The Colorado Avalanche will wear a unique take of the Nordiques for their Reverse Retro jersey to be unveiled tomorrow.
Turns out the rumours were right. The Avalanche are, in fact, wearing a Quebec Nordiques throwback next season.

As part of the Adidas Reverse Retro set, which will be revealed Monday, every division has been releasing sneak peeks of each team. After offering fans a glimpse of the Pacific and Metropolitan divisions — including new takes on old favourites — the Avs and the Central are the latest to get teased.
