Ranking every home/away jersey combo in the NHL
June 18, 2020
31. Columbus Blue Jackets
If they use their blue and cream alternates full time, they would crack the top-10. But for now, they should use their goal cannon to fire the jerseys into the sun.
30. Los Angeles Kings
You can only be so good using black, grey and white.
29. Anaheim Ducks
Bring back the Mighty Ducks.
28. Minnesota Wild
The uniforms are very dull and unappealing, but the logo is fantastic.
27. Nashville Predators
The yellow helmets are overkill.
26. Buffalo Sabres
The Sabres have never been known for having captivating uniforms, but they seem to be regressing ever since Dominik Hasek left.
25. San Jose Sharks
The teal is dull and looks like murky pond water.
24. Carolina Hurricanes
The logo is horrible, and there are way too many stripes at the bottom.
23. Colorado Avalanche
The Reebok design was much better, then Adidas added the mountain design at the bottom and ruined a great color scheme.
22. Edmonton Oilers
Adidas should’ve left the Reebok Oilers jerseys as is, even the Reebok orange jersey was better than Adidas. However, blue jerseys beat everything.
21. Winnipeg Jets
The logo is exceptional, but the striping leaves a lot to be desired.
20. Ottawa Senators
Ottowa has a solid color scheme that is also very lackluster at the same time.
19. Calgary Flames
If they get rid of the black and go just red, orange, and white, they are without a doubt top-tier.
18. Washington Capitals
The 90’s uniforms were better, but they still represent D.C. very well.
17. Florida Panthers
Meh, not much to say. The colors and design are mediocre.
16. Vegas Golden Knights
The best away uniform in sports carries Vegas to 16.
15. New York Islanders
New York has a good color scheme, a decent logo and a strong design.
14. Boston Bruins
The unis are iconic, but using black as the main color holds you back quite a bit.
13. Philadelphia Flyers
As risky as it is to make orange your main color, the design is done to perfection.
12. Dallas Stars
Dallas has the same design as the Devils, just with a less appealing color scheme.
11. St. Louis Blues
The defending champs use the two tones of blue and the yellow quite well.
10. New Jersey Devils
Red and black are really hard to screw up; if New Jersey adds in a good logo, it will have the recipe for a top-10 uniform combination.
9. Toronto Maple Leafs
For being such an old team, the Maple Leafs have tweaked their uniforms a lot, but the design is clean despite the strings in the collar that do nothing.
8. Detroit Red Wings
The jersey hasn’t changed in 70 years for a reason. The design is simple and has the best logo in the league.
7. Arizona Coyotes
The addition of black made a good uniform great.
6. Pittsburgh Penguins
The change back to yellow from the Vegas gold was the correct choice.
5. Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay’s jerseys look a lot like the Maple Leafs but they are a bit cleaner with the one stripe instead of two and the empty shoulders.
4. Montreal Canadians
Iconic. The stripe around the chest is hard to pull off, yet they do it with class and grace.
3. New York Rangers
The Rangers are yet another example of a classic uniform being unaltered for a reason.
2. Vancouver Canucks
It took Vancouver a couple of decades and a few different color schemes to figure it out, but the blue and green mesh together perfectly.
1. Chicago Blackhawks
The best uniforms in pro sports that should never be changed. It’s as simple as that.
