The New Jersey Devils announced today (November 16th) that the team will wear the adidas Reverse Retro ADIZERO Authentic jersey during four upcoming games, as part of the Reverse Retro Jersey Series
The Devils will showcase their jerseys at home for the first time on Friday, December 9th at 7 pm ET when they host the New York Islanders. If you plan to attend the game, the first 9,000 fans through the doors will receive a limited edition, “Chico & Nico” dual bobblehead.
The bobblehead pays homage to the “then and now” of the team, with team captain Nico Hischierand beloved Devils alumni/broadcaster Chico Resch, who suited up for the Rockies from 1980 – 1982, prior to the team moving to New Jersey, where he continued to play with the organization until 1986.

“The positive feedback from Devils’ fans and hockey enthusiasts following the launch of our adidas Reverse Retro ADIZERO Authentic jersey has been incredible to hear as we celebrate our 40th season in New Jersey,” said Jillian Frechette, Senior Vice President, Marketing, New Jersey Devils. “We looked to pay homage to the Devils’ heritage with a nod to the Colorado Rockies, where the team played prior to moving in 1982. It was only right to partner with Pepsi for our four Reverse Retro Jersey Series games given their modern take on a classic with their Pepsi-Cola Soda Shop. Throughout these special games, fans will see unique, throwback themes and fan-centric promotions that will accentuate the Rockies’ heritage here in New Jersey.”
