The Big 10 - Best Uniforms Ever
Hey everyone, hope your week is going well. Lemme distract you for a few minutes with the 10 best uniforms in NHL history. Roll it...
10. 1987-1995 Washington Capitals
Classic, old school look. These sweaters were fashionable and patriotic all at the same time. The word mark on the front was just about identical to the Washington Bullets jerseys, also.
9. 1995-1996 Edmonton Oilers
I like these jerseys because they keep with the Oilers winning years, and at the same time update the piping and pantones just enough to keep it modern. I read somewhere where they are going back to the look next year, and I couldn't be happier about it.
8. 2009- Chicago Blackhawks
Admiring these is a tough pill to swallow, being a Flyers fan and all, but you can't argue that alternate. That thing is absolutely fucking gorgeous, plain and simple. I believe they debuted them for the Winter Classic in 2009. So glad they stayed in the wardrobe for future seasons.
7. 1982-1983 All Star Game (Campbell Conference)
If the Flyers and the Rangers had a baby, this is what the onesey would look like. Bright, yet sensible colors with a 3-D effect on the numbers makes this a can't miss.
6. 1944-1947 Montreal Canadiens
Taking it back to the old school for this one. These sweaters are a little simpler than their current counterparts. Less striping, smaller numbers, but they just look right. No other way to describe what you're looking at here.
5. 2009- Philadelphia Flyers
Currently, the Flyers are featuring an old school look at home, with a white nameplate over an orange sweater. Absolutely awesome! Starting next season, look for the Flyboys to wear last season's Winter Classic whites as their primary road uni. These jerseys feature a black nameplate on a white sweater.
4. 2000-2003 Calgary Flames
Ah yes, the flaming horse. I was such a huge fan of that look. It had nothing to do with it being the original logo for my first hockey team I ever played on :) But even beside that, it just looked fucking bad ass. can ya argue with a flaming horse? No, ya can't!
3. 2009- Minnesota Wild
Credit where credit is due. the Minnesota uni is hodge podge of old school designs and colors. No real theme, no constant color scheme. But it's brilliant. Old school jerseys for a new team. Genius! I love it!
2. 1963-1967 Toronto Maple Leafs
This was the last years of the "original" leaf before it was brought back as an alt in recent years. The jersey is simple and elegant, with alternating shoulder colors, TV numbers, and just enough piping to make it look classy.
And the number one jersey is...
1978-1987 New York Rangers
It pains me to say this, because I fucking HATE the Rangers (there's your impartiality for ya), but these uniforms were as close to perfect as you could get. Nice striping, unique name and number font, no crazy logos on the front. The team name on the home sweaters and the city on the road uni is a great touch that I am really fond of. All in all, my fave set.
As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome. Drop me a line, and as always, thanks for reading.
