Going Retro


Everyone that has followed the New Jersey Devils and Martin Brodeur know the mask that he wears.  In recent years, he has had the mask modified from the partial Devils logo to the more personal "MB" on the crown of the mask.  However, for the game on St. Patrick's Day in 2010, he sported a different kind of mask.  Unless you happened to be around for his debut in the NHL, you will probably not recognize the look.  The mask is a replica of the one he wore during his first NHL game in 1992, when the Devils still had the red and green color scheme.  This coincided with the Devils going back to that color scheme for that game, which you see below.

I personally would not recommend that either party go retro for more than ten games in a season, but these looks are a nice reminder of what the Devils were when they started out in New Jersey.
