Watch: Wild unveil 'reverse retro' third jersey for 2023-24

This is the first time the Wild have used this color scheme as an official third jersey outside of the reverse retro line. The Wild have had official North Stars-themed looks before, though, including one-off throwbacks in 2016 and 2017 and a white version as the 2020-21 Reverse Retro.

“Our primary home and road jerseys are as popular as ever with our fans,” Minnesota Wild senior brand advisor John Maher said in a statement. “They also let us know last season that they still loved this legacy look so we decided to keep it in our mix as a new alternate jersey, with some updated ‘State of Hockey’ details.”

New for this year is a shoulder patch featuring the team’s “State of Hockey” logo, with the captain’s C and A being encased in a patch of the team’s home state.

The Wild haven’t had a proper alternate jersey since 2017, when they used a dark green look with a stylized Minnesota Wild text logo.

The club will use the new alternate 15 times in 2022-23, starting with an Oct. 21 meeting with the Columbus Blue Jackets. They are not scheduled to play the Stars with the color way, however.
