What was the worst jersey in modern NHL history?

[These Are The Days]

2 has history in both Slovakia and the Czech Republic as a goaltender's number. Different, but not out of the ordinary.

Makes sense as that goaltender was none other than Jaroslav Janus

 

[stampedingviking]

Get out.

No.

It's an horrendous mess in stupid colours.

 

[stampedingviking]

The current Nashville yellow jerseys are an assault on the retinas. The fact that they’re paired with yellow helmets just makes it worse.

The original Preds jerseys were great, and should have been left alone.

I’m a Canucks fan, but despise their home unis. You’re at HOME! Who needs reminding that they’re in VANCOUVER? Yet, there it is, emblazoned above the crappy corporate Orca.

And oh yeah, the Canes new thirds with the double hurricane flags. Might as well throw a sharknado shoulder patch on it and call it a day.

The only thing wrong with that jersey is the lettering, the rest is great.

View attachment 160319 No offence to To Montreal Canadiens fans but this has got to be the ugliest jersey I have ever seen

It tells you on the front what it is

 

[SwaggySpungo]

No, not him. He deserves an even uglier number like 78 or 84.

Like, not even 69. Brady Skjei doesn't deserve snickers.

Subban breaks my heart with 76. Daley wears like 83 or some ****. Chabot wears 72. (Like, you could easily make that 27 and it's ****ing classic). Matter of fact, pretty much the whole Senators D corps is killing me on this, but like Skjei, you could argue they deserve it. Evan Bouchard wears god damn 75. Like, are we defensemen, or are we 300 pound offensive linemen in the NFL?

Even EK's 65 is pretty bleh, although it's sort of become iconic to him.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. What's with all of the jabronis wearing high numbers these days? Seems like every team has a jay-brone wearing 88. Back in the day, you needed to be a star player to pull something like that off.

But, it's not "double" hurricane flags. The two flags together signals a "hurricane", while a single flag signifies a "tropical storm".
Back in the day, this was the "warning" system as to what was approaching. When Carolina wore the jersey with only one flag, they were actually representing themselves as the Carolina Tropical Storms.

The Home and Aways of the skate jersey are great, this though...

 

[Jamin]

Oilers current reebok orange homes

Unpopular opinion

I liked the original mustard yellow preds jerseys with the 3D sabretooth.

 

[adsfan]

I have 6.

Gorton's Fisherman Islanders (page 5).

Flyings Ducks in green (page 5, same post by garnetpalmetto), the other Ducks on page 5 by MIAtoBKLYN, and the Mud colored Duck foot.

Vancouver's dark with yellow and orange V stripes from around 1990. It was awful!

Wild "Christmas" jerseys are the worst current one IMHO.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Worst current jerseys for me are definitely ducks home and away.

The greens are beautiful and they should make those permanent

 

[Cellee]

What green jersey do the Ducks have?

 

[FerrisRox]

Nothing is worse than this:

I really like that logo of the kings head. I don't see how anyone could say these were worse than the Mighty Ducks uniform with a cartoon Wild Wing jumping through the ice. Those look like a child's pyjamas.

 

[FerrisRox]

As a general rule I go with any of the oilers puke orange jerseys... but man some of these are so so so much worse

Puke orange? If you vomit up orange, you should go see a doctor right away.

 

[rboomercat90]

Bonus pic of cool cat too.

Was going to post the Vancouver “V” jersey but nothing could ever be worse than this. I had forgotten all about them.

 

[FerrisRox]

There were some nice ones too

This is your example of a nice one?

It's so amateurish it's almost laughable. Take a look at the logo. It's italicized. Then take a look at the star that the striping on the jersey makes, it is not italicized. So you have star on top of a star, but they don't line up, making the entire logo look off centre and pushed to the left. This thing is an embarrassment to design.

 

[FerrisRox]

• The captain patch is a triangle for some reason...three rivers or what?

The triangle there, and the triangle found in their traditional logo represents "the golden triangle" which is what downtown Pittsburgh is known as.

Buffalo red jersey was pretty weird with the silver border at the bottom. Think that was during the buffalo head era

 

[YoureAllTaxCheats]

It would be awesome if for one day, the NHL allowed all teams playing that day to wear what they vote is the worst jersey design within their franchise. Guaranteed it would be a ratings draw.

 

[ScrewParros]

Holy smokes there is a lot going on with that jersey.

You might not like stuff, but lots of people do.

Your opinion is not some kind of universal truth.

 

[S3rkie]

The Jets new third has to be up there.

 

[FerrisRox]

You might not like stuff, but lots of people do.

Your opinion is not some kind of universal truth.

In terms of principles of design, yeah, its a universal truth that the italicized star inside a non italicized star is beyond amateurish and creates a series of lines that don't work together and are visually extremely messy.

This jersey has a gradient.
