Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another edition of TXHT Jersey Share where today we take a look at the New Jersey Devils heritage jersey courtesy of CoolHockey.com.
Right back at it with our second heritage themed Cool Hockey Mystery Box, and this one pays homage to when the New Jersey Devils first moved to from Colorado in 1982. Before coming to New Jersey, the Kansas City Scouts joined the NHL in 1974, along with the Washington Capitals, but they would move to Colorado to become the Rockies in 1976. Then in 1982 the Rockies would move to New Jersey to become the Devils.
When the Devils first started playing their colors would be red, white, and green. The Devils would then switch over from the green to the black that we’ve grown accustomed to in 1992.
For this Mystery Box acquisition, we would also obtain our second Hall of Famer in former Capital, and Devils legend, Scott Stevens. This would also become the second Stevens jersey for my collection.
I really like how the Devils will do a game or two a season wearing this jersey. They’ve been doing so since 2018, and was even inspiration for the Devils first Reverse Retro jersey in 2021. Overall, this is a really nice jersey to have in the collection.
