just wanted to pay my respects to detroit fans, your white jersey is iconic and one of the best in the NHL. - me a habs fan owning said jersey for over 30 yrs
I will never understand how a team chose to name itself erroneously as a Jacket! One of the DUMBEST names in all of professional sports. Let's be honest the two finalist names "Justice" and "Blue Jackets" are just laughable back. "BLUE Jackets" are Navy sailors. There is no ocean anywhere near Columbus. The idea Union soldiers from Ohio were called Blue Jackets is erroneous. Sooooooooo BAD. But hey, it's bad , but it AINT the "Wild" so........
"WILD" .....is the WORST team name in all major North American team sports. Soooooooo bad And sooooooooooooo dumb. Your team is named after an adjective!!! 😂
This video inspired me to check the Kraken team store, and I was shocked to see that they're selling Adidas made in Canada jerseys. Priced out of my budget at $450. Guessing they're moving ones that the team didn't use on the ice this season. So collectors might want to start checking other team stores for made in Canada jerseys.
that gold nashville jersey would be easy to fix with a solid blue horizontal stripe under the logo. that gold sparkly vegas jersey looks like something my grandma would've worn.
As a Hurricanes fan, I still like the red jerseys the best. I'm not really a fan of the white jerseys, I wished they would just rotate between the red and black ones.
Bottom line, have to ditch the "CANES" jersey. Just like the "Bolts" and super cringe "Smashville" Having a nickname...for your nickname...is beyond DUMB.
there's so much potential just all jumbled. I feel like if we made the red our main jersey, swapped the flag and word mark jerseys and changed the word mark to say "carolina" instead of "canes" it could be much better
Was listening to Locked on Kings the other day and it sounds like a change back to the Gretzky era look for the Kings is imminent. That third they have being their road and then a black version of it being home, I’m pretty stoked for it if the rumors are true!
Like Shannon, I would prefer to enlarge the current crown and get rid of the big “LA” and the shield. Also, I was never a big fan of the Gretzky-era look. Again, the crown is too small and the words are too large. Also, I liked the blue-purple color they had for a while in the early 2000’s (not the original purple, however). Finally, the current crown is the one to keep. It represents a king’s crown since it’s pointed. The original rounded 1960-1970’s crown (which looks like the old Imperial margarine crown) is a QUEEN’S crown!!
Seriously, that logo and mascot going away is a loss for the league, in spite of all the awful business and personnel decisions over the years. When the Arizona Diamondbacks got rid of their old purple and turquoise look, the Yotes were the one team there really holding down the local/indigenous art and aesthetic, going to miss it.
Even as a Wings fan I kinda agree with you on our home jersey. However, all it needs is a white neckline and the bottom stripe to be lifted and it’s as perfect as the away jersey
Spot on with my Flyers. The logo (rightfully) never changes and you can only do so much with orange, black & white. Still…they’ve managed to keep it simple enough to not be considered silly or over-the -top. Great video, Shannon. You’re truly a man of the fans.👍🏻❤️
Blues fan since ‘68. Shannon, it’s interesting that you noted the darker blue for the shoulder yoke on the home jersey. Note that on the home jersey Blue Note (Note on the Note, ha) it, too, is a darker shade of blue than on the white jersey. I assume they did it this way to create a bit of contrast compared to the base color which is a lighter, royal blue. In our original jerseys from 1967, the blue was the exact same color throughout and was a lighter shade. (My Crayola 64 crayon box when I was a kid called that “Cornflower Blue”.) I also agree, Shannon, that the current kit is the best. However, the original Blue Note is slimmer and conveys faster motion. So if I were to modify the jersey, I’d take the original Blue Note style, give it the current colors and tack it onto the current jersey.
I think they achieved perfection with the home white jersey in '97!! (Which is the same as the road white jersey now - pretty much. I do like the St. Louis flag collar on the inside.)
