What was the worst jersey in modern NHL history?

[mattihp]

Not the worst but always hated this one

The Mustard Monster!

The Mustard Monster!

That's close but the Thrashers are the worst....

 

[orby]

Bruins' Pooh Jerseys
Preds' mustard jerseys
Islanders' black/wordmark jerseys
Sabres' weird yellow thirds
Almost any of the Thrashers' jerseys
Canucks' V jersey (it's iconic but not because it looks good)

The Ducks current jerseys are horrific. They went from arguably the best Jersey with their Disney Purples, to the atrocity they wear now

 

[Albatros]

Early 2000s most teams in the league had so atrocious jerseys that watching hockey became an eyesore altogether.

 

[JianYang]

I think the Habs centennial jerseys really deserve a break, they were one-offs, actually worn by the team in their history. Not like anyone in modern NHL age designed them.

The Buffaslug, Fisherman, uniprons, Flying Duck and most of the Predators nonsense on the other hand are inexcusable .

Other than the barber jerseys, I thought all those habs jerseys ranged from being good to great.

That particular jersey is kind of ugly. There are too many strips or they are just too big. The logo also looks too small.

These would look really good, IMO. I think the Whaler green is too dull.

Ahh yes. Clearly the one thing holding the Whale back was that they didn't look like the 2018 Seattle Seahawks.

Haha the Whalers logo with the giant blue and white stripe looks pretty terrible.

I don't think its their best look (I actually prefer the jerseys they wore right before they left to NC more than any of their others) but I wouldn't say its terrible. The colors work together very nicely on the ice (was at the game they wore them this year, and I do say they work well on the ice) and I have seen quite a few others across the league that are worse. Much worse.

I could not agree with you more!!! Teams like Buffalo, Washington, Pittsburgh, St Louis, Vancouver, Philadelphia, Calgary, LA, and Dallas/Minnesota all have great uniforms now and had great uniforms in the '70s and '80s (Vancouver in the '70s and '90s, not '80s) but had HORRIBLE uniforms in early 2000s! Teams like Arizona (then Phenix) and Colorado started out with horrible uniforms. Arizona has thankfully changed.

Not so coincidentally, I didn't follow or watch hockey at all except playoffs, during that time period of the late '90s and early to mid-2000s. Whereas in the '80s, early 90's, and 2000 teens, I follow and watch hockey religiously.

Nothing is worse than this:

Agreed, the Burger King LA jersey might be the worst in pro sports...

I also am super meh on Nashville's current look. I really liked their navy and silver scheme of the past.

 

[Boreal]

Not enough disrespect for the current Tampa kits. They are the Maple Leafs ECHL farm team in appearance... Stamkos looks like he is probably wearing the same uniform he wore when he was 11 years old at this point. Other than that, Tampa is incredible. But dang.

wtf, Tampa and Leafs jersey are pretty much the same damn thing... no issues with those jerseys...

 

[Morbo]

Any Vancouver jersey.

 

[Sports2]

Oilers and Canucks in the late 90s/2000s had some of the most hideous jerseys ever unleashed.

Nah these are great. They've got character and make the updated logo seem faded.

 

[Huggy]

Bonus pic of cool cat too.

 

[Pietrangelo]

IMO the sens jersey they’ve been wearing for the past however many seasons is pretty hideous.
I’m really happy they are going back to their old logo though.

 

[qqaz]

Any jersey bad enough to have a nickname is definitely in the running.

Mooterus
Fishstick
Brger Kings
Mustard Monster
Buffaslug
Cool Cat
Wild Wing
Kachina

They're all so bad.

Gotta respectfully disagree. The Kachina is a work of art, and some of the others are cool in an ironic way (imo, of course).

Buffaslug is for the logo, not the jersey. The jersey themselves wasn’t too terrible.

 

[snipes]

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

This one was the first one I thought of as well.

Worst sweater of all time easily.

I'll agree there. I've gone on record saying I actually like that jersey. The Derek Roy era.

Normally, I would just HATE the idea of 2 teams having an identical color scheme. However, I really like basic color schemes like Detroit and Toronto. Because Tampa copied a team with a GREAT color scheme, I can tolerate it.

On the other hand, I was really disappointed and downright ticked off when I saw that Seattle has the EXACT same color scheme as Winnipeg! Unlike Toronto, Winnipeg has more of an obscure color scheme as opposed to a great, basic color scheme. Which is fine for ONE team. But I sure as hell don't want two teams with the same obscure color scheme!

 

[Nemesis Prime]

And every other team who went that shitty basketball jersey style.

Pretty sure these Habs jerseys violate the Geneva convention.
