'Let’s imagine what the Vegas Golden Knights would look like if they existed in 1995.' How did the Golden Knights come up with glow-in-the-dark jerseys? JesseGranger_ goes behind the scenes 👀
Reverse Retro jerseys that debuted this season, the Adidas design team took a field trip to Las Vegas.
The historical collection of brightly glowing, electrified glass tubes includes the towering, 45-foot guitar from the Hard Rock Cafe, the slender pink lettering from the old Moulin Rouge Hotel and the shimmering gold biscuit that once revolved above Jerry’s Nugget in the 1970s. “You try not to design a vintage-looking jersey for a team’s third, because that’s what the Winter Classic is going to look like,” Merrill explained. “You try not to design a super futuristic-looking jersey, because that’s what the Stadium Series jersey is going to look like. We try not to step on those, or play those cards, until it’s time.
Designing a retro jersey for a team in only its sixth season as a franchise can be tricky. Other NHL clubs have decades of history with different versions of uniforms to draw inspiration from. For the Golden Knights, Adidas had to take a different approach. “For a town that has a fake Paris, a fake New York and a fake Venice, it only makes sense to create a new, faux version of what this team might have looked like, and it was a fun process,” Merrill said.
“Removing gray from the jersey was all part of our story,” Merrill explained. “Gray is a modern sport color that really didn’t start to enter professional sports until the late ’90s. So they wouldn’t have gray.”
