Stars looks like they didn't get it finished in time, before the assignment was due. Isles is boring, because they didn't really change anything. Not as offensively bad as some of the others though. What a wasted opportunity, not using the fisherman. These are only going to be used for one season. Why not go bold, and see what the reception is like?

I wanted the fisherman or an orange jersey. Couldve done both. That would have been awesome.

I think your bottom 5 is spot on.

MTL is just a little too bland for me to put them no. 1, more of the middle of the pack for me.

I'd say NJD, LAK, and FLA would be my top 3. I appreciate what CAR and COL did as well, but I just don't see them as the Whalers/Nordiques so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If MIN used their "M" logo instead I would put them up there as well -- I love that yellow/green combination though.

I also do love the absurdity of ARI - just such a wild jersey.

The only reason Stars didnt finish dead last is because the Red Wings and Islanders didnt participate.

I think the Habs went with the only viable option, while adhering to the reverse theme. It works for me. The sleeve numbers on the Kings jerseys don't look right to me. I would have put them above the arm stripes. I also wish they used the original blueish purple from the 60s, and not the lighter Lakers purple they switched to later. I agree about Minnesota using the M logo, but wish they incorporated a small touch of black, like the North Stars did in the 90s. The Coyotes ones look like roller hockey jerseys to me, but the purple works better than the original green. I was originally a Jets fan back in the day, and detested everything about Coyotes after they relocated, so I might still be biased against them though.

Like the colour printer ran out of ink before it finished printing. I would have loved it if they went with the navy blue Thrashers ones, but used the current Jets colours, and replaced the bird logo with a jet. They seem dead set against ever acknowledging their Atlanta history for some reason though.

It was always kind of an ugly mutt of a logo, but I see why people like it. It bugs me because they didn't try to reverse anything, which is the point of these. The original Blasty jersey was black, so why are these ones?

I'd have Winnipeg as one of my top. The Grey with navy looks clean.

Montreal doesn't look much different than any of their other jerseys. I'd put them in the middle.

Cannot stand the devils ugly Christmas sweater jerseys..

Love the arizona jersey.

Well, we all have different tastes. Any thoughts on your Blackhawks? To me they're just fine. The striping on their originals has always been so good, and I miss that aspect.

I wouldn't say it's top 5, too much like the original. It's still a solid jersey just there are more unique ones

I love the hawks one. The retro logo is awesome. I wish they went with more striping like the barber pole striping but I like it. I don't get why they're so afraid of showing the logo off. If anything it just makes people talk about the logo more than they would have.
