The thing I hate is that teams that have unique things to their team, they go and change them to something generic.
The Coyotes jerseys were very different and it was cool because it was so unusual.
The Hurricanes with their hurricane warning flag thing on their jerseys.
The Canucks with Black Orange and Yellow - now typical blue
The original Avs jerseys were awesome, now they're bland
The Kings Purple and Gold were ugly as all hell but they were unique. Black and Silver isn't exciting (although it's better than what they had immediately prior)
The Stars with the star pattern on the jersey = awesome. Now it's bland.
The Wild's original green jerseys. Now they're plain.
The Ducks being purple and green. Now black like the Sharks.
The Sharks having awesome teal jerseys. Now black with teal accents.
Even New Jersey being Red and Green was good because it was an homage to the heavy Italian population in NJ.
At least the Oilers actually did something right and returned to their unique style
I like watching hockey and being instantly able to tell exactly who is playing without having to look. With so many teams using the exact same colour/design schemes, it just sucks.
