What was the worst jersey in modern NHL history?

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Used to be because they were cheap. As time goes on they become the most valuable, simply because few bought them in the first place!

You don't have bad taste, PhysicalGraffiti: you're a wise investor in the jersey collection market.

Thank you! Well put!

I found Vancouver jerseys with the V, although this wasn't the one that I thought looked the worst. I believe that you have to switch the areas with the black and the yellow. You get the idea.

Thanks for the posts everybody! Several of these jerseys I never saw or tried successfully to forget.

They look like a choir in that picture.

I hate the fisherman and don't even like it in a "so bad its good" ironic way, I just flat out hate it.

That said, I really like the updated version of that sweater they wore with the real NYI logo.

That would be a damn nice 3rd uni right about now.

The Jets regular home uniform is very drab.

I really like their whites though. They look much better with the full sleeve shoulder yoke thingy.

And despite what alot of people seem to think, I really like their new thirds.

I just love that shade of blue too much to say anything bad about them.

Disagree about the Jets whites. The full sleeve shoulder yokes should be banned across the league. Think back to when the Bruins and Stars had them. Not a good look.

I think it’s totally case by case. The 80s jets looked great with it but the 80s Leafs looked terrible.

Fact is were in a golden age of uniforms. All of these teams have perfect of near perfect uniform sets....IMO, of course.

Leafs
Habs
Bruins
Red Wings
Rangers
Islanders
Flyers
Penguins
Oilers
Stars
Predators
Avalanche
Wild
Vegas
Blackhawks
Blues

This guy just looks so weird

Capitals hands down followed by Nashville, as far as current jerseys go.

That's kind of funny. We're the total opposite on this one. I thought the 80s Leafs jerseys looked pretty good whereas the 80s Jets were an abomination that never should have happened. They were just clones of the ones used by the Rangers for 2 seasons (1976-77 & 1977-78). When the Jets entered the NHL in 1979-80, they should have carried forward their WHA style jerseys below.

Depending on one's taste, the original California Seals jersey was questionable too. Later versions were generally panned also.

LOL WHAT EVEN IS THAT

LOL WHAT EVEN IS THAT

A skating seal of course. As seals have no legs, it makes perfect sense....

 

[Mrb1p]

It was a dark time for NHL sweaters.

Dallas is fine, but the other two....
Huh

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.

that's my point. Its exciting when the team announces a new jersey is going to be released even for just a season but for the leafs, bruins, blackhawks, wings, rangers, canadians they are rarely very different from the usual jerseys. Obviously horrid jersey can be released but atleast its something. The rangers statue of liberty jersey were nice when they came out. The leafs jerseys are always the same

 

[egelband]

Oh god I'd almost forgotten about the tudburgers. Those were hideous.

At least they didn't try to get "creative" with the logo? (I'm looking at you, Dallas Uteruses, NY Fishermen, and LA Burger Kings.)

If Buffalo stuck with just the blue and the yellow they’d have been on to something.

 

[egelband]

Hey, never let anyone telly you what you can or can not love.

I grew up with Vancouver's plate of spaghetti jersey. Yeah, it's not the greatest, but I got good memories that go along with that jersey, so I can't hate on it.

That jersey is a classic. They should bring it back.

 

[MileHighHawksFan]

I really hate the current Dallas jersey, its the blandest green and such a weak logo.. also not the biggest fan of the orange and black Ducks jersey

 

[Chrisinroch]

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

Throwback jerseys always get a pass. One game nod to history.

Well once you have a lerf for uniform then there is no reason to change.

I wouldn’t get excited if the Leafs or Wings or Habs announced new uniforms. In fact I’d be horrified by that suggestion.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

After watching more and more of the Devils current uniforms they should be in the running.

They took one of the best jerseys in the league, a jersey that remained virtually unchanged since the team's inception, and completely took away everything that made it such a fantastic jersey.

I don't understand how someone can hate the Jets' current logo. Clean, good colour combination, and I think it strikes a balance between being interesting without being too busy.