@@edwardofgreene Hi Ed O'Greene! I definitely agree with you. I have the current road white in my collection, which as you say is pretty much the same as the home white from the late '90's. I was really glad when they introduced those jerseys in '97, then they screwed them up temporarily with the Reebok (or was it Adidas) ones with the curved yoke. BTW, speaking of the flag collar, my second favorite photo is the one of Maroon and Bishop in the handshake line after the Blues won their 2019 series against the Stars. It shows them handshaking with one of the cheerleaders skating behind them with the City of St. Louis flag. For those of you who don't know, both Maroon and Bishop are from St. Louis. As a hockey-mad teenager in the late '60's playing street and roller hockey when the Blues were brand new, it's gratifying to see so many guys from the STL area now in the NHL.
I just picked up the last white jersey the Yotes used with the howling coyote logo-the one with white, red and black. That’s honestly my favorite away jersey, even more than the kachina. The kachina’s my favorite home jersey though.
It's only been 9 years since the last cup. Not that long ago. Rangers were looking to break a 30 year drought, Edmonton is at 34 years, and Florida is never.
Ducks are actually my favourite home and away. Love the colours and striping. If the logo was the one on their reverse retro 2.0 it would be even better.
Don't know if youve already done this but itd be cool if you made a video choosing new home/away jerseysfor every team, but can pick any alternate/rare jersey you want. love the vids keep it up
I always enjoy your jersey videos, Shannon! You've got a great collection. How about a ranking video of obscure jerseys in your collection. Interpret the word obscure as you wish.
Hey I was looking at your jerseys and I couldn't notice any patterns in the organizations of the Jerseys, which made me want to ask how do your organize them in a way that makes it easier too find specific Jerseys
I agree with Shannon. Quite a few of these kits look better in road white than home dark. To me one reason is because the logo stands out better with white as a background. Anaheim, Detroit, St. Louis, Tampa, Carolina’s circular swirl, Nashville, and Seattle’s logos look better on white. The prime exception is Chicago’s Blackhawk head. It looks far better on the red background!
Well at least SPOILER were on top of one power ranking this season. Best jersey in sports and fun video. Love these and now I’m looking to expand my own collection
Another great video! Shannon, where do you get a blank white Sabres jersey from? They're impossible to find, short of probably going to the arena team shop
The red home Hawks jersey is the single greatest jersey ever made, in any sport. Now, I am a Hawks fan so there is certainly some bias at play, but it just can't be beat. I love the Rangers jerseys, the Kachina, Detroit is great even if there is just a little too much red, Minnesota is awesome...but that Hawks jersey is just iconic and reminds me of home
I'm a Caps fan, and I think they have the best shade of red in the NHL. They look so good on TV and in person. I don't think I'm biased here, I remember when I first started playing hockey when I was super young and I thought about how lucky I am to have red as my favorite color and my hockey team has the best shade of it compared to the other teams.
I need three prime green jerseys to have all 32 teams away jerseys in prime Green, but I can’t find Los Angeles, Anaheim or Nashville, can’t find them anywhere in prime green. Sports K had the Vegas away jerseys but just have size 56 left now.
From an outside perspective, this is the correct take with Detroit. Their white jersey is incredible. Top 5 in the league. Their home jersey, however, it needs something to break up all that red. Inverting the white jersey would make their look so much better
Actually i am surprised about the Islanders. I dig their white jerseys. Blue and Orange are a solid colour combo imo. I love the Avs colours too. I wish they would use a lighter blue though. Baby blue and burgundy is an awesome colour combo imho. A lot of British soccer clubs where light blue or sky-blue or Baby blue and burgundy or naroon. But Avs are sharp imho. Awesome video Shannon. I love this stuff.
Shannon, what is your favorite jersey match-up? Just from how both teams’ colors look together. My favorite is Colorado home vs Buffalo away. Thought this would make an interesting video topic, if you haven’t already done it.
Sabres at 31 mins. ANYONE know why we have the different striping on the white jerseys? arms are blue - gold - blue. waist is gold - blue - gold. legs are like the arms blue - gold - blue. Why????
As Devils fan, I was at first shocked at being 16th, but I completely agree that the old jerseys look better with line at the bottom. If it was the Reebok or CCM jerseys, definitely higher though. Cool vid.
Adding black to the wheel would get someone killed. Detroit's white is the I've always preferred. It doesn't hurt that it was the home jersey when I was growing up watching them break through as a top team.
I agree with Shannon that they should add white to the sleeves of the home red jersey in the same pattern as the red patches on the white jersey. That would spice it up a bit. I wouldn’t add black to the tire, however.
