Canucks Jersey's Ranked 17th among teams

I think the Minnesota logo is clever, but I've never liked the overall look of the sweater, especially the green ones. Maybe I'd appreciate it more if it had some snow-capped accents. I don't know.

1. Montreal

2. Chicago

3. Boston

It's hard to separate the love for the sweater from the nostalgia of the great players who have worn it. If the 80s Oilers had never been champs, I'd probably have them at the bottom, but instead they're probably #10 or so for me.

Vancouver is middle of the pack. I'm glad they finally ditched the red striping (late 90s stuff). The roads are a little dull, because all you notice is the terrible 'Vancouver' wording and the corporate logo.

On a related note, my team is debuting brand new sweaters tonight. I think they are awesome. B)

Not sure on the order but I would agree all of those should be in the top 10 except for one: the Rangers. Always thought the font, colour combo looked too busy. The diagonal "Rangers" text looks weaksauce too. One thing I hate about newer jerseys is when they try to make the logo "Super Awesome!" by making the graphic over complicated. The Sens and Pens looked way better before their logo got jazzed up. PHX, NSH, MIN (and the Thrashers) logos are all garbage and overdone. Buffalo at least noticed the new logo looked like crap and reverted back. The only teams that have done well with complicated logos are Florida and Colorado IMO. I'd stick Colorado in that Rangers spot, also because I think the maroon/grey combo looks slick but still different.

What makes a jersey great? The fact that the team hasnt changed it for many years? Really? Rangers are boring and so are other teams. The only thing good about them is the fact that they have remained untouched for the most part. But the logo's and colors are kinda bring. My list

1) Vancouver yes Im a homer but my criteria includes color and logo themes.

2) Chicago

3) Boston

4) Philly

5) Pittsburgh

6) St. Louis

7) New Jersey

8) San Jose

9) Detroit

10) Montreal

Free Willy, the beloved Orca whale that is on our teams jersey, was ranked the 17th best jersey in the NHL. The number one spot went to the Montreal Canadiens and rightfully so. It’s clean, crisp and has history and tradition behind it. On the other hand, our logo and uniforms seems to go through an identity crisis every five years. There is even talk of bringing in the Vancouver Millionaires jersey as a future third jersey.

Free Willy! The problem here isn’t the Orca logo, which has actually developed a little bit of gravitas after 15 years (can you believe it’s been that long?). The problem is the city name, which doesn’t belong on the jersey and needs to go.

The top NHL jersey’s according to ESPN:

  • Montreal Canadiens

  • Boston Bruins

  • New York Rangers

  • Detroit Redwings

  • Philadelphia Flyers

  • Toronto Maple Leafs

  • Pittsburgh Penguins

  • Minnesota Wild

  • Columbus Blue Jackets

  • New Jersey Devils

With that being said, what would you do to modify our jersey's?

Who would be your top 10?

the blue green and white colour combo on all 3 of our jerseys look so good. I'd rank the Canucks in the top 10 best jerseys in the NHL, but i disagree with CBJ in the top 10 (way too high, those jerseys are awful) and LA at 28 (way too low); LA's new black and white scheme is actually gorgeous together. On a side note, the new Tampa Bay Lightning and Edmonton Oiler throwback jerseys look fantastic as well.

Any discussion about the top jerseys in the NHL has to involve Chicago in the top 3-5 at least. You guys may not like the team but there is a long term history with our jersey and it's truly one of the best in all of sports.

I would also disagree with the low placement of the Canucks jersey. Their colour scheme is one of my favourite in the NHL, and while my preference is the 'stink-in-rink' logo the 'orca-C' is pretty solid too. There's absolutely no way the Canucks jersey can be ranked below Minnesota and Columbus, those are two terrible jerseys.

My top 10 jerseys would be:

1. Chicago

2. Vancouver

3. Boston

4. Montreal

5. Philly

6. Colorado

7. Winnipeg

8. LA

9. Edmonton

10. St. Louis

Is nobody else infuriated by the incorrect apostrophe usage?! Haha...I'm kidding....kinda....

I really like our jerseys. Grew up with the skate, was both confused and intrigued by the orca and associate some good times with our current ones. Colours really match our beautiful city and I don't mind the "VANCOUVER" at all.
