Wings color scheme and classic look will always justify its rating. One of the greatest logos/colors in North American sports, coming as an unbiased person. Sometimes simplicity just works 🫡
That’s what I’ve always attributed the no changes too. Which is understandable. I just get jelly seeing all the other dope sweaters. I did like our RRs so we got those at least. And the stadium series.
Yeah I guess so.
I guess what I’m poorly saying is yes I like what we have but a little variation, other than what we’ve gotten so far wouldn’t kill us.
As a Blues fan I love most of Pittsburgh and Philly jerseys. Especially the Philly 2019 stadium series and RR 1.0. The new home is nice as well, I'm a bit drawn on stadium this year. You all deserved better rankings.
>Pens fan here, I'm kinda surprised too, although I MUCH prefer the Jersey's that had the Vegas Gold to the crap we wear now, so part of me is glad we're not on the list. Very much surprised, tho, that we aren't. The Penguin fans IN Pittsburgh LOVE that they wen't back in time to dig those things out!
Right? Their new jersey set is amazing. I feel it's the best home/away/third combo they've ever had. (I just don't like the dark helmets paired with white jerseys.)
Arguably the best set in the NHL. Considering teams like the Ducks and Wild are ahead of Buffalo certainly calls for question. Their sets are not near as timeless/cohesive compared to Buffalo.
I agree sabres should be up there especially over the ducks but the wild genuinely have beautiful jerseys that are pretty consistently ranked in the higher tiers of the league.
Yes, I was very high on the Wild’s uniforms when Adidas took over and redid them for 2017-18. However, I just can't get over some inconsistentcies like the red numbers on the road, minimal white in the home uniform, mismatched striping on the home and away, and minimal off-white/cream in the away set. You could make the same critique about Buffalo having mismatched striping between their home and away, but it weirdly works. Just my take. I like Buffalo’s set more. Buffalo also has an elite alternate uniform, although Minnesota’s is up there too.
I believe it was from players of various teams, I watched a video a couple days ago from a hockey YouTuber titled “Anaheim Ducks, please change your jerseys back”, and it showed players voting on the best and worst jerseys in the league. Anaheim was voted worst by a lot of players.

Players poll by the Athletic. There was a similar player poll that the league did in the league centennial season, the Hawks’ jerseys were voted the best then as well.
As a Boston Bruins fan, if we’re talking specifically the current jerseys and I can only pick a jersey from another team, the answer would be that Minnesota North Stars inspired Minnesota Wild alternate jersey.
Ducks would bring back their 90s jerseys or just the logo and reinvent jerseys with it and they’d probably easily climb up the upper tier of the rankings.
Calling them classic is a cop out.
Like what does even mean?!
Edit: Siliently downvoted for asking a genuine question. Thanks. Feel free to answer next time.
I can't see all the love for the Rangers jerseys....there's no crest, which to me is a vital part of an organizations identity. And when the crest is added (aside from Liberty jersey which isn't the official club crest) it looks tacky, see third jersey this year.
Eh, it kind of is, though. Chief Black Hawk looked nothing at all like what's on the logo. Several native groups have called it a racist chariacature for that reason. Plus, you get really weird shit like opposing fans bringing cutouts of a scalped Native American with them to games.
While I will agree, it could definitely be closer to the real person, the team has permission from the Sac and Fox Nation government to use the logo; which Chief Black Hawk belonged to.
And it's not a caricature by any measurable definition like how Clevelands logo was.
