It looks like the 2023 NHL All-Star Game is going retro, as the jerseys have reportedly leaked and appear to pay homage to the mid-90s.

Per Icethetics, a leak has emerged with a white sweater featuring the 1994-97 "Western Conference" logo as the main crest, with pink and white accents. It looks like there will be two jerseys this year for each conference instead of four for each division. The other sweater is expected to be the "Eastern Conference" logo and based on artwork that had been posted on the online NHL Shop, it looks like those jerseys will be black.

Both will reportedly feature aqua and pink accents, a hat tip to "Miami Vice," as FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida, is playing host to the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills Competition and 3-on-3 tournament between the four divisions.

Here's one leak that was posted on Twitter:

"Back then, like first time, it was another dream come true, you know?" Ovechkin explained. "You wanna be part of that, you wanna feel the atmosphere, you want to feel how to be in the All-Star Game. And obviously, it’s pretty fun moment.

"When you get selected, it's a special moment. It means the league appreciates [you], fans appreciate [you] and it's fun," he added.
