What was the worst jersey in modern NHL history?

[FMichael]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually really hate Vegas' grey jersey especially. The logo, the colours, the pattern... It looks like a cheap "Create-A-Team" generic jersey template you'd have on the NHL video game..

Must agree.

Pretty much everything about Vegas - team name - logo - colors...All crap.

 

[Dynamite Time]

The logo of course was hideous and ruined these. I do dig the color scheme on them though.

 

[Prsut18]

well, many candidates, but if I take only recent years...
I hated the fact that Ottawa and Pittsburgh used the same template, only different colors.... especially for team like Pens with all those starpower it was a bit weird... glad they swittched to the retros they wear now... Ottawa needs a change too
..and also Calgary can do much better than now

Yall can talk smack about my beloved Preds mustard 3rd ( yes I still wear it to games), but this thread proves that just about every franchise in this league has had one way worse.

That Blues, Kings, Ducks, and omg that Toronto stripe thing?

At a 45 degree angle, the bear head looks like a pinched off piece of poo a dog would leave on your front yard.

This jersey made me laugh out loud for 5 minutes straight the bear has such a funny face

 

[Gnashville]

I thought hey used it for a few games? I remember the unveiling of it and how sick I got and had assumed they put them into game action.

You sure about this?

They never wore them.

The navy/copper ones actually didn’t look too bad in person. Got one in my closet. The whites, on the other hand, were the worst jerseys in team history.

Anyone wearing the white ones out in public was only a nightcap away from looking like Ebeneezer Scrooge.

They are awful

Personally love that Dallas one. Also their dark green/black with golden star jersey. Dislike their newest version.

 

[These Are The Days]

The Buffaslug Jerseys. Ugly jersey, beyond horrendous logo. We thought they were a prank when they were unveiled. And I still think someone lost a bet somewhere along the line with these "classics"....

The subject of constant ridicule. And to be honest, they deserved the scorn they received.

I can't believe it took 3 pages to see Buffaslug. Can we get a shop of Slug on a certain politician?? That would be funny

 

[Howie Hodge]

The original Penguins Jerseys were fubar also....

 

[Howie Hodge]

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

 

[John Bruins]

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

 

[These Are The Days]

Looks like something you'd buy at a Mardi Gras festival in one of those local shops and not a hockey jersey

That facial hair in the first picture is worse than the jerseys.

 

[Eisen]

The fisherman jerseys were one of the best ever.

 

[schnapshot]

This was pretty horrific as well:

 

[Butch 19]

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, by Atlanta was terrible. Including the team name, logos (accents too), colors, and jersey designs (not even showing the light blue **** here).

Nothing about these jerseys said "hockey."

 

[Cellee]

Those white Atlanta ones are not bad at all

The away is not that bad either, they just should have kept the primary logo on the front.

 

[Goldenshark]

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

Nah, that’s a masterpiece.

As are these:

Except for the white skates which are hideous

Not as great, but nowhere near the worst and you can see the evolution 15 years later to the Sharks:

 

[Asheville]

Unless you're the Rangers (an O6) words should not be permitted as logos on a jersey. Even in New York's case, the statue of liberty logo was epic and could easily be the primary logo to the approval of many.

 

[puckIuck]

looks like a clown suit

 

[The Burning GOAT]

This also has to be near the top. Just a horrendous colour and the "Predator" looks dumb.

Echoes of work by legendary tattoo master Strelok

 

[Ceremony]

The Canadiens barber pole jersey is the best post-1967 NHL jersey ever, and it's not remotely close.

 

[Koivu11]

I thought these were absolutely terrible.
