Arizona Coyotes
Best:

Hopefully Arizona brings these back soon. The Kachina jerseys are so great, incorporating some of the NHL's least-used colours all together into designs that are way more cohesive than they have any right to be. The black Kachina is fantastic, and I love how it adds beige into the mix, but I think the logo stands out better against the white background. I also love the rounded number font.
Worst:
Worn 2007 to 2015
Yawwwwwn. These are so boring. The Coyotes inexplicably removed the waist stripe from the
previous version of this design when they moved over to Reebok Edge, and the result is a uniform that looks so incomplete that it could masquerade as a practice jersey. But the Coyotes also had their best season ever in this jersey, losing to the Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings in the 2012 West final. So, if the Flames ever want to make it back to the Cup final, I guess they need to ditch the yellow and black and just run with a Detroit Red Wings-style two-tone jersey. It worked for the Coyotes.

This isn't exactly an unexpected choice... but it's the right one. Not many NHL jerseys come adorned with a purple crescent moon and a field of cacti. Also, I just realized that the crest is just a decapitated version of the Kachina coyote, which is a little disturbing.
I think it's pretty likely that the Coyotes' "reverse retro" jersey is a purple version of this one.
