We are arguably living in a golden era for NHL uniforms.
Teams today enjoy unprecedented creative freedom in designing what their players wear – and what fans eagerly purchase. Since 2017, Adidas has paved the way for teams to revive classic aesthetics and introduce memorable new designs. As the Fanatics era approaches next season, the NHL’s visual appeal has never been stronger.
With several teams unveiling new home jerseys this summer, it’s the perfect moment for a refreshed edition of our Daily Faceoff power rankings. This time, we’re evaluating every team’s primary uniform for the 2024-25 season. I’m thrilled to collaborate with Scott Maxwell and Colton Davies in this endeavor to rank all 32 NHL home jerseys, from the most stylish to the least impressive.
1. Calgary Flames

Mike: 1st
Scott: 1st
Colton: 2nd
Mike: For years, Calgary fans passionately requested the Flames to revert to their original color scheme, and in 2020, the team finally answered. While many believe the Flames lightened their red upon returning to the “retro” jerseys, they’ve consistently used the same shade. The absence of black on the uniforms merely creates a brighter appearance. The Flames might be a few years away from playoff contention, but they’ll certainly look sharp in these uniforms.
Scott: Absolutely, it’s a fantastic blend of vintage style with a contemporary, clean look. They are called the Flames, after all; their jerseys should definitely feature a combination of red, yellow, and white. However, there’s also a degree of nostalgia for their other main jersey due to its association with Jarome Iginla.
2. Buffalo Sabres
Image alt text: Buffalo Sabres player in their royal blue and gold home jersey, highlighting the Sabres logo and striping.
Mike: 2nd
Scott: 2nd
Colton: 1st
Scott: For a franchise known for consistent struggles, it’s almost unfair that they possess two of the league’s best jersey designs. I appreciate the black, red, and grey jerseys featuring the buffalo head, but the royal blue jerseys with their current logo are truly iconic. I still can’t fathom who thought it was a good idea to introduce a navy blue version (cringes).
Mike: Indeed, the navy blue iterations overstayed their welcome. They were overly detailed and lacked any distinctive appeal. The royal blue is superior in every aspect, and I particularly love the subtle embroidered details in the logo. It’s among the most refined uniforms in the NHL.
Colton: Everything about this jersey is simply exceptional.
3. Edmonton Oilers
Image alt text: Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers wearing the team’s classic blue and orange home uniform during a game.
Mike: 5th
Scott: 4th
Colton: 3rd
Colton: The blue and orange color scheme just evokes happiness, and I believe this combination works exceptionally well for any sports team. For a period during the Reebok era, the Oilers unfortunately switched to dark navy jerseys, which was a visual misstep. Returning to the blue and orange brings fans back to the glorious Gretzky era.
Mike: The Oilers’ previous orange Adidas jerseys were undeniably poor. The colors were off – the orange was too pale, the navy too dark, and the perforated numbers looked strange even from a short distance. The Battle of Alberta is now also the best-dressed rivalry in the league, with both the Oilers and Flames sporting stunning jerseys.
Scott: Exactly, this is the quintessential Edmonton Oilers jersey. Too many years of the McDavid era were somewhat diminished by the team’s insistence on using the orange primary jersey when these iconic blue and orange ones were available.
4. Pittsburgh Penguins
Image alt text: Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins in their black and gold home jersey, a classic look for the franchise.
Mike: 7th
Scott: 6th
Colton: 5th
Mike: I’ve always had a fondness for the jerseys Pittsburgh wore when Sidney Crosby first entered the league – the “Vegas gold” always looked remarkably sharp – but these black and gold uniforms are undeniably the Penguins’ signature look. It’s interesting how city colors become established: Calgary is a city of red teams, Seattle’s teams favor navy blue, and Pittsburgh is synonymous with black and yellow. These jerseys are inextricably linked with winning and always will be.
Scott: For once, I completely agree with Mike. The Vegas gold look holds nostalgic value because of Crosby’s early years, but the current jerseys simply scream Pittsburgh.
5. Toronto Maple Leafs
Image alt text: Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs wearing their iconic blue and white home jersey, a symbol of the team’s tradition.
Mike: 11th
Scott: 3rd
Colton: 8th
Scott: I’ll openly admit my bias in ranking the Leafs third, as I see this jersey most frequently. But after enduring years of the uninspired Ballard-era Leaf logo and jersey, the current design from the past decade is just so clean and appealing. Moreover, in a league with numerous blue teams, it speaks volumes that the Leafs are often the first team that comes to mind when thinking of that color, whether you’re a fan or not.
