What was the worst jersey in modern NHL history?

[JFHockey]

I found when playing NHL online that other players were much more likely to rage quit on me while wearing these beauts (the yellow was a bit more pronounced in the game). I still consider myself a bit of a Nashville fan because I had so much fun with these jersey's, my favourite ugly jersey of all time

I would love it if the NHL had the Dallas Stars and the Minnesota North Stars. Would make for such a unique rivalry. Stars v. North Stars

I think you mean Lone Stars.

Fisherman, friend!

This guy never knew how much controversy he would stir up. He was just trying to make a couple of extra bucks in doing the jersey gig as well. Lol

One thing the Wild do that drives me nuts is that they constantly do not have a matching set of uniforms.

They also have some players that wear green helmets that are a shade off the others. I suspect it's because their old third jerseys were a slightly duller shade of green and the matching helmets got mixed in with the regular supply.

I'm okay with it. The Habs don't wear matching uniforms.

The Wild did get a bit silly with it though. They went a long while wearing 3 uniforms that were all completely different. They even had 3 different primary logos!

Habs and Rangers get a pass from me (Original Six, I know it’s a cop out).

But the wild having three different logos was just insane! This set is much better and I like both of their jerseys just wished they matched a tiny bit more.

Good eye. I have never noticed this and I’m guessing I won’t be able to un see this.

truly the worst
no discernible logo
jumbled color scheme
vertical curved stripes on the socks with horizontal piping on the sleeves
mishmash of light and dark
awful

In the late '90s, there were so many horrible jerseys, it is hard just to pick one. Teams like Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Washington, Vancouver, LA, Calgary, and the NY Islanders all had perfectly good uniforms in the '80s and early '90s. Yet they all wanted to fix something that wasn't broken. Buffalo, for instance, went from a great logo and color scheme (blue and yellow trim) to the worst possible color scheme (black with red and grey trim) and changed that great logo.

Not to mention teams new teams in the '90s that came out with horrible jerseys like Phoenix, Colorado, and Atlanta. Unfortunately, Colorado still has that same horrible color scheme and Arizona brought back those horrible jerseys from the '90s as their third jersey.

Thank God that ALL these teams I have listed have either gone back to their original logo and color scheme (Pittsburgh, NY Islanders) or something close that is actually an improvement on the original (Buffalo, Washington, Calgary)

Keenan wouldn't let the team wear them.

St Loius is one of these teams that had a near perfect logo and color scheme when they entered the league and have the same logo with an equally great color scheme now with their primary jerseys and a great third jersey (which I believe is their original)

I know they screwed around with the jersey in the '80s putting the word blues on the front and making the logo smaller. That was short lived thank goodness. Then they tinkered with the color scheme adding red. I didn't care for that, but at least they had that GREAT original logo.

I thankfully missed the time when St Loius came out with this horrific abomination!! They could not have come up with anything more ugly if they tried!!

It was a dark time for NHL sweaters.

dallas and edm ones are great, lol. No leaf jerseys should ever be in best/worst threads. They all look exactly the same no matter what year. Would be frustrated if I were a fan anytime they say a new jersey will be released.

 

[Lloydchristmas138]

I think Ottawa has the worst ones currently, just so boring, like an Ahl team.. Plus for some reason I really liked their old ones.

Bad.

Really preferred these

 

[Lloydchristmas138]

Will always hate any Columbus jersey too, yuck..

 

[KJoe88]

I guess I have a childish taste in things but I like the cartoony ones.

The coyotes, islanders and blues ones shown in this thread are neat and super colorful. I like them.

My vote goes to the the burger kings or the awful rainfall TB ones.

Why? It’s not like you have to buy a new jersey just because the team updated them. And as you said, all Leaf jerseys look the same anyway.

 

[Reddawg]

my only memory of it is when Datsyuk killed and dismembered Marty Turco

I will literally never not click this.

Also the current Dallas Stars one is pretty terrible.

 

[ottomaddox]

Unpopular opinion: these are great jerseys. Logo + lighthouse on the shoulders =

I believe the fans used to jeer: "WE WANT FISH STICKS!"

 

[ottomaddox]

this is pretty bad. the NHL has two Leafs teams now.

 

[Pilky01]

Also the current Dallas Stars one is pretty terrible.

Its beautiful!

Sure the logo could use some work, but I love all that green! I am so happy they went that route. I am tempted to buy a jersey just because I love them so much.

Literally perfect.

yup oldies are way better. They just won't switch that crappy new logo for some reason.

Pretty much most of early Reebok Edge uniforms.

I'm very much in agreement with this post. That Canucks jersey is the worst in pro sports history.