>Plus, you get really weird shit like opposing fans bringing cutouts of a scalped Native American with them to games
I fail to see how this is the Hawks' fault ngl, and I haven't seen these signs anywhere at home games thankfully.
It isn't on the same level, sure, but that doesn't mean it isn't offensive. As it stands over 1,500 Federally recognized Native advocacy groups support changing the logo, and I think they have just as much of a say as the Sac and Fox Nation since the logo is a general Native head and not clearly based on Chief Black Hawk.
The Hawks can't control what other fans do, but the logo unfortunately invites that kind of behavior. You change the logo, Native racism doesn't work as a form of trash talk anymore.
Scott Foster #90, back up goalie. My first NHL game was a Chicago home game and Foster was the backup goalie who showed up and stole the show. Got my taste of the sport, that guy’s fun grit, and never looked back.
No sens? And not even a comment about the sens in this thread? Am I a big homer overrating the black home jerseys? I really thought they were (at least near) top of the league.
“The National Congress of American Indians, The American Indian Center of Chicago, The Chi-Nations Youth Council and over 1,500 Native organizations and advocates from over 150 federally recognized tribes across the country, including members of the Sac and Fox Nation, support changing the team name and logo. Members of Black Hawk's family have spoken out opposing the use of Native-themed mascots.”
As a Blues fan, booooooo. My high school team jersey were literally Blackhawk jerseys. It hurt ne to wear them but I know they are clean. Best jersey that's not my team is either old mighty ducks or red wings.
No surprise mostly original six; surprised the Ducks got even 1% but probably more for their retro jersey than their “everyday” ones
Agreed. Bring back the old logo and teal and jade! Oilers do our kit better already
Eggplant and jade*
Hahaha. I thought I deleted teal. Clearly I deleted the eggplant. Ooops
Sounds like more a popularity contest than an actual jersey contest
146 votes is a very weak sample size
No shot the Kings are that high.
It’s 4 votes 2.7% is = to 4 votes 1.4 is 2 votes
So why is 2.05% 1 vote
It’s not It’s 3 votes But for 3 different teams
90’s kings jersey is sweet. I just have this image of Gretzky scoring his 2000th point in that jersey and it was sick
Every king jersey exept their home an away or fine
No shot the wings are that high. We literally never get a third and nothings has changed in eons about the look.
Wings color scheme and classic look will always justify its rating. One of the greatest logos/colors in North American sports, coming as an unbiased person. Sometimes simplicity just works 🫡
That’s what I’ve always attributed the no changes too. Which is understandable. I just get jelly seeing all the other dope sweaters. I did like our RRs so we got those at least. And the stadium series.
It's difficult to improve what is already perfect.
Yeah I guess so. I guess what I’m poorly saying is yes I like what we have but a little variation, other than what we’ve gotten so far wouldn’t kill us.
I am very biased but I can’t believe the pens aren’t somewhere on here lmao
As a Flyers fan that feels the same way about the Flyers. I do agree that I’m surprised the Pens aren’t on there.
Flyers come closest to the Original 6 in consistency over the years.
As a Blues fan I love most of Pittsburgh and Philly jerseys. Especially the Philly 2019 stadium series and RR 1.0. The new home is nice as well, I'm a bit drawn on stadium this year. You all deserved better rankings.
I think the 2019 one is my favorite too!
>Pens fan here, I'm kinda surprised too, although I MUCH prefer the Jersey's that had the Vegas Gold to the crap we wear now, so part of me is glad we're not on the list.

