The 2023-24 National Hockey League season is less than two months away and starting today, I’m going to be trying to put out at least one or two articles per week as we head into the new campaign on various different topics.
Throughout the next several weeks, I’ll be sharing my top-50 prospects list, as well as divisional season previews. Although the season begins overseas on October 7th, here in North America it gets underway on October 10th, so that night, before the puck drops, I’ll be sharing my predictions for the year.
Today, I wanted to do something a bit on the lighter side and something I enjoy talking about – jerseys, which is a topic I’ve touched on before on this site, mainly in regards to the Reverse Retro program.
Instead of talking about jerseys I enjoy, I wanted to change things up and share one uniform from each of the 32 franchises that I think are the worst. Even though neither team has an extensive uniform catalogue, I will be including the Vegas Golden Knights and Seattle Kraken.
Before sharing, the images below I got from NHLuniforms.com. They are one of the best sites out there in terms of information and images of uniforms from current and defunct NHL franchises, including jerseys dating back to 1917. Definitely go check out their site if you’re interested!
Now, let’s start things off with the Anaheim Ducks and concluding with the Winnipeg Jets.
