I read an article today in the Athletic that showed all 31 jerseys. The only one without a front view was Chicago. It was a side shot of the jersey so that the “offensive “ logo was not visible.This woke cancel culture really sickens me. It invades everything like a cancer. So for that reason I’ll vote for the “Chicago Hockey Team” even though I haven’t actually seen the jersey.

The Whalers are offensive since their sole purpose was to hunt and kill whales. So now they are referred to as the Hartford Whales who simply kill seals or eat shrimp. Remove one letter and get woke.

The Islanders did an amazing job on their third jersey. The different shade of blue is quite inspiring. Truly refreshing!

Colorado wins this by a long-shot and it's not even close.

Carolina....why are you using another franchise? Same with Colorado. Use your own dam teams. Thats a weak effort. The Islanders one is a disappointment, just like everything else out there. The Ducks one is awesome. Its so insane its great. St. Louis, NYR and Buffalo have pretty cool ones. I would have liked to see the Colorado Rockies for the Devils or even an Atlanta Thrashers for the Jets since we don't seem to be following any rules. Its a good idea. I wonder how they will implement this. Will they be able to wear them at any time or will there be a "reverso week"? This has the feeling of players week in the MLB. Not a fan of that but its a money grab.

But what does the logo mean ? It looks like an elephant with a hockey stick for a trunk.

What the Ek ?

Kings. They really need to go back to Forum Blue and Gold. Permanently.

And bring back the Gold sweaters/pants/sox combo with Forum Blue trim. Best home unis ever.

The Kings were my faves too and then either the Canes or Avs. Agree that the Kings should ditch the black and white and go back to the Purple and Gold / Gold and Purple combos...or sure Forum Blue.

As a Sens fan I hate the 2D logo. But I love the red Jersey.

In my opinion the overall winners of this are...
Caps
Kings
Avs


My Personal favorite is the Caps... although I wish they did Black instead of dark Blue

Am I the only one to see that MacK has the captain logo on the retro AVS jersey?

Top 3 best:

1: Avs
2: Carolina
3: Habs

Top 3 lamest:

1: Detroit (They look like cheaped out regular jersey)
2: Islanders (Can't even see the difference)
3: Leafs (Talk about boring)

The Ducks one is polarizing.

Some find it amazing, others find it horrible.

Personally, I hoped to see this logo back but oh well:

Leafs logo is too small

It is pretty tough to make blue and white look ugly. Somehow they managed.

Panthers retro is pretty nice, a reverse of their ‘96 red jersey. The reverse retro effect is greatly diminished by the fact that they already used this idea not too long after the ‘96 season. Some Retro effect points regained with the original logo and shoulder patch being used again Should’ve never changed from the pouncing panther to the “zoo sign” logo. Although this look isn’t new, the “new” shade of gold looks much better with the dark blue than the old bright yellow did.
Man, they should go back to the original logo, even if they keep their new style jerseys.

Anyone saying the wild have a good or the best, nah. They took their rat head logo and used North Star colors. Those colors actually should belong to the Dallas Stars, not the wild. Those colors have never been in the wild organization. I was a huge North Stars fan before Norm Greed move them to Dallas, now the wild and dallas both suck.

The Blues took their worst jersey ever, and made it even worse.

Did they ever actually wear that, though? I thought Keenan(?) shot it down
Edit; I just read the text next to the pic, it answered my questions.