Mike: These are definitively the best jerseys the Leafs have worn in my lifetime. They are both simple and striking, placing them in the same esteemed category as teams like Montreal and Detroit for me.
6. Montreal Canadiens
Image alt text: Montreal Canadiens player in their classic red, white, and blue home jersey, a timeless design in hockey.
Mike: 8th
Scott: 8th
Colton: 7th
Colton: This is truly a classic jersey. We’re talking about a piece of hockey history. The blue, red, and white color scheme is instantly recognizable, and Montreal has maintained remarkable consistency in their jersey design throughout their 100+ years in the NHL, which I think is a fantastic tribute to past players and fans.
Mike: I know many Habs fans would prefer to eliminate the “toilet seat” collar on these, but otherwise, it’s challenging to find fault with the classic bleu, blanc, et rouge.
Scott: Agreed, you simply can’t alter an iconic look significantly, although their reverse retros with blue as the primary color were a commendable attempt at a fresh design and are perhaps underutilized.
7. Boston Bruins
Image alt text: Boston Bruins player Patrice Bergeron in their black and gold home uniform, featuring the Spoked-B logo.
Mike: 13th
Scott: 7th
Colton: 9th
Mike: I still believe Boston would benefit from a slightly simpler design, but these are perfectly acceptable and classic jerseys for an Original Six franchise. I think they could be improved by removing the shoulder yoke and some outlines on the Spoked B logo, but as they are, they are not bad (and certainly much better than the uniforms they wore for their centennial celebration in 2023-24).
Scott: I must admit, my relatively high ranking of the Bruins is partly due to relief. Seeing these jerseys after the disastrous 2023-24 centennial jerseys, these feel like a comforting, familiar friend. I appreciate the original Orr-era look they attempted to replicate with the centennial jerseys, but they seemed faded and washed out, like they’d lost all their color in the sun.
8. Los Angeles Kings
Image alt text: Los Angeles Kings player wearing their black, white, and silver home jersey, reminiscent of the Gretzky era.
Mike: 10th
Scott: 10th
Colton: 10th
Scott: I chuckled seeing that we all ranked the Kings 10th, yet they are 8th in the aggregate ranking. I’m very pleased they’re returning to the Gretzky-era look, which earns them significant points. However, the only element preventing them from a top-five spot for me is that somewhat awkward stripe at the bottom of the jersey.
Mike: The stripe does appear disproportionately large, doesn’t it? It might look better in game action, but I’m already second-guessing my high ranking, even though these are undoubtedly a major upgrade from their previous uniforms.
Colton: The return to the Gretzky-era aesthetic is incredibly refreshing.
9. Detroit Red Wings
Image alt text: Detroit Red Wings player in their iconic red and white home jersey, featuring the winged wheel logo.
Mike: 9th
Scott: 11th
Colton: 11th
Colton: Detroit’s winged wheel logo dates back to the 1930s and has become a beloved symbol for Detroit fans, a logo I consider top-five in the league. While minor cosmetic changes have occurred over time, the winged wheel has remained largely unchanged. For two full decades, the jersey design was static. Again, it’s a nod to history and the deep roots of the Original Six.
Mike: I’ve always been a big fan of the arched player names on the back of every Red Wings jersey. It’s a subtle detail, but it adds a perfect touch of character to an otherwise basic-looking uniform. No, Detroit’s uniforms are not flashy, but they perfectly suit a Red Wings franchise with a rich history of being the NHL’s model of class.
Scott: Growing up surrounded by Red Wings fans, I’ve always appreciated the look of their jersey. It’s simple, yet undeniably iconic. Admittedly, it limits their options for alternate jerseys because they lack consistently used secondary colors, making any alternative jersey likely inferior. (Though I do wonder what a black alternate jersey might look like). My only other observation is that these jerseys tend to look less impressive during preseason due to the peculiar nameplate font they use then.
10. Vancouver Canucks
Image alt text: Vancouver Canucks player Quinn Hughes in their blue and green home jersey, featuring the orca logo.
Mike: 22nd
Scott: 5th
Colton: 6th
Mike: For some reason, I’m not as enthusiastic about these Canucks jerseys as Scott and Colton. I’ve actually always preferred the uniforms they wore in the early 2000s with the red and silver accents. I don’t dislike Vancouver’s current color scheme, but I think the uniforms themselves appear somewhat dated and could use a subtle refresh. (And I’m not particularly fond of the Flying Skate logo, either).
