The 2019 adidas NHL All-Star Game jerseys have been revealed and they are unique in a number of ways.
First, the jerseys are eco-friendly, made in conjunction with Parley for the Oceans, an environmental organization that looks to protect oceans, like the threat of plastic pollution. The color are black and white -- “crisp white, like a fresh sheet ice and contrasting black, like a brand-new puck” -- with the home team during the 3-on-3 tournament games donning the dark jerseys.

From the NHL:
Secondly, for the first time ever, the monochromatic logos on the jerseys will be of the player’s team, not the NHL shield or conference name.
With the game being played in San Jose, you would have liked to have seen more teal in the jerseys and not relegated to the inside collar, but with the eco-friendly theme, you can understand why they lack the color. They’ll certainly look interested on the ice during All-Star Weekend and jersey collectors will be adding their favorite team/player to their collections.
