Best Throwback Sweaters---Hockey division

Tiger Williams, Canucks 1982

God, these were awful

 

Love the mask

 

LOVE that Whalers sweater

 

The first two were awful. Nordiques and North Stars rule.

 

Came in the mail yesterday...




The one I really want...

 

Hockey has the best unis in sports and the Original Six are unsurpassed for killer stylo.

Black Hawks: (yes, two words back then) 1960s-era sweaters were the best.
Canadiens: the current version is as good as any in Habs history.
Leafs: I like the 1950s-1960s baroque leaf logo.
Broonz: Interesting variations over the years, including a "collegiate" no-logo, giant numerals look for a while back during the Kraut Line days. My favorite is actually the 1980s gear, with the old "B" logo and the angry bear shoulder patches.
Wings: See Montreal. A classic look at its finest right now.
Rangers: Don't know as much about NYR uni changes so I won't choose an era but great look: subtle but distinctive trim on pants, 3-D letters and numerals...very cool.

 

Whalers from the WHA:

​

 

Absolutely my sentimental favorite. I grew up a huge Kings fan and was crushed when they ditched those jerseys for the silver and black gang banger special with the Chevy logo on the front.

 

Charlie Simmer wept.

 

Quebec Aces


People have mentioned the Bruins, but I've always been particular to the 1974 style with the white patch on the upper chest:


Minnesota Fighting Saints:


Trivia: This is the last team of the four major professional sports to fold:


Barzell, good job showing the Dave Keon jersey with the "Pucky the Whale" shoulder patch.
