Minnesota Wilds new third jersey leaks online and it's beautiful

While some teams have already released their new uniforms, other will be released in the coming weeks. At this year's draft, the Anaheim Ducks unveiled their 30th anniversary jersey and on September 16th, the Boston Bruins will share their new home, away and alternate jerseys for their centennial season.

Several other teams are expected to unveil new jerseys this season. For most teams they have plans to unveil these jerseys at the right time, unfortunately for the Minnesota Wild today their new third jersey was leaked online.

It appears the Minnesota Wild will be bringing back an updated version of their Reverse Retro jersey from the 2022-23 season. The jersey honors the colours of the former Minnesota North Stars. This year's jerseys does have some small, but notable changes from the Reverse Retro version.

The back of the collar no longer features the Reverse Retro logo or the year the jersey was inspired by. The NHL shield on the front of the jersey is now in silver and black now. Finally, the biggest change appears on the right shoulder, which now features a patch that's only been worn on a Wild jersey once before during the 2016 Stadium Series. The patch says "State of Hockey" in an oval with two gold stars, surrounding crossed hockey sticks and on top of an outline of the state of Minnesota.

A quick scan of NHLuniforms.com shows that this "new" third jersey marks the first time that the Wild have an alternate in their rotation since the 2016-17 season. From 2009 to 2017, the Wild wore a green and cream coloured uniform with a wordmark saying "Minnesota Wild" on a diagonal.