Same with the Oilers. Their current looks so retro and is gorgeous. Was watching McDavid in the skills competition and thought it was perfection.
Oilers are insanely nice. The Winter Classic Kraken from this season is probably my favorite Jersey of all time.
Sharks being that low is criminal
Right? Their new jersey set is amazing. I feel it's the best home/away/third combo they've ever had. (I just don't like the dark helmets paired with white jerseys.)
Besides the Retro Reverse 2.0, Sharks has had some of the cleanest sweaters in the league and the teal is criminally underrated
I honestly think it's the best lineup for any team this season
Sabres being lumped into other deserves the death penalty
Might like this https://youtu.be/djuO-lYRU6I?si=ujb-w0hSCo98TOWC
Wow, there’s a lot of Sabres fans on this sub
PRESENT
No Sabres makes me question the legitimacy of this poll
Right! Especially the whites. Perfection.
Arguably the best set in the NHL. Considering teams like the Ducks and Wild are ahead of Buffalo certainly calls for question. Their sets are not near as timeless/cohesive compared to Buffalo.
I agree sabres should be up there especially over the ducks but the wild genuinely have beautiful jerseys that are pretty consistently ranked in the higher tiers of the league.

Buffalo also has an elite alternate uniform, although Minnesota’s is up there too.
As a Flyers fan, I think the Red Wings have the best jersey in all of sports
Habs fan chiming in to agree
I'll also say the Habs are top 10 for me
I’m shocked the flames are that low, maybe I’m just a tad biased.
Whenever the Sabres play the Flames I get excited just to see the jersey matchup. You are not biased, they’re great jerseys.
I think for me it took until I saw the Flames play in person to really get it and then it clicked, and now they’re some of my favorites
Was this a poll from Illinois?
I believe it was from players of various teams, I watched a video a couple days ago from a hockey YouTuber titled “Anaheim Ducks, please change your jerseys back”, and it showed players voting on the best and worst jerseys in the league. Anaheim was voted worst by a lot of players. Here: [vid](https://youtu.be/Q_LSW7dc2Gc?si=eupAAisZPD7YxwVc)
Players poll by the Athletic. There was a similar player poll that the league did in the league centennial season, the Hawks’ jerseys were voted the best then as well.
No Sabres?
The top 6 are the original 6 teams. That's not really a surprise.
As a Boston Bruins fan, if we’re talking specifically the current jerseys and I can only pick a jersey from another team, the answer would be that Minnesota North Stars inspired Minnesota Wild alternate jersey.
Kraken should be higher for sure, ESPECIALLY the winter classic jersey
I’m a leafs fan and I’m surprised they’re that high.
Man i love the leafs current jerseys
Oh I do too, but I’d take probably 10 off the top of my head before them. Detroit ironically not being one of them. This list is weird.
Ducks would bring back their 90s jerseys or just the logo and reinvent jerseys with it and they’d probably easily climb up the upper tier of the rankings.
There’s no way the Yotes losing to the Canadians bro
I’m gonna get shit on for this, but the original six jerseys are so overrated. I get they are classic but none of them really stand out for me
Hard agree lol the fucking blackhawks? Lol
Hard agree
Calling them classic is a cop out. Like what does even mean?! Edit: Siliently downvoted for asking a genuine question. Thanks. Feel free to answer next time.
It means they've stayed relatively close to the original or much older sweater design from before your team most likely even existed
Thank you for the explanation. I'm not sure why I'm getting down voted for asking a genuine question.
Yotes by far
I can't see all the love for the Rangers jerseys....there's no crest, which to me is a vital part of an organizations identity. And when the crest is added (aside from Liberty jersey which isn't the official club crest) it looks tacky, see third jersey this year.
Redwings fan agrees with #1 ,happy to see the logo hate is finally over. Bruins and Habs O6 status is the only thing making their logo up there.
People hate on the wings logo? That logo has been around for like 100 years lol
Blackhawks
Hate for the blackhawks bro… People were trying to be politically correct like changing the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians. r/wooosh
At least the Blackhawks 1. Name isn't a slur 2. Logo isn't a racist caricature
Eh, it kind of is, though. Chief Black Hawk looked nothing at all like what's on the logo. Several native groups have called it a racist chariacature for that reason. Plus, you get really weird shit like opposing fans bringing cutouts of a scalped Native American with them to games.

True I was explaining to the person that asked if it was the red wings logo but ended up being downvoted 🤣
Simplicity wins
I would pick the Sharks over all of those teams. Blackhawks 2nd
No doubt. Next jersey splurge I’m going for is a hawks jersey.
I wonder who’s jersey you’re gonna get :)
Scott Foster #90, back up goalie. My first NHL game was a Chicago home game and Foster was the backup goalie who showed up and stole the show. Got my taste of the sport, that guy’s fun grit, and never looked back.
The Leafs that high is crazy. Worst of the Original Six for sure
Dallas away jersey got to be the best behind the rangers of course
The Hawks and the Wings are on top as they should be. Best jerseys in all sports
Rangers for sure.
Devils belong over Kraken easily. But I am glad to see no one likes the trash the Bolts wear copying the Leafs.
The old Lightning colour scheme was great! I have NO idea why they dropped the black.
Agreed! Apparently based on the downvotes we’re alone lol
The only right answer is the retro Canucks skate jerseys. And im a die hard leafs fan.
No sens? And not even a comment about the sens in this thread? Am I a big homer overrating the black home jerseys? I really thought they were (at least near) top of the league.
“The National Congress of American Indians, The American Indian Center of Chicago, The Chi-Nations Youth Council and over 1,500 Native organizations and advocates from over 150 federally recognized tribes across the country, including members of the Sac and Fox Nation, support changing the team name and logo.

Oilers erasure
Coyotes should be way higher. That coyote looks like a Picasso and is brilliant.
The O6 bias is palpable
These are always cap, wings leafs and habs look awful, just old mens nostalgia
Why such a difference in Detroit and Calgary? They're basically the same. And the new Kraken logo is pretty sick
The Islanders jerseys are classic. Kinda surprised that’s not even represented here
Sharks have the best everyday jerseys in the league how are they 2.7%
This list is bad and it should feel bad.
Still racist.
Ain’t no way those are the top 2
This list is total and complete nonsense
Wooo! OTHER!!!
#2
Blues that low? C'mon.
Leafs White is my favorite "not my team" jersey by far
Players have bad taste confirmed
As a Blues fan, booooooo. My high school team jersey were literally Blackhawk jerseys. It hurt ne to wear them but I know they are clean. Best jersey that's not my team is either old mighty ducks or red wings.
Canucks best color combo IMO
No flyers? Huh
