The Dallas Stars' decision to drop their fan-favorite Reverse Retro jersey has sparked major backlash, with fans demanding the return of the 1993-style classic
When the Dallas Stars unveiled their #ReverseRetro jersey in 2022, fans were thrilled.
The design paid tribute to the team's inaugural 1993-94 look, blending throwback style with the modern Victory Green, plus crisp silver and white accents.
It instantly became one of the team's most popular looks, both for nostalgia and bold aesthetics.
But now, the Stars have quietly confirmed it won't return for the 2025-26 season.
And fans are not taking it well.
Social media was flooded with disappointed reactions after the team's recent jersey drop made no mention of the Reverse Retro design.
Stars fans say losing this jersey is a major branding mistake
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:
«That jersey was the only thing they got right in years. Why kill the one design fans actually bought?»
Another added:
«You had the perfect mix of old and new, and you scrapped it for what? Another blackout?»
The backlash comes as teams across the NHL are revisiting their jersey lineups heading into 2025-26.
Some clubs are going back to basics, others doubling down on nostalgia.
But Stars fans say this one stings more because of how unique it felt.
The decision also raises questions about how the Stars are listening to their base, especially when merchandise demand for the Reverse Retro remained high.
Personally, I think ditching a jersey this iconic feels like a missed opportunity, fans don't forget designs that make them feel something.