Scott: Much like with the Leafs, there’s a nostalgic element to my high ranking, as I became a hockey fan during their 2011 playoff run, so I simply like the look. However, Mike is objectively wrong on both his preferences: the red and silver accents are considerably more bland, and while the Flying Skate is a bit chaotic, it remains an iconic look.
11. San Jose Sharks
Image alt text: San Jose Sharks player in their teal, black, and white home jersey, highlighting the shark logo.
Mike: 6th
Scott: 15th
Colton: 15th
Scott: The Sharks have consistently had a strong lineup of jerseys, as their unique color scheme always looks sharp on the ice. I do appreciate the vintage feel of the current Sharks jerseys, but similar to my critique of the Kings’ jerseys, they lost some points for the design of the stripes at the bottom.
Mike: It just occurred to me that all three California-based NHL teams recently underwent significant rebrands. The Sharks initiated it, and I believe they executed it best. I love the teal helmets and pants, I think the striping is well-designed (come on, Scott!), and the number font on the back is distinctive yet not overly eccentric. Macklin Celebrini will make these jerseys iconic.
Scott: The striping is acceptable, but it could be improved.
12. St. Louis Blues
Image alt text: St. Louis Blues player in their blue and yellow home jersey, featuring the Blues note logo.
Mike: 4th
Scott: 20th
Colton: 12th
Colton: I might have ranked these too low. As a kid in the early 2000s, these were among my favorites. The blue, navy, and yellow blend together so seamlessly. If St. Louis were to make the baby blue jersey, currently their alternate, their home jersey, I would rank them in the top five.
Mike: I strongly disagree, Colton. If St. Louis ever reverts to the powder blue jerseys, they’ll plummet in my rankings. I remember feeling relieved when the Blues abandoned their awful Reebok Edge jerseys to return to this look in 2014. The two shades of blue appear far more timeless and stylish to me than the retro jerseys, which evoke a 1973 vibe in the least appealing way. The Blues won the Cup in these – that should be telling enough.
Scott: These are fine, but I much prefer the classic version of their jerseys, essentially the same design without the navy blue.
13. Anaheim Ducks
Image alt text: Anaheim Ducks player in their orange, black, and gold home jersey, featuring the Mighty Ducks logo.
Mike: 12th
Scott: 12th
Colton: 13th
Mike: Had we compiled this list a year ago, Anaheim likely would have finished near the bottom. It seems the three of us agree that the Ducks made a wise decision in reviving the old Mighty Ducks logo, even if they didn’t fully commit to their retro color scheme. I think the jade and eggplant color scheme is wonderfully unique, but I understand why a team in Orange County would want to align themselves with orange so prominently.
Colton: Agreed with Mike, the shift back to the Mighty Ducks-era logo is fantastic. While I also would have loved the eggplant scheme, the orange really makes it pop.
Scott: The only factor preventing this from being a top-five jersey is the absence of eggplant. I understand the desire to maintain the Orange County brand, but teasing us with the classic look and not going all the way is a missed opportunity.
14. Ottawa Senators
Image alt text: Ottawa Senators player Brady Tkachuk in their black and red home jersey, featuring the 2D Senators logo.
Mike: 3rd
Scott: 22nd
Colton: 14th
Scott: Wow, we are genuinely divided on this one. In fairness to the Sens, every jersey I ranked from 4th to 29th is essentially a toss-up, with minor details making the difference. I do appreciate the Sens’ new look, especially with the classic logo, but I think I prefer the red version of the jersey they used as a reverse retro in 2021 over the black ones, which is why their ranking is somewhat lower.
Mike: Some teams simply look better in black, and the Sens are among them. They are the only Canadian team to use it as their primary color, and it’s fitting. I would love to see them introduce a red alternate – their old NHL 100 Classic jerseys would be excellent – but Ottawa fans love the 2D Centurion logo, and I agree with them.
Colton: The 2D logo is incredibly cool. I agree with Mike; the Sens look significantly better in a black jersey.
15. Tampa Bay Lightning
Image alt text: Tampa Bay Lightning player in their blue and white home jersey, featuring the Lightning bolt logo.
Mike: 21st
Scott: 14th
Colton: 17th
Colton: I will concede that I prefer the older black Bolts jersey, but it’s undeniable that the current home jersey looks sleek with their current logo. Tampa had a period in the 2010s where their jerseys were visually unappealing, but I’ve come to appreciate the blue and white color scheme, even if it’s somewhat Toronto-esque.
