Most of these are either unsightly, or too close to what the team already wears, or in some cases both. Some of them are OK designs, but don't make sense as a concept... why would Montreal or Washington want to get away from red as their primary color? Why would Dallas want to wear North Stars replicas?
These are the ones that really landed, IMO.
This looks surprisingly good with the modern "D" logo. The striping pattern is an update on their classic look, and the logo actually follows the curvature so that all the lines are moving in unison. That's a brilliant touch, seriously, really good stuff. I also like the idea of color-rushing the logo itself, which makes the entire look feel more special and fresh. I actually wouldn't mind seeing them skate in this a couple of times a year (it's miles better than the awful orange alts).
Like Anaheim's, this is a color that actually works with the color-rush concept. It's lively without being glaringly bright. Also, the silver cuffs look better than I would have expected. Sharks might actually want to consider something like that as an update on their classic look.
I love the way this evokes memories of the Thrashers. That's probably not what the Jets want to do as an organization (if anything, they seem to want to bury and forget their Atlanta history) but this would be a wonderful way to pay subtle tribute to those roots without getting away from a Jets-based look. It also, again, is a color that looks OK in the color-rush concept.
