Best Throwback Sweaters---Hockey division

Other than that horrible Mars 2112 restaurant in midtown NYC, find the reference oblique.

 

Caps really did a great job with their unis and graphics. They went from having the NHL's worst gear to being one of the best.

Post-Expansion NHL Uni Hall of Fail
10. Infamous Canucks "V"
9. Original Phoenix Coyotes multicolor Carlos Casteneda jersey
8. St. Louis Blues jerseys with big red triangle at bottom- Cardinals tribute?
7. Atlanta Thrashers, in general
6. Ottawa's cartoon Trojan Man- ridiculous and vaguely gay
5. Violet and Jade Mighty Duck monstrosities- those colors look better in a yoga studio
4. Bad thirds- Boston Winnie the Pooh, LA King Vitamin, Dallas Disco Bull, Anaheim Howard the Duck, Nashville Mustard Cat, etc.
3. Buffalo's Banana Slug- WTF
2. Cap'n Fishsticks. ARRRR, time for a nice drive up to Sag Harbor, aye!
1. Hartford and Philly long pants experiment

 

Nice to see some love for the ol' Atlanta Flames.

I also love the fact the letter A that the Calgary Flames' alternate captains wear are shaped like the Atlanta logo.

 

Oh, I don't know. I kind of like the Thrashers Carolina blue sweaters, though I hate the asymmetrical sleeves.

The rest of you list looks pretty accurate, especially Nos. 1 and 2. Don't know what the Whale and the Fly Guys were thinking back in the 80s, and I'm guessing the Fishsticks had an endorsement deal with Gorton ze Gloucester.

 

Had it not been for Mike Keenan refusing to let his players wear this monstrosity, the 1996 Blues' third jersey would be on this list.

 

That Blues one has to be better than this:

 

Actually, it was teal and eggplant, but I agree with your sentiments.

 

What the fuck is that?

 

Throwbacks in hockey aren't worth it unless they toss out the helmets.

 

LA Kings' "King Vitamin" or "Burger King" alternates.

 

COOPERALLS!!!



Another fashion travesty of the 70's.

You still see the odd guy in a beer league game playing with these on. '

 

I ownz one a dose.