Mike: There’s nothing particularly “electric” about these Lightning jerseys to me. They feel derivative. I’m unsure what I would change, but I wonder about using a shade of blue closer to aquamarine.
Scott: I like the blue and white look, but I agree that the classic black, white, and blue look is superior, while also being less of a complete imitation of the Maple Leafs.
16. New York Islanders
Image alt text: New York Islanders player Mathew Barzal in their royal blue and orange home jersey, a classic Islanders design.
Mike: 14th
Scott: 21st
Colton: 18th
Mike: It’s interesting: I prefer the Oilers in royal blue, but the Islanders look better in navy. As it stands, I think they resemble the Oilers a bit too much in their current uniforms. Of course, they both wore these colors simultaneously in the 1980s, but the Islanders were a navy team for a considerable time and wore it quite well.
17. Philadelphia Flyers
Image alt text: Philadelphia Flyers player in their orange and black home jersey, a traditional Flyers look.
Mike: 17th
Scott: 19th
Colton: 20th
Scott: It’s a classic look; there’s little to criticize. I might prefer the cleaner versions they used for most of the 2010s, but the current ones also look very good.
Mike: I prefer these jerseys slightly more than their 2010s iterations, but they fall squarely in the middle for me. I do think the Flyers’ contrasting nameplates have run their course – they’re trying too hard to be clever.
18. Washington Capitals
Image alt text: Washington Capitals player Alexander Ovechkin in their red, white, and blue home jersey, featuring the Capitals eagle logo.
Mike: 29th
Scott: 9th
Colton: 19th
Colton: Yes, the Capitals home jersey is somewhat “plain” in some respects, but I find that the red really makes their logo stand out. Yes, the black screaming eagle Reverse Retro jersey is undeniably superior and should be their home jersey, but I do like the red homes they currently use.
Mike: I think I prefer every other jersey the Capitals have worn over these. They very much resemble relics from a bygone era. I don’t mind the Caps in red, but they would be better served by adopting the first Reverse Retro jerseys they wore back in 2021. They represent a perfect blend of past and present.
Scott: I think there’s a pleasingly clean look to it, although it’s one of the few jerseys that I think looks better in white than in red. I personally prefer the older versions with a better shade of blue.
19. Seattle Kraken
Image alt text: Seattle Kraken player in their navy blue and ice blue home jersey, a modern design for the expansion team.
Mike: 18th
Scott: 16th
Colton: 24th
Mike: Look, they’re fine, and it might be hypocritical of me to suggest navy blue jerseys are too common after suggesting the Islanders should revert to theirs, but what slightly diminishes these for me is the lack of contrast. There are many navy jerseys I appreciate; Seattle’s just feel overwhelmingly navy. Perhaps a touch more red would make them pop more.
Colton: If they utilized that “ice blue” or whatever that color is as a primary color, I think it would absolutely make the jersey more striking.
Scott: I do think the clashing blues make it interesting for a navy blue jersey, but ice blue as the main color would be a significant improvement.
20. Dallas Stars
Image alt text: Dallas Stars player in their green and black home jersey, featuring the Stars logo.
Mike: 20th
Scott: 18th
Colton: 21st
Scott: It’s strange, I think the Stars’ color scheme is among the best in the league, or at least the most unique. Yet, something about the jersey just doesn’t fully click. I think the issue for me is the logo. I’d love to see the classic logo on this jersey. It’s certainly better than the bland black “DALLAS” jerseys, but I think they could do better. Like the neon green blackout jerseys—those are much better.
Colton: Those “DALLAS” jerseys were unbearable; they should all be burned. I agree though, one of the best color schemes in sports, yet something feels off.
Mike: A few minor adjustments to the striping and collar would vastly improve these, in my opinion.
21. Chicago Blackhawks
Image alt text: Chicago Blackhawks player Connor Bedard in their red, black, and white home jersey, a controversial but iconic design.
Mike: 31st
Scott: 24th
Colton: 4th
Colton: The reason this is so high for me is because I’m currently looking at a Connor Bedard home jersey, and it’s hard to deny its visual appeal. I understand the controversy surrounding the logo and such, but it’s undeniable that the overall look is iconic.
Mike: I don’t mind Chicago’s colors and striping, but the logo is a non-starter for me. Just my opinion, but I believe there’s a way for them to move forward with a less divisive crest while maintaining a jersey template that is undeniably striking. The Portland Winterhawks did an excellent job with their own rebrand a few years ago.
