Interesting that the Hurricanes have added the black stripes and storm flag pattern back into their jerseys.
They dropped a lot of those extra detail when they redesigned in 2013, went with a basic red/white combo that matched the trend in the NHL at time of simpler lines/color pallets. Tampa Bay also went pretty "retro" around the same time, but seems Tampa is sticking with it.

My friend.
Let me explain to you with one photo.
The grey 'pit stains' (and horrible piping). Gone forever.

Where do the Flames now rank on worst jerseys in the league? The ones I can think of that are worse:
-I have never liked Anaheim's black, gold, and orange colour scheme.
-Nothing wrong with the Vancouver jersey however having the city name is stupid and their logo is nothing special.
-I hate the Oilers and everything about them. That said if you are a fan of orange there is nothing wrong with them.
-I am currently not a huge fan of the Vegas jerseys or the New Jersey changes. These may grow on my however.
So from that 6th worst in the league. Great job Flames!

Especially since they did it only around the arms and not the waist.

The pit stains have always made me laugh. Seriously, how did no one take one look at those and send Reebok back to the drawing board?

Should have gone with Hookers and Blow.

I've always felt Ottawa's standard jerseys were the bottom of the rung from a design perspective. With the Penguins pre-2016 threads being just about as bad.

Vegas jerseys look like the incarnation of the inside of the Excalibur Casino
- Patterned gold sparkly fabric? Check
- Terrible crushed velvet red? Check
- Knight's heads? Check
- Odd patches of random colors for no reason (purple in this case)? Check
I imagine it comes smelling like an ashtray as well

How did I forget about Ottawa! Yep a bad design and bad logo. Definitely worse than the Flames.

Nashville's are bad and seems like all their fans on Reddit agree
I hope Vegas wears shiny gold helmets

I think the changes to most of the jerseys are pretty underwhelming/minimal. Though, I think Carolina and Minnesota ended up looking pretty slick.

I really like what Carolina did. A good move to distance themselves from looking like they literally just stole Team Canada's uniform.
Colorado going back to close to their original is better, but the silver striping I think was black and white on the original, and looks worse this way.
Minnesota might have the best uniform in the NHL now.
Buffalo needs to ditch the silver otherwise pretty sweet.
Ottawa needs to go back to their original black sweater they broke out in the league with and that same original logo. Not sure why they love front facing sen guy so much, but it's hideous.
New Jersey had a classic feel for years so not sure why they decided to promptly throw 25 years of history in the garbage.

See, here is another reaction that I don't get. At first reveal I thought Nashville's were among the better new ones. I think the general response around the League has more to do with the volatile mix of fan enthusiasm, summer boredom and faceless internet aggression than anything else.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... the Wild simply have the best design sense in the league when it comes to their uniforms.
They've got a color combination that could easily end up looking like a Christmas tree... yet they've consistently put out some of the best uniforms for a non-original six club.

I'm surprised how many people are ok with the Oilers' eyesores. I'll admit I've liked some of their past unis (I'm just a fan of orange/blue in general), but those are gross.
It's not even me hating a predominantly orange jersey either, I LOVE the Tennessee Volunteers football unis, it's a nice lighter orange. But the Oilers orange is just so invasive to the retina, it's a nice secondary shade but should not be a primary. Not a fan at all, they're gaudy

Those Vegas jerseys look like something a 14 year old would create for his EA Sports Hockey League team in NHL17.

Was hesitant about the Wild's big beige bar when I first heard about it but it actually works beautifully. Did not expect that. Top 5 set in the league now for the wrist hackers.
Vegas has a nice color scheme but the execution isn't quite right.
Do not understand the love for Colorado.
And I actually love the Devils. It looks awful not being modeled by a player (pajamas-esque) but that pic with Hall modeling it, it actually quite works IMO.
