anyone else dislike most of these?
I don’t particularly like many of them since I dislike a lot of the ~90s NHL logos so going back there, particularly the Capitals and Rangers jerseys, doesn’t please me. It’s just not for me. I will say I can’t believe that Ducks jersey is real, I do enjoy how fantastically hideous it is.
I guess it depends on where your nostalgia lands. I enjoy the spirit of the retro teams ones (Nordiques, Whalers, Jets) but I only really like the Winnipeg one in terms of design. I dig the Oilers, Kings, Isles and, to a lesser extent, the Sens retros though.
And design is subjective obviously. The Habs is gorgeous with the blue. The Blues is weird with the red. I love both the Leafs and Blackhawks (problematic fav lol) uniforms in general, they’re hard to screw up, and these look good. Boston got the boring jersey it deserves. The Pens jersey is blah, I get it but blah.
I actually forgot Arizona had that hideous desert landscape trim on their old alternate jerseys so I got a reminder how they ruined those with that trim by them reissuing them with a different color scheme. The Buffalo one is just their crap alternative from ‘00s that was red, it originally had Buffalo written on the front trim ruining it, but if Sabre fans are nostalgic for these, like them and buy them then the right people liked them.
