Top 5 Worst NHL Jerseys
Appears the NHL is looking to promote cycling safety at the upcoming All Star game on Jan 25! Well that would be the only excuse for the new horrendous luminous jersey's they have selected for the leagues finest to wear.
But unlike previous offenders, this one will warrant only a slap on the wrist! Here are some of the leagues more forgettable jersey inclusions.
Vancouver Canucks (1982 Home Jersey)
As bigger fan as I am of the Canucks, this jersey along with the majority of their earlier ones, was a mess! Nothing went right with their original 1982 effort and for years Vancouver had one of the ugliest jerseys in the league! Finally they have gotten things right with our current uniform, but that doesn't erase the nightmares of old!
Phoenix Coyotes (1996 Inaugural Jersey)
Oh dear! This complete miss-match of teal, desert and cactus is like something your Dad would embarrass you with at a family gathering! As for the logo, it is a good thing the Coyote got this one sorted as it looks almost like some kind of cyber dog! Points for promoting their roots, zero points for design!
Atlanta Thrashers (1999 3rd Jersey)
Little went right in the history of the Atlanta Thrashers (including Patrik Stefan) and this... interesting third number was the cherry on a disappointing cake. Maroon rarely succeeds in sports and this dull and uneven uniform only proves that point further!At their replacement the Winnipeg Jets learned from this earlier mistake!
Nashville Predators (2001 Third Jersey)
Don't get me wrong, this uniform is by no means the worst you will ever see, but the mustard yellow colour just gives it a rather bizarre feel. The Predators gold home jersey suits them well, but aside from a cool logo, this uniform was a rather false start to their history.
New York Islanders (1995 Home Jersey)
After a glorious early 1980's period and have one of the more iconic and better looking jerseys and logo's in Hockey, the Islanders did a bizarre mid 90's u-turn with this teal and dark blue numbers. The biggest crime here was the change in logo to a man who looks as if Captain Birds Eye is having a nervous breakdown! Thankfully in 1998, the original was thankfully restored!
