Fans will have the opportunity to share their favorites on social media, and can join in the conversation using the hashtag #NHLGreatestUniforms. Some of the iconic uniforms featured as part of Greatest NHL Uniforms include: Boston Bruins, 1926-32 - The white uniform with brown and gold stripes, and the logo featuring a brown bear walking below the team name was worn through the end of the 1931-32 season. Chicago Blackhawks, 1956-59 - For the first time since the mid-1930's, the Blackhawks updated their uniforms, with red as the main jersey color, striping at the waist and around each sleeve. The Blackhawks wore the white version of this sweater at the 2017 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic®. California Golden Seals, 1974-76 - The California Golden Seals entered the 1974-75 season with a brand new color scheme and uniform design. Gold remained, but kelly green was replaced with teal -- a color never before seen in the NHL. Vancouver Canucks 1978-85 - The new gold, black and red uniforms with a giant "V" on the front replaced the blue and green uniforms featuring a hockey stick across the chest. The Canucks made their first Stanley Cup® Final appearance wearing this uniform in 1980-81. Hartford Whalers 1979-92 - When the New England Whalers joined the NHL from the World Hockey Association in 1979, they adopted the Hartford name, and changed their logo to a blue "W" with a green whale tail at the top, which was featured on the front of the green and blue uniforms. San Jose Sharks 1991-98 - The Sharks made a splash when they joined the NHL as an expansion team in the 1991-92 season, with teal uniforms (a color that hadn't been part of an NHL jersey since the California Golden Seals moved to Cleveland in 1976). San Jose's uniforms featured teal, black, and silver stripes, a shark fin on each shoulder and a shark swimming through a triangle chomping down on a hockey stick on the front. Vegas Golden Knights 2017-18 -The NHL's first expansion team in 17 years chose the name Golden Knights, and introduced a new uniform color to the NHL: steel grey jerseys and black sleeves trimmed with black, gold, and red. The logo features a knight's helmet in gold and grey on a black shield trimmed in gold; the eye holes of the mask designed to form a "V" for Vegas. Greatest NHL Uniforms selection process features NHL uniforms going head to head, with fans selecting their favorite. A leaderboard on the site will keep fans up-to-date on the voting results throughout the next five weeks. My fav. all time has to be the Canucks skate jersey followed by the Whalers 90's jerseys and the Blackhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I guess I'm in the minority. I voted for the losing jersey in like 70% of the votes. My fav is the Stick in Rink Canucks jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCKER67 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Blackhawks always wins these polls. That is, until they'll no longer be able to use that image and name, but for now... Love the Canucks "skate" jerseys best. Also liked the Hartford Whalers and Minnesota North Stars. Remember the Philadelphia Flyers full pant Cooperalls? (lol) They looked like dress pants.

The Blackhawks logo is based on a very specific individual so I don't know that their jersey will change for that reason, especially since its honoring that person.

Zhukini Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd vote for the Blackhawks jerseys first. The Forsberg/Sakic era Avs jerseys after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6string Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The Canucks original stick/rink and the 94 era are my faves, this current left over from the McCaw era has never settled with me at all but at least they did go back to the green and blue colour scheme. The NHL best would be the Hartford Whalers and any of the original six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackhawks are also the #1 donator to Native American charities in Illinois, and also paid the have the Chief Blackhawks monument in Oregon, Illinois to be completely restored. I agree, I just don't see the logo changing for the "insensitive to Native Americans" reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
