Sweaters and hockey have been synonymous with each other since the infancy of the sport. Teams have been identified by their iconic colours and patterns. Some of them are classic while others are classically awful. This summer our annual series focuses on the best and the worst sweaters in each team\u2019s history. Today we have the best and the worst Minnesota Wild<\/a> sweaters in team history.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Wild Sweaters: The Best and Worst<\/h2>\n

How We Did It?<\/h3>\n

We at Last Word on Hockey used a variety of methods to compile this list. Polling came from social media, our writers, and fans. We wanted to get a variety of opinions when we put out our list. This compilation will likely spur debate. However, we wanted to see who had the most memorable sweaters in each team\u2019s history. Let\u2019s put our best foot forward with the best sweaters.<\/p>\n

The Best of the Minnesota Wild<\/h3>\n

Reverse Retro Goes Green<\/h4>\n

Minnesota hit the mark with their first Reverse Retros<\/a> in the 2021 season. The franchise played about the Minnesota North Stars<\/a> past with that colour scheme on the current sweaters. Minnesota started off with a white variation and it was great. However, the green sequel in 2022-23<\/a> is one of the best of the set.<\/p>\n

Wild fans scooped these sweaters up and there wasn’t a lot of criticism. Minnesota made these the third sweaters in the 2023-24 season. In fact, there were some rumours these would become the permanent home sweater. However, that was shot down. We’re glad these came to be the team’s alternate sweaters in the very least. It’s probably only a matter of time before they become the full-time sweaters.<\/p>\n

The Original Reverse Retro<\/h4>\n

We know the green ones are perfect, but the white Reverse Retros in 2021 paved the way for the great sequel. The Wild crest was front and centre, but the usage of the North Stars colours were perfect.<\/p>\n

If the Minnesota Wild don't retain their Reverse Retro design in some capacity for the future, they're doing it wrong. pic.twitter.com\/jmZDOIp4HT<\/a><\/p>\n
