Ranking Uniforms: NHL Sweaters

Join me as I rank the top 5 uniforms in each sport! Our start: NHL Sweaters.

Look, I'm not gonna pretend that I know a ton about hockey. But boy do those sweaters look good out on the ice, and my expertise, much like that of the great Dave Dameshek, lies in determining which of these sweaters is the greatest. The words written below are fact, but feel free to complain them in the comments section!

Last Place: Minnesota Wild

Honorable Mention: Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks

5. New York Rangers

 

The most patriotic option available. All logos are great, home and away jerseys are equally majestic, and the navy alternates are not far behind. The stripes on the sleeves are timeless.
(Home>Away)

4. Boston Bruins



No logo much better than the iconic B on the Bruins jersey. Yellow and black unis often carry a classic feel. The jerseys bring you back to the days of the great Bobby Orr, but also align with the fierce and modern Chara-led defense.
(Away>Home)

3. Montreal Canadiens



Another solid logo for another Original 6 team, but the blue stripe behind the logo is what separates this sweater of the NHL franchise with the most Cups. Only Canadian club to crack the top 5.
(Away>Home)

2. Philadelphia Flyers


God do I hate this team, but the Flyers are the only non-Original 6 squad to make the Unofficially Official Top 5. The brutes from Broad Street pull off the orange and black like no other in sports, and that glorious logo is another timeless gem.
(Away>Home)

1. Chicago Blackhawks



This uniform also happens to be the best get-up in sports. The stripes at the bottom of the jersey both Home and Away are brilliant and bring the black, red, and white together seamlessly. A good look for the team that hoisted the cup two of the last four years.
(Home>Away)


Disagree in the comments, and join me next time for the Basketball ranks.
