebrate team or even stadium anniversaries, or in annual "heritage uniform" games. The [[NHL Heritage Classic]] and [[NHL Winter Classic]] also initially began with participating teams wearing throwback uniforms, with later games in both series seeing teams wear hybrid designs inspired by past uniforms, and on occasion from prior teams in the participants' home cities. For the 2021 and 2022β23 seasons Adidas introduced the "Reverse Retro" program, where each team created a specialty jersey that took elements of old jerseys with a twist. Some teams had colour swapped traditional uniforms, like the [[Edmonton Oilers]] who swapped Orange and Blue on their 1980s uniforms, and [[New Jersey Devils]] who swapped Green and Red on their '80s uniforms. Other teams merged two eras of their jerseys. The [[Los Angeles Kings]] took their original colours of forum blue and gold, and applied it to their 1990s style of jerseys which were only in black and silver. As well, there were teams who combined the looks of their current and former franchises. Such as the [[Minnesota Wild]] using North Star colours on their own logo, and the [[Colorado Avalanche]] applying their current colours to the style of the [[Quebec Nordiques]] jersey.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-reveals-adidas-reverse-retro-jerseys/c-319633384 |title=Reverse Retro alternate jerseys for all 31 teams unveiled by NHL, adidas |last=Ledra |first=Cristina |publisher=NHL |accessdate=2022-08-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=NHL Reverse Retro jerseys for all 32 teams unveiled by adidas|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/2022-adidas-nhl-reverse-retro-jerseys-reveal/c-336511528|website=NHL.com|date=October 20, 2022|access-date=October 20, 2022}}</ref>
