The teeth and mustache on the mothership's "Burger King" logo are different than what was worn on the ice.

Update: I bought the Stars jersey too. I also found this in another box and, of course, got it for myself: It's been a good week for 90s NHL jerseys, but a bad week for my wallet!

Idk if this is popular or unpopular, but this: Looks better than this: I can't quite place why, but I like the subtle blue stripes and lack of a white cuff.

I work at a boutique-y type thrift store. Earlier today, we got a big shipment of hockey jerseys, and it had the grail to end all grails in it: Needless to say, I bought it. It was only $45 after my employee discount. There were also a bunch of 90s and Y2K jerseys in there that I didn't snag, but really, really wanted to. I was like a kid in a candy store going through that box. There were a bunch of other 90s jerseys (Mainly Blackhawks, Rangers, and Habs) and fake Edge jerseys in the shipment too, but those didn't feel as special as these bad boys.

A supposed Rangers Reverse Retro prototype has popped up on eBay.

This year’s all-star jerseys have leaked.

Solid? Yes. Better than the Kachina jerseys? No.

hotter take: these are the isles' best jerseys of all time

The screaming eagle put weirdly placed angles and wordmarks in the striping. The Kachina jerseys used abstract art for a logo and tribal patterns for the stripes. The fisherman jerseys just used the warp tool on Photoshop. They all did weird, new things and they all did it well, imo. Truth be told, I think this white post-fisherman wave jersey is my favorite Isles sweater of all time.

The only negative of moving the Coyotes is that we'd be losing the Kachina jerseys.

$20 says that in an alternate universe where the Islanders didn't have the most dominant dynasty in hockey history, the fisherman jerseys would be looked back at just as fondly as the Caps' screaming eagle jerseys, the Mighty Ducks' inaugural jerseys, or the Coyotes' Kachina jerseys. Each of those designs are recognized as some of the best in NHL history, and they each do something outlandish and/or entirely new in the confines of jersey design.

The cross on the thumbs is a pretty neat touch. Why is Nike so good at putting in little touches that add nothing to the design, but so bad at creating designs as a whole?

Strongly disagree. The fisherman jerseys were gaudy, but they at least tried something new, and did a pretty coherent job at doing it. In a vacuum, the logos were good and the jerseys were stereotypically 90s. The main reason they get so much flack is because they replaced the classic Isles identity. The new New Jersey "Jersey" jerseys, however, swing and miss on each and every front. Scripts on hockey jerseys will pretty much never look good, the sans-red color scheme doesn't suit the Devils' brand at all, they were "inspired" by a minor-pro team 100 years ago that no one cares about, the jerseys themselves are basically copies of the Blackhawks' Winter Classic jerseys, and even the team's half-assed attempt to pass them as both classically-inspired and memeworthy aren't working. At least the fisherman jerseys had the balls to do something new and do so coherently. The Devils' alternates don't do a single thing right.

When you isolate this part of the logo, yeah. In the confines of the overall design, it doesn't look like a palm tree at all. You can isolate an element of most any logo design and make it look like something it isn't.

Hey, the Islanders did it first! Speaking of the Isles... THE STREAK IS OVER!!

Not sure how popular or unpopular this is, but the Islanders look better with double outlines on their jerseys.

I do have to say, I appreciate the subtle shading and striping on Canada's numbers.

I mean, I think the Smashville jersey is worse than the Jersey jersey, solely because the Jersey jersey still looks classy and relatively good, albeit boring and derivative of the Blackhawks. This is the correct take. There are some jerseys that have come close, (Dallas Edge jerseys and Islanders first black alts come to mind) but none of them have been quite as ugly as those Thrashers alts.

Neither the Blues or Coyotes jerseys are really new, so

That's probably clouding my judgement a bit, to be sure. But I also tend to like the more out there and experimental jerseys. The Avs 'Bib' Stadium Series jerseys, the Space Coyote alt, the Isles' fishsticks jerseys, and the Red Wings' Stadium Series jerseys are all designs I genuinely enjoy.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like the Lightning sweater. It's new and futuristic without being unbearably gaudy. I'm not a fan of the BOLTS script, but I do like the striping a lot. Stadium Series are meant to push the envelope of jersey design. The Lightning do it fantastically. The Preds? Not so much.

How did the Lightning get it so right and the Predators get it so wrong?

Why even contemplate about whether Houston is worth it or not? Just move the Coyotes to Quebec, where we know damn well hockey works, and works well.

Not sure if anybody's posted it yet, but Travis Zajac in the Adidas Devils jerseys never did look quite right.

I've seen a lot of bad counterfeit jerseys, but goddamn, that one takes the cake as the worst I've ever seen.
