Anaheim - Is the current set an improvement over the last ones? Oh yeah. They're still the worst in the league, though.
Arizona - zzz. Add some horizontal striping or something, jeez.
Calgary - Go retro. The home and road are a mess.
Carolina - Needs a complete re-branding.
Colorado - Just...awful. The old design is possible, use it.
Florida - Never liked the look to begin with, but even with the return to red and the piping being removed it's still a bad template. Again, no hem striping whatsoever looks terrible.
Ottawa - Go back to the original logo and stop trying to look tough. Keep the alternates.
San Jose - Hem striping adds weight...but front numbers don't? Okay... The all-black look is terrible for a team that had fully embraced the teal.
Washington - The modernized look already looks dated. Go with the W as the primary and go from there.

Minor changes:
Buffalo - Ditch the alternates, for the love of God. Also if you'd ditch the piping and go back to the lighter shade of blue that'd be great, thaaaaaaanks.
Los Angeles - There needs to be some color in an alternate, preferably the old purple & gold throwbacks make a return. I'm certainly no fan of the pencil-point logo, but with 2 Cups under it there's no way in hell it gets pushed aside...unless AEG inexplicably decides to sell the team to Howard Baldwin.
Minnesota - Ditch the red.
NY Islanders - I hate those alternates, but they're inexplicably popular...but at least make the numbers normal-sized. It's weird seeing the stretched-out numbers in a normal-sized arena.
Pittsburgh - Promote the alternates to home and add a matching white for the road. I think this is inevitable in a couple years.
Tampa - Ditch that alternate, it's a total disaster.
Toronto - I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see the 11-point leaf kicked to the curb in favor of the 35-point leaf. The Leafs have won nothing with the 11-point leaf.
Vancouver - Ditch the VANCOUVER over the logo.
Winnipeg - Not a fan of the designs in general, but I wish they'd at least acknowledge the old Jets in an alternate.

I actually love the Isles alternatives. Get rid of the stupid puck with Islanders in the center cause that's bland.

The 'Yotes Jerseys are actually okay. Maybe at a crescent moon .
Crazy for the Sabres '08 (the ones the fans hated. I still don't understand that)
Hurricanes alternates are alright. main ones look too much like a toilet bowl. they need some work.
Jackets main are sooo much better than that stupid cannon. If your going to use that at least get rid of circle that says columbus blue jackets around it.
Really Miss the Oilers Metallic Gear
Kings should go back to their founding purple and gold. Or at least use the Crown instead of the freaking baseball diamond.
Miss the Rangers Lady Liberty
don't mind the Pens alternate that much. Reminds me of their cup winning years
I'd like to see the last Cup winning Leaf Jerseys.
Miss the Caps diving Eagle.
The Jets air force is fantastic. (at least it's an actual jet. as in fighter jet. that actually says something)

Anything with just plain words is ridiculous. You may well be sporting Nike and Adidas. am I the only one who gets that ???

a side note- when I first saw those 3rd Sabres I thought I was watching the predators

these are gorgeous. I shake my head in disbelief every time I see them wondering why Flames management hasn't changed back to them yet. Flames fans need to organize a petition or something. these are 100x better looking than what they have now.

would be nice if the Jets went back to these as well. their current uni's are crap.

Gotta believe it'll happen in the near future, and it will be glorious, Maybe bring back that old black and yellow "PITTSBURGH" diagonal as the 3rd? That'll be a solid jersey set.

God, I hope not. The "Pittsburgh" diagonal was one of their worst jersey designs ever. The designer of both that and the Robopenguin pajamas need to be consigned to a special level of hell.

Blame the Coriolis effect for all things that swirl looking the same. It also happens to look a stylized version of a swirling hurricane.

It should be pointed out that just about every other team named Hurricanes has come up with some variation on ultimately the same thing.

So of those, only Miami isn't using something that evokes the shape of a hurricane (I'll give the Jamaica Hurricanes leeway for using a tornado. Also Saarland's logo seems to be halfway between a hurricane and a football - the sweeping font for the "C" and "S" also bear resemblance to the bands of a hurricane) or storm flags. That's seven marketing departments that have circled back onto some variation of the same theme.

I get all that, but it's still a pretty meh logo. Hurricanes is just one of those names that doesn't lend itself to a good logo...as proven by the list of Hurricanes logos you posted :P

Winnipeg needs to bring their old ones back
Hawks need to wear their jersey where they just switch the back and red with eachother. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.
Panthers jerseys are kinda bad, I like their logo but the color scheme is bad.
Penguins need to go back to their black and YELLOW not their new black and gold
Edit: can't find the hawks black one, its similar to the stadium series one last year, just looks better imo

Ottawa needs to give up on the cartoons and move on to the classier looking O jerseys permanently, I think.

Pens need to make the 3rds the new old home unis, and make a white version for the road.


....Does that count?

I thought the same, and I think they will do this eventually. Fans are clamoring for it and they're pretty good at listening to the fans. I wouldn't mind the aways being the diagonal Pittsburgh jerseys either.

My poor Wellington Hurricanes. They play Rugby in bright yellow too. :laugh:

As for Hockey Jerseys. I'd say Tampa Bay needs a new one. It looks plain and cheap rather than clean and simple.

Flames. I love the colours but the piping and flags need to go. Or better yet, go retro
