The Detroit Red Wings unveiled their special “Reverse retro” jersey last November along with every other NHL team, which is a nod to each franchise’s past with a modern twist.
They’re wearing it on the ice for the first time tonight, but not everyone is a fan.

Hall of Fame defenseman Larry Murphy, who won the Stanley Cup twice with Detroit and is currently an analyst with Fox Sports Detroit, had some less than flattering things to say about the new look.

The design was consistently ranked near or at the bottom in several different outlets lists of power rankings of the new looks.
Are you with Murph on this one?
