I'd say more dull than horrid for the bulk of them.

It's their best logo and best colour palette on a white jersey, which they've never done before. It's exactly what a reverse retro should be.

I think the Caps should be lower, and I think the lighting didn't do the Yotes jersey justice. That thing is a beauty, and finally a uniform that truly fits Arizona imo (Kachina are close, but not as good of a fit for the team/area)

What would have been your choice for the Preds? I'm glad they didn't go with navy here - save that for the next 3rd jersey. This isn't it for me though. One of my favourite details on the OG mustard tiger jersey was the unique collar. The Adidas collar looks awkward, and the Nashville wordmark under it looks tacked on now.

I would have liked to have seen a white version of this sweater, with yellow pants, gloves, and helmets. U of Minnesota wears something similar at times, and I think it looks fresh.

Panthers is #1 for me. I love it.

As a Ducks fan, I just find it weird that our reverse retros are basically the same as the current jerseys.

Detroit and Chicago look like they came from an old video game that didn't pay to get the NHL's rights.

most of the these are just awful.

Florida's looks like a minor league baseball team jersey who has a wacky beach palm tree theme
LA's isnt good.
The sharks 2? really? The jersey looks like someone made it in their basement. Their mom sewed it for them to have something to wear to the game.
TB's extra stuff on their jersey is just bad looking
Dallas looks like a green cape over a black shirt.
Bruins poop brown uni as 3rd. oof.

The rankings should be
Arizona,
gap
STL
big gap
then everyone else.

vegas, islanders, oilers, sharks, and some others are easily at the bottom for crappy logos or their jersey is just an abomination.

Always liked the Expos. It's a fun tribute.





Might have to bump the Flyers up a few spots, based on this info.

yeah, I was really hoping they would keep the unique collar and remove that Nashville wordmark on the chest with this one.

I never considered a white version of this-- just looked up the University of Minnesota uniforms, and I could definitely see a NSH uniform in that style. A super interesting option that would really pop on the ice. I would even consider that as a potential change to the away uniform if it looks good.

As far as a different RR design, I guess they could've gone with a white version of the blue/black checkered jersey (they made one, but it never saw the ice). It was rumored that was going to be our new home/away before they switched to "gold". I bet they'd probably end up doing it with yellow/gold or something instead of the black/blue though. I wonder if NSH could get away with a silver jersey with blue/yellow accents or something-- no clue what that would look like, but just spitballing.

Interesting though on a silver jersey. I'd never thought about that before.

I've always loved the old school shoulder crest you use in your profile pic. I wish they'd do something with that logo again sometime.

How could I forget that! lol yeah, I've always thought that could make a good logo. I'd dig a 3rd jersey with that logo.

NSH also has the skeleton tiger (but I've never been a big fan of it).

As far as other logos, I liked the walking tiger they used for the winter classic-- so maybe that could work (not sure how that shape would look on the chest though). Maybe the shoulder patch into a logo? Too soon for a RR with these logos though, maybe 3rd jersey.

NSH is long overdue for a 3rd jersey though-- wouldn't mind seeing a new design entirely for that.

Oilers and Coyotes are the best by far. Canucks are third
