The nicest hockey jersey in NHL history

[daver]

All things considered, my vote is for the Habs 1944-47 whites when they had the blue stripe across the chest.

My reasons:

- the most historic (and arguably most recognizable) logo and team in NHL history

- the most successful franchise in NHL history

- use of the most common and, IMO, most aesthetically pleasing, colour combination of red, blue and white

- an old school clean look with a hint of the really early days of simple white uniforms with a crest or stripe

Not sure we needed both this thread and the other one right now, but I guess they’re different enough.

Hard to choose which one of the Whalers jerseys is the nicest though.

The Habs red is by far the nicest in my opinion, but there is some amount of bias in the historical significance of the jersey. Excluding the original six, these ones get my vote:

The "Bourque/Neely" era Bruins jerseys.

and sorry not sorry, the Coyotes Kuchina Doll jerseys are a clooooose 2nd.

Oh that's an easy one to answer

In terms of quantity and quality, I’d want to raid Ed Belfour’s closet. Chicago red, San Jose teal, Dallas green, Toronto blue, Florida red... those are some of the best out there.

Coyotes jersey is fantastic. Love the post-lockout revisions to Carolina and Vancouver. The recent off-white BG Falcons jersey was perfect.

Now THAT is "Nice".

I'm always partial to this one, although I think the early 90s Bruins jerseys are probably on par as well. Classics.

I love this one-year (69-70) variation of the Seals' original jerseys with the white shoulder bars:

I love the reversed sleeves here:

That Blackhawks jersey...phew, I don’t think I can name a better after seeing that pic. What a vibrant set.

I love seeing this black jersey in action (it pops on the ice in a cool not gaudy way):

You mean you're not a fan of the deformed, slightly decapitated Buffalo head from the 90's?

I actually don't hate it in retrospect. It's better than the all-red alternative from that era or the Buffa-slug unis. Probably better than the navy iteration we've worn the last few years as well. But yeah, that Buffalo head is...an interesting choice haha.

The OP mentioned my favourite habs uniform. The white with the red numbering and font is outstanding.

My all time favourite has to be Chicago though.

Yes.

The jersey isn't bad, either.
