As the offseason starts to quiet down I'm curious as to what jerseys currently in use around the league does everyone like or dislike the most.

My current top 5:

Blues thirds light blue
Montreal road whites
Carolina Whaler throwbacks
Detroit home reds
Penguins road whites

Sabres road whites
Either Habs
Minnesota and LA reverse retros

Sabres road whites are gorgeous. Wish that team could get their shit together.

Yeah, they've been in the dumpster long enough.

Blues 3rds are amazing but I never go homer on these types of questions.
Rangers home
Sabres Home and Away
Islanders home
Red Wings home
Canadiens home
Flyers home

I do like the Flyers jerseys a lot, but I preferred the Lindros era duller orange personally.

I would love to see the Leafs go back to their 80’s jerseys. I prefer that logo and the blue or white on the shoulders. I’m surprised they haven’t rolled that out as a throwback yet...those were great. Their 3rd this past season was a lame attempt

Yep, I prefer the Broadstreet Bully jerseys when they were darker and on reddish side. Too orange now, don't like.

Sorry, but Chicago has some classics.

Absolutely. Love their whites. Great now I feel dirty. It was bad enough I love Detroit’s so much.

Another banging set is Calgary’s currents with the return to the classic look.

My favorite jerseys:
Blues current 3rd
Blues 68 White
Calgary Blasty
Original Devils Red/Green Jersey
Thrashers original road jersey

Those original Devils jerseys were very underrated. I wish they would have kept that red and green color scheme.

Calgary just looks unbelievable now that they went back in time. Their home/away set might be my fav in the league right now. After that, I'm a sucker for all the classics that have already been mentioned.
I really wish the Blues would transition away from navy at some point. It dulls them down too much. I'm pumped to see the white winter classic jersey they will unveil next year. I'm sure it will just be a white version of the current thirds. But, maybe we can get lucky enough that they make that and the current thirds the new primary unis.

MattyIce and I were talking at work the other day and he brought up the subject about the best year for NHL jerseys, and we both agreed, the 89-90 year is flat out the best of any NHL time frame. There isn’t a bad jersey in the NHL at that time. They were all good.

That's a pretty good year. Crucially you get the Canucks Black/Yellow skate jerseys, Whalers still wearing green, and Devils still in the Christmas colors. I was going to make a case for 91-92 because you get the Sharks original teals, but that was also the year the North Stars changed from their awesome jerseys into the black "Stars" in a major step down.

That website is awesome by the way.

Best Blues jersey ever.

Love it. Pair this with the current powder blue and that should be the blues home/away jerseys.

I love that site. 89-90 is my favorite season, but my only gripe is the North Stars added black to their jerseys.

Damn Matt, you got an eye for that stuff. Never noticed that. Still, the North Star jersey looked good. Their home whites were extra good.

The simple act of including the 1934-35 St. Louis Eagles (my dearly departed Dad's one & only hockey team, with his favorite player Fido Purpur) is enough to get MY endorsement for a Must-Bookmark site.

Gonna be hard in my mind to ever beat the Canadiens sweaters for classic style. Though that reverse-blue model puts a serious chink in their historical uni-armor.

Canadiens jersey is classic. All original 6 are classic. I put Boston at the bottom when ranking those 6.

It's barely even debatable, it's the Kachina Coyote jersey.

A distant second is probably the Rangers Liberty jersey.

Then the all black Flames jersey with the horse with red snot flying out it's nose

You're leaving out the Sabres' "Buffaslug" and Islanders "Fisherman" jerseys?