Scott: Yes, the jerseys are decent, but they aren’t good enough to compensate for the logo. Most redesigns I’ve seen of their logo are significantly better than what they continue to use.
22. Colorado Avalanche
Image alt text: Colorado Avalanche player Cale Makar in their burgundy and blue home jersey, a distinctive Avalanche color scheme.
Mike: 19th
Scott: 25th
Colton: 16th
Mike: I’ve long argued that these jerseys would look significantly better if Colorado darkened the shade of blue to navy. Replacing the silver stripes with white ones would also help considerably. I think it would create a much more cohesive and dynamic look—to me, these just appear somewhat washed out. I have nothing against a maroon jersey, and I like the striping pattern, but the entire look would harmonize more effectively with a few minor changes.
Scott: This might be the only instance where I support changing a color to navy blue; it might lessen the clash between the two colors. They are nice, but I can’t quite articulate why they don’t resonate with me.
23. Vegas Golden Knights
Image alt text: Vegas Golden Knights player Jack Eichel in their gold and black home jersey, a fitting color for the Golden Knights.
Mike: 23rd
Scott: 17th
Colton: 22nd
Scott: I thought my ranking would be the harshest here. While the gold jerseys are more thematically appropriate for the team brand, I actually prefer the original home jersey layout slightly more. At the very least, it’s the one that first comes to mind when I think of the team, even though they won the Cup in the gold jerseys.
Mike: I actually appreciate the special sparkly gold fabric the Knights developed with Adidas for these, but I preferred them as alternates. I’d like to see Vegas revert the grey jerseys to primary status.
24. Nashville Predators
Image alt text: Nashville Predators player Filip Forsberg in their gold and navy home jersey, a bold color choice for Nashville.
Mike: 26th
Scott: 13th
Colton: 26th
Colton: Man, if they abandoned that garish yellow color and switched to navy, Nashville would rank much higher on this list. They have one of the coolest logos in sports, but what are we doing with this yellow as the home jersey?
Scott: I can understand why this isn’t universally appealing, but given their other options involve navy, I have to side with the yellow jerseys. At least they are unique.
Mike: My eyes! I liked the Preds much more when they wore grey and navy. The yellow is just overwhelming. No thank you.
25. New York Rangers
Image alt text: New York Rangers player Artemi Panarin in their blue, red, and white home jersey, a classic Rangers design with diagonal text.
Mike: 15th
Scott: 29th
Colton: 23rd
Mike: I must admit, I’m a bit surprised to see these ranked so low. There’s nothing inherently wrong with them. If anything, these Rangers jerseys were instrumental in popularizing the trend of NHL teams using diagonal wordmarks for the better part of the last century. The colors and striping are classic and suitably “New York.” I think there are teams with more memorable and flashy looks, but I have few complaints about what the Rangers wear.
Scott: The issue here is that you consider the trend of NHL teams using diagonal wordmarks a positive thing. I ranked the Utah jerseys much lower for this, but it borders on the feel of a college hockey jersey with the diagonal words, were it not for the legacy associated with them. They are one of only two teams that don’t use their actual logo on their jersey, which just feels odd.
Colton: I’m with Scott; their failure to use their actual logo is what frustrates me about the jersey. So much potential, yet unrealized.
26. Minnesota Wild
Image alt text: Minnesota Wild player Kirill Kaprizov in their green and red home jersey, a natural color scheme for the Wild.
Mike: 16th
Scott: 27th
Colton: 25th
Scott: I will say, the Wild’s jerseys are very fitting. They are somewhat bland and forgettable, much like the team itself. It’s a solid look and at least unique, but I’m less enthusiastic about these jerseys, especially when versions with the North Stars’ colors exist.
Colton: Yes, switch to that North Stars color scheme, and we are in business, as the kids say these days.
Mike: I actually prefer Minnesota’s current colors, especially how the beige stripe behind the crest complements the forest green. I think it’s somewhat overdone for teams to revert to their old bright colors at the expense of more nuanced, modern looks. These jerseys serve their purpose adequately.
27. Columbus Blue Jackets
Image alt text: Columbus Blue Jackets player in their navy blue and red home jersey, a patriotic color scheme for Columbus.
Mike: 28th
Scott: 23rd
Colton: 27th
Colton: Columbus has a jersey where you don’t even need to know the city to recognize it’s a jersey straight out of Ohio. The navy, red, and white is just plain, and I feel they could do so much more with their available elements. The shoulder patch with the cannon is very cool, though; I agree on that.
Scott: It somehow manages to appear both interesting and boring simultaneously, I’ll give them that.
