All time best NHL jerseys of the current NHL teams

Here is what I believe to be the best jerseys of all time of each team in the NHL right now.

Anaheim Ducks

2007-10

 I was not a fan of the jerseys when they were called the Mighty Ducks. When they changed their name to the ducks they also changed there jersey and logo. I like the color scheme alot. 


Boston Bruins

1981-95
 
 When I first got into hockey I followed the Bruins and this was the jersey that they wore. With the new ones they changed it too much for my liking. I really wish they would go back to this jersey.
 
Buffalo Sabres
 
1987-96
 
After the 95-96 season the Sabres went with a very radical design that was just horrible . And then the went back to their original colors but went with another logo. They finally went back to there original logo and color scheme in somewhat in 2010. The Sabres jersey of this era is one of my top 10 of all time.

Calgary Flames

2007-09
 
 I like the how the home jerseys have the black c and the one on the away jerseys are red. The black goes very good with the red on the home jerseys. 

Carolina Hurricanes

2008-present

 
The Hurricanes jersey have not seen much change since the team move to Carolina from Hartford. I really miss the Whalers. They had some really awesome uniforms.  

Chicago Blackhawks

2011-present
 

 A great classic Original 6 team jersey. With most of the Original 6 teams the Blackhawks jersey has changed very little over their history.

Colorado Avalanche

2009-present
 
I like with the Avalanche logo it looks like a puck going down a mountain like an avalanche. Also with the color scheme it has a very cold weather look to it. 
  
 
Columbus Blue Jackets

2010-present
 
 
Not a big fan of the third jersey but I do like the home and away jerseys. Very American-like.

Dallas Stars

1995-97

I like how they keep pretty much the same look of the Old North Stars when they moved down to Dallas. 
 

Detroit Red Wings

1986-2007
 
The Red Wings jersey has a very little change to it and I think it should stay that way. Its just a perfect jersey. 
 

Edmonton Oilers

1981-94

 This was the jersey that the Oilers wore when they were an offensive machine and won their 5 Stanley Cups. For the 2013 season the Oliers went back to this look which I am very glad that they did. It's such a great jersey.  

Florida Panthers

1993-98

 The jersey that the Panthers started off with and is still my favorite of theirs. They went back to the red for the 2011-12 but its still not the same design as this one. This first jersey I had ever own was the home white of this era. I wore it until the Panther fell off. 

Los Angeles Kings

1988-91

With a new era with the Great One on board the Kings got rid of the yellow and purple and went with the black and white. The Kings would go back to using purple again in the 1998-99 but finally retired it this season.

Minnesota Wild

2000-03


 With the state of Minnesota getting a second chance of an NHL team they went with a more forest like look. When I went to Minnesota for vacation in 2001 I bought this jersey. If you look closely you can see what looks like a bear head in the logo. 
 

Montreal Canadiens

2007-present



Another Original Six team and another jersey that has had very little change from when the team first came out. 

Nashville Predators

2007-09



Of the newer teams in the league the Predators have changed there jersey the most. The came out with one of the worst 3rd jersey's of all time in the early 2000's. It was this gross mustard color. Just horrible. There new jersey a dark yellow then that is on this jersey but it still does not beat this one. I would one day love to own one of these. 

New Jersey Devils

2007-present



This is another one of my favorite jerseys. Love the black, white, and red color scheme. Such a great jersey. 

New York Islanders

2011-present



I am very happy that the Islanders went back to the original jersey colors and style. They have made some really stupid jersey moves in the past. In the late 90's they went with a Gordon Fisherman logo with teal in it and then for the 98 season till 2010 they went with a dark blue. I am not a fan of the black in the 3rd jersey. All the new york teams seem to be going that way and I really hope that the Islanders just stay with the blue, white, and orange

New York Rangers

2007-10

I really love how the Rangers jersey has the tie-down collar. Its really cool look on the jersey. The Rangers are only a handful of teams that use it.




Ottawa Senators

1995-97

I like the logo of the Senators when the senator was facing the way it is in this jersey not how it is now. It has a much cooler look. 

Philadelphia Flyers

1972-77

This is the jersey that the Broad Street Bullies wore during their Stanley Cup runs. To me the Flyers jersey has always had that menacing look to it. 

Phoenix Coyotes

2003-07



This is another one of my favorite jerseys. Love the brick red colors with the white. When I was in Vegas on my honeymoon in 2003 I bought this jersey. Just love it. 

Pittsburgh Penguins

1997-2000

I know alot of people were not a fan of these jerseys but I loved them. I love the logo of this era in Penguins history as well. 

St. Louis Blues

1992-94

With the new jersey there is very little yellow and they went with a lighter blue. It just doesn't have that great of a look as this jersey does. I hope they can go back to this look in the future. 

San Jose Sharks

2008-present

The Sharks jersey has pretty much stayed the same since they came into the league. Its one of my favorite jerseys out there. I would like to own on of these as well. They third jersey is pretty cool as well. 

Tampa Bay Lightning

2013-present



The Lightning made a great decision with going this route with the jerseys and logo.
The logo is so much better made and I like how blue is now the dominant color over the black. Very good move by the Lightning. 


Toronto Maple Leafs

2011-present


I like the simple design of the Maple Leafs jerseys. The blue and white go great with the Leafs logo. With their third jersey they went old school with the logo they had during the 1967-70 seasons.

Vancouver Canucks

1989-92


 The Canucks have had a few really awful jerseys in there time. Of the jerseys they put out this is my favorite. I like how the skates blade spells out canucks. And the colors are a good choice. I do like what they have done with their new jerseys too. 

Washington Capitals

1987-95

The Capitals have had some dramatic changes to their uniform through the years but this one is my favorite. I really like how they went back to this look for their third jersey in 2011-12 season. 

Winnipeg Jets

 
Seeing as this is the only jersey the current Jets have had cant really choose my favorite by them. I wish they went to what they had when the first Jets were in Winnipeg.  




Bonus Jerseys

Hartford Whalers

1992-97



I really wish the Whalers were still around. I would have loved to go see a game of theirs. Another jersey I would love to own.  

Winnipeg Jets

1990-96



I would love to own this jersey. It's a very great design. I really hope that the new Jets change it to this in someway or at least have a third jersey like it.  



Well that's it. I hope you like it. Thank you for your time everyone. 
And GO PANTHERS!!!!!!!
