Ranking NHL Jerseys

16. Nashville Predators (Last Place): Their uniform has an older look, and the yellow is a little too dark. They have also had the same jersey concept for 13 years, so it gets a little boring for me. 

15. Utah Hockey Club

This is my least favorite jersey overall because it is really simple with just the words “Utah” across it. However, I cut them some slack because it is their first season since rebranding.

14. Chicago Blackhawks: 

This jersey has been around for a while, and its design is fairly similar in the home and away jerseys. While the jersey has a lot of history, they should change the design to make it a little more eye-catching.

13. Los Angeles Kings: 

While the Kings did rebrand this year, they changed their helmet colors to plain black and white. While I do like the jersey and the new logo, I would have liked a more vibrant helmet color like last year. (They had black and white but also a flashy silver helmet.)

12. Edmonton Oilers: 

The Oilers have a nice concept and their logo is very eye-catching with the bright oranges and blues and the famous logo, but the socks and shorts are a bit repetitive as they have been in previous years.

11. Seattle Kraken: I’m sorry to say it, but the Seattle team's jerseys will not be in the top 10. While their colors are good, I would like to see a little more emphasis on the alternate logo and the red seems a little out of place.

10. Las Vegas Golden Knights: The Golden Knights have really creative sweaters, with vintage gold, white, and a dark gray highlighting the bunch. I enjoy the concept, but I would like it better if they put their secondary logo on the alternate jersey.

9. Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks brought back their old logo, and it changed the entire trajectory of the jersey. NHL.com said that the Ducks brought back orange as their main color to signify living in Orange County, and I’m impressed by their creativity.

8. St. Louis Blues: The Blues have really good home and alternate jerseys. The combination of yellow, white, dark blue, and light blue highlights the jersey and makes it really cool. The baby blue and yellow on the alternate make it a kit that stands out.

7. Calgary Flames: The Flames have done a really excellent job on their jerseys. The bright crimson and yellow on the home jersey are a perfect combo, and I love how they put their fearsome secondary logo on their alternate jersey. The away kit also has a nice touch with red and gold.

6. Winnipeg Jets: With deep blues and flashy red and white, the Jets have lovely jerseys. While the concept is simple, the colors complement each other and the logo to make a perfect jersey.

5. Minnesota Wild: Minnesota’s jerseys are like the team name: wild. The array of colors in the home and away sweaters are fun and stand out. However, they have my personal favorite alternate jersey in the league in a lime green with lemon yellow and bright white highlights.

4. Vancouver Canucks: Vancouver’s alternate logo is a “flying skate” that represents their passion for hockey. The green and blue match the colors of the Pacific Northwest. 

3. Colorado Avalanche: The Avalanche have another eye-catching design on their jersey, as the blues, whites, and burgundy  signify different parts of the Colorado environment. The alternate logo has a mountain with a C in it to represent their home state.

2. Dallas Stars: The Stars have striking home and away jerseys that are respectable and crisp, but the jersey that catches my eye is their alternate. With their logo inside the shape of Texas and a dark “Blackout” theme that is lit up by neon green stripes, it is truly a great jersey.

1. San Jose Sharks: The San Jose Sharks have my personal favorite NHL kit. Their home jersey is a nice teal that represents the waters around the Bay Area, and the away kit carries the same theme. However, the alternate kit is amazing with the alternate logo shining its way through the teal, white, and black.