Mike: Ssssssssnore.
28. New Jersey Devils
Image alt text: New Jersey Devils player Jack Hughes in their red and black home jersey, a classic Devils color combination.
Mike: 27th
Scott: 26th
Colton: 28th
Mike: The Devils used to look significantly better on the ice than they do now. For some reason, they’ve persisted with their ill-advised Adidas-era rebrand that eliminated the waist stripe on their jerseys while awkwardly enlarging the ones on the arms. There’s a reason the Devils never experimented with their uniforms under Lou Lamoriello’s leadership: simply put, they weren’t broken. Now, they just look wrong.
Scott: It’s the shoulders for me. They just feel awkwardly truncated, and they’re the only team without a border around them.
29. Florida Panthers
Image alt text: Florida Panthers player Aleksander Barkov in their red and navy home jersey, a sleek and modern Panthers look.
Mike: 24th
Scott: 31st
Colton: 29th
Scott: Remember when I mentioned only three teams wore jerseys I actively disliked? This is one of them. It’s not that it’s objectively bad, but I cannot in good faith give them a good score when they use the bland logo that looks like it belongs in MLS. If they could incorporate the classic Panther logo into this color scheme, I’d be much more convinced by these jerseys.
Mike: I don’t know, Inter Miami wears far superior uniforms than these.
30. Winnipeg Jets
Image alt text: Winnipeg Jets player Mark Scheifele in their navy blue and white home jersey, a modern Jets design.
Mike: 25th
Scott: 30th
Colton: 31st
Colton: The Jets logo is far too similar to the RCAF (even if intentionally), so first, change that, and they’ll rank much higher on my list. Secondly, the jersey itself is quite uninspired. Even if they couldn’t use the old Jets logo and jerseys, they could have at least used a similar color scheme, right? The alternates with the throwback logo are perfect and what the home jerseys should emulate.
Scott: Everyone knows my stance on navy blue as a jersey color, so it’s predictable I would penalize the Jets for using it. The logo isn’t terrible, but the jerseys are simply uninteresting, especially considering the previous Jets team had such an iconic look.
Mike: I remember initially liking these a lot when they debuted, but they’re undeniably dated now. It’s funny how trends evolve: Winnipeg is the only team in the NHL still using italicized numbers on their home jerseys. Back in the early 2000s, it felt like half the league was doing that.
31. Carolina Hurricanes
Image alt text: Carolina Hurricanes player Sebastian Aho in their black and red home jersey, a Hurricanes modern look.
Mike: 30th
Scott: 28th
Colton: 30th
Mike: It was amusing to see the Hurricanes revive their 2006-era look as an alternate for a season, only to revert to their three usual jerseys—none of which are as good—immediately after. I don’t actively dislike Carolina’s black uniforms, but they functioned better as a third jersey. The Hurricanes should be a red team. I’ve always been a fan of their red jerseys—they’re the only ones in the league that almost appear pink, which I genuinely like as a primary color for a hockey team (see: the Calgary Hitmen). The black ones just resemble countless other black jerseys in the league.
Scott: There are certainly interesting details with the jersey that hold significance for Raleigh and North Carolina, but yes, the red jerseys with their actual logo are far superior.
Colton: I liked the throwback 2006-era jersey. I’m not a fan of the black home jersey. While I appreciate all the hidden details and significance that Scott pointed out, I think it’s a better alternate jersey.
32. Utah Hockey Club
Image alt text: A plain black Utah Hockey Club jersey with diagonal “Utah” text, a placeholder for their inaugural season.
Mike: 32nd
Scott: 32nd
Colton: 32nd
Note: The plain black jerseys Utah used at the 2024 NHL Draft are not quite the same as the ones they’ll wear in their inaugural season. Click here for a closer look at Utah’s inaugural uniforms.
Scott: Poor Utah didn’t have much to work with here, given they lack both a name and a logo currently, but this is essentially a college hockey jersey. I don’t mind the color scheme, and I’m curious to see what they develop when they establish a brand, but we can’t fairly rank them in the unknown.
Mike: It’s ironic that this franchise transitioned from possessing some of the league’s best jerseys to the worst, but that’s the consequence of relocating cities with almost no notice. I’m actually somewhat intrigued by the idea of them keeping the “Utah HC” name, but they desperately need a better jersey than this.
Scott: For the love of God, if they settle on Utah HC as their permanent name, I will actively root for their failure.
Colton: In one year, they will be top-five on our list, just wait and see.
