These are clean, simple, and beautiful. I love the shade of red that the Hurricanes chose to use when they relocated. I like the white uniform they debuted with more than the red one because it allows the shoulder patch to stand out more. I also enjoy the italic numerical font the Canes chose and I didn't like when they abandoned it.

Worst:



Worn 2013 to 2017

I actually liked these when they came out. I'm not sure why; they're almost entirely devoid of personality. Change the logo to a maple leaf and you'd have a perfectly serviceable Team Canada uniform. But "Hurricanes" is way too descriptive a name to be paired with such a boring jersey.

Weirdest:



Worn 2019 to present

I don't hate these at all, but they're just a little strange. These are the "Tom Dundon jersey" — he reportedly despised the Canes' previous white jersey to the point where they often wore their red one on the road.

So, Carolina came out with a New York Rangers-inspired design, an odd approach to begin with. But then there are the helmet decals:



I mean, they're cool. But they're also strange.
I love jerseys too man. Collected them as a kid. I like that Hurricanes helmet logo... I wonder if you switched out the word Canes for that red / black simplified helmet logo I bet that white sweater would be sweet. Other thing is I like Carolinas unique striping of the hurricane warning flag pattern... it’s unique to them and they should never abandon it, looks sweet. Agree with your ranking here.

As for Buffalo, I think the jerseys they just came out with are the best by far. I hope their socks are the 3 stripe pattern they used to have adopted by Blackfoot in Calgary minor hockey, again unique to them.
