The reverse retros this year have been a hot topic for a while now and I needed to take some time and rank all of these fairly, especially after seeing them on the ice. Unfortunately, I believe my list is extremely bias, so please don't take offense if your team just sucks. This ranking will be by most favorite to least favorite. Here it is.
Buffalo Sabres. I can't really explain it. The logo is clean and the simplicity of it is extremely satisfying to me.
Boston Bruins. Same as the Sabres, I just prefer the Buffalo colors more.
New Jersey. Probably controversial but the bright colors and the concept is really cool. grows on me everyday.
Edmenton Oilers. The logo is awesome aswell, the dark and bright orange go together.
Nashville Predators. The yellow is iconic, the logo they have should be their usual logo.
Philadelphia Flyers. Though I'm not the biggest fan of the sleeves, it has the simplicity I like. Lame to use your usual logo.
Washington Capitals. The eagle and colors are great, but the design on the sleeves and bottom of the jersey kill it.
Winnipeg Jets. This jersey is definitely retro and that is a good thing. The rest of it is a bit lame.
San Jose Sharks. Very 80/90s concept. Could either be really good or really bad at times. Also that font size seems a tad small.
Arizona Coyotes. I've always been a big fan of arizona's concepts for alternative/RR jerseys. Same with this one, just doesn't stick out to me.
Minnesota Wild. Nothing wrong with it. Reminds me a lot of their home jersey besides the white. Someone told me it gave them "Subway" vibes and now i can't unsee it.
Anahiem Ducks. Huge mighty ducks vibes, not sure what the inspiration was behind it but if it isn't to honor that trilogy, it should be this low or even lower.
St. Louis Blues. The random music note in the middle makes me think a kid drew this up.
New York Rangers. I honestly hate to have this team this high. The logo is absolutely awesome, other than that it's their usual colors.
New York Islanders. Same as with the Rangers, the lines just bumped them down.
Dallas Stars. This us definitely retro, just boring.
Toronto Maple Leafs. There is absolutely nothing that sticks out to me about this jersey. If I didn't know any better I would think it's their home jersey.
Vegas Golden Knights. They had the room to make more of a creative concept than "Vegas" across the jersey considering the kind of city it is. That's it.
Seattle Kraken. Feels like they didn't try. Just added more random lines that give me a headache.
Ottowa Senators. Exactly same thoughts as Toronto. Feels like a last minute design.
Los Angeles. Not bad but it's just not personally my favorite at all.
Columbus Blue Jackets. Don't understand teams making their RR looking like the home jersey's but here we are!
Carolina Hurricanes. The straps at the ends of the jersey are the ugliest things I've ever seen in my life.
Calgary Flames. So much potential with the color palette yet such a random and ugly design.
Florida Panthers. The blue is just not supposed to be there and that's why it's that low. Logo deserves some recognition though.
Vancouver Canucks. This is definitely controversial. I don't like the little man in the center and the strap placing is just lame.
Tampa Bay Lightning. Quite honestly, surprised this isn't last, but there is worse. There is just so much going on it hurts my head. Tampa knows to do better.
Pittsburgh Penguins. It's fine. The penguin is ugly though.
Colorado Avalanche. No. Just awful.
Montreal Canadiens. Again with the blues. Absolutely awful. Don't do it again.
Detroit Red Wings. Looks like a sweater made the day before. Ugly and boring.
Chicago Blackhawks. Same idea as Detroit. It's just way worse.
Hopefully this list DOES cause chaos. I stand by my standings. Let us know what your standings are! Favorite and least favorite?
