Every Team's Best Look Ever - NHL Edition

Recommended Posts

As much as I hate the NHL right now, my appreciation for a good looking hockey jersey will never die. To get the discussion going I offer this image (thanks to Sports E-cyclopedia).

This is on hold until this weekend, and will be merged into my thread once posted. Thank you.

This has got to be one of my favourite jerseys ever. The athletic gold looked so much better than the current shade, and the Robo-Pen was by far better than any of their cartoony skating penguins.

Blue/copper/black >>>>> R/W/B for the Caps. This is probably one of the few good jerseys they've had in their history. The 80s set was a bit too gaudy, the all-blue version of this was horrendous, and the current set is a mess. The striping and colour scheme were unique and worked well. I'd love to see them adopt an updated set with all-black homes, a different font, and a modified eagle.

LATE EDIT: Ottawa

This set was fantastic. Every single update since has been a downgrade, and now they've bottomed out with their garbage Edge set. Here's a team that could really benefit from hitting the 'reset' button.

Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Looking forward to yours. Hockey jerseys is what got me into sports logos to begin with.

No, they said BEST look, not absolute worst. Seriously, at least 20 of those are looks tht should never come back. Robo penguin? Edge islanders? Buffaslug?! 90s bruins? Cactus coyotes? Even when Detroit had the wonky font? It would be very hard to disagree with you more. Even on easy ones like the Flyers, you pick the edge version that screwed up their shoulder stripes? Yeesh.

I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Yea I see a lot of misses there. I get personal taste and creativity and whatnot but it seems a lot of these are flat-out hipster picks.

I definitely think these types of threads would benefit from having polls or something to get a general consensus of what everyone thinks instead having each individual post his/her preferences.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
