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

I mean, even the stupid, ugly-as-:censored: Reebok fashion jerseys would look better than the New Jersey Blackhawks jerseys.

The white jersey is the only one that’s even semi-okay, and even it gets ruined by the black gear.

I wish NHL teams would follow the NBA's lead and wear their special edition uniforms for an entire game. It'd make the events feel much more meaningful, and it'd make the league a lot more colorful.

The Blues look better now than they ever have. Elevating the Winter Classic jerseys to a full-time look would be a mistake.

In other, less disappointingly bland news... The Isles are gonna be wearing these patches for the rest of the season after their home opener tonight. I don't like the way the design makes it look like it's the Isles' inaugural season instead of the arena's, but the design itself is pretty solid.

waist stripes pls

I bet $20 the Devils go a Sharks-type route and unveil a "Stealth" jersey that's only black and red.

As much as I love both the inaugural jerseys and the screaming eagle, both of those designs belong in the past imo. The Caps need a refresh, and their Winter Classic jerseys or current alternates are what they should build off of.

These need to be Anaheim's alternate jerseys. Or at least an annual one-off game, a-la Blues 90's Night.

Personally, I think the Mighty Ducks looked better without shoulder patches than with. This: Looks much cleaner than this: Plus, I think that shoulder patch is a bit too cartoony, which is saying a lot for the most cartoony brand in hockey history.

The crest on those jerseys is rough. Looks like a DHGate knockoff with all those air bubbles.

Yeesh. Those Nike jerseys are rough. The Ducks got it right the first time.

I bet it's because "ASTROS" has an even number of letters, while "HOUSTON" doesn't. Because of the buttons on the jersey, they can't really align the word Astros without there being a huge gap in the middle of the word. Houston can have the 'S' comfortably in the middle, while Astros is a little misplaced.

The only issue I have with the Sharks' "Stealth" jerseys is how goddamn minimalist they are. They've got the same issue as the rest of their jerseys, where there's just nothing happening on them. I can excuse the teal-only color scheme since it is an alternate jersey, after all, and the circuit board pattern is pretty cool, but they're just so boring. The Sharks' whole identity pisses me off. They have so many options and opportunities to be an exciting, modern, and unique brand, yet they choose the most boring designs possible.

According to CoolHockey, the Canucks will be wearing the Spaghetti Skate jerseys at some point this season. Those jerseys look gorgeous on the Primegreen template.

Do Reverse Retros count?

Not sure how popular or unpopular this is, but I really dislike the all-white goalie pad trend. Jerseys aside, this: Looks so much better than this: Apologies for using DiPi as the reference, he's just the first goalie I could think of that had both maximalist and minimalist pads.

I'm tired of retuning to the deigns of the past. Between the Coyotes, Sabres, Flames, Penguins, Islanders, and Senators, we've got enough teams that replaced their identities with stuff that's borrowed from the past. The Sharks' current logo is fine, there's no need to change it. It looks cleaner, more fierce, and more dynamic than the cartoony '90s logo does. Just brighten the teal, replace the orange with grey, redesign the jerseys, and call it a day.

Avs look like they're going ad-less for the regular season. Good.

If the LA alt didn't have the chrome dome and white gloves, I'd really, really like it. It adds some new flavor to the Gretzky era without throwing back to it directly, which I like. That being said, the helmet and gloves make the whole set pretty f***in' bad.

While I don't really have an opinion on the pant stripes themselves, it always bugs me when uniform elements are sublimated -- like the latter image -- instead of stitched like the first image.

Avs are back to the 'A' on the helmet. They've also moved to having the manufacturer logos on the sides of the pants.

On the positive side, Australia, Ireland, Jamaica, and New Zealand all look fly as hell. As awful as the USA and all the other countries using their stupid eagle-wing pattern look, they've got nothing on Luxembourg. Those are just terrible.