I'm a biased Red Wings fan, so: 1. The Wings do not need to, nor should they ever change anything. They are perfect in their simplicity. 2. Shannon, you have a right to your opinion and low ranking of the Wings. I disagree, but understand your logic. However: Detroit most assuredly does not need to add black. Chicago, New Jersey, Ottawa, and Carolina are way more than enough to fill the NHL's red/black/white quota.
As a Red Wing fan, I have to agree on the home jersey. White jersey is iconic, red jersey exists. The best Red Wings jersey to me is the 2014 Winter Classic jersey.
As a sharks fan the away uniform is my favorite uniform in the league, and with the teal bucket it has an argument for the best uniform period. I really really like the home jersey, but I would like to see paired with some black pants, buckets, and gloves and I think that would elevate that look a ton, the all-teal look has grown on me, but I think a little separation of color would put it over the top
Shannon, I love your channel. Would you ever do a “Shannon’s NHL” jersey video? What I mean by that for each team, and from your jersey collection what you think their home and away should be. For example the LA kings should wear the 70’s purple crown at home and the “Burger King” away, etc. etc. Thanks THG.
Nashville made the fangs too big on the 'predator.' That animal couldn't even close its mouth or look down. It would fatally stab itself in the neck. I know that the intent is to look fierce but that could have been achieved with smaller fangs.
i MUCH prefer the gray vegas jersey to the gold, not sure why but the gray just really hits for me. i agree that seattle knocked it out of the park with their jersey set. i love the boston centennial jerseys, and boston's jerseys in general. perfect, chefs kiss, no notes. panthers should be higher in my opinion, but i'm biased.
Vegas fan here. I’ve got two grays (signed Engelland and an Eichel), a Stone retro red, and a gold which I put Whitecloud on two years after I got it. I don’t have a white, because I spill. 😄 I agree that the gold are scratchy, BUT I put a long sleeve tee or hoodie underneath and problem solved. (I got it for Christmas 2020 and promptly lost 25 pounds, so this solution was feasible.😄)
Wrong on Detroit, for sure. I'd move the white stipe on the bottom of the red jersey up a little bit, but both Red Wings jerseys are better than so many of the jerseys higher on your list.
I have an excel spreadsheet with the teams highlighted with their primary and secondary colors and the website I used to find the hex codes called Tampa's primary color "Toronto Blue" *sigh* I am a Tampa fan, but like, literally any other shade of blue or a different color like purple. I even like their third black jersey better than the blue home. Seriously, I know they won back-to-back cups with the blue, but I would love a recoloring.
When you do this year‘s jersey videos for each team, how about showing us just the new additions and maybe fashion/practice/all-star jerseys for that team?
Given how many times you said "aaand their third jersey kills it" or "but their third jersey was good" you should make a video ranking the third jerseys.
For Nashville, all you should have to do is put the blue on the shoulders. That way it'll break up the amount of yellow and ha e some sort of synergy with the away jersey.
Being a hockey fan since the early 90's, I generally liked the white jerseys more than the dark jerseys. I couldn't stand when they went back to dark jerseys at home. I think most team's white jerseys look better including my team, the Rangers. Montreal, Vegas, Winnipeg and maybe a few others are exceptions (imo) where the dark jerseys look better than the white. The pants play a factor in this, too. Since no one where's white pants, the white jerseys are usually a nicer contrast. Edmonton's dark pants with the dark jersey is too monochrome. The white jersey with the same pants looks great. That reminds me a lot of how the Nordiques white jersey looked great with the blue pants, the blue jersey not so much. I can understand why fans prefer wearing the darker jerseys since they should stay cleaner.
Currently, judging by the colors, patterns and logos, Phoenix Coyotes and San Jose Sharks seem to be the coolest. My favorites used to be the old Anaheim kits from the times when they were "Mighty" and it's a pity they didn't stick with the kits issued for the club's 30th anniversary 👍
I think for third jerseys, teams should select one from their special event nights and rotate through them each year as an up yours to Bettman. I imagine that Bettman gets to veto any jersey choices though...
16:48 the good news is the Wild don't need to go to Dallas to get permission to use the North Stars colors or logo. The league owns that branding. Dallas has no interest in their org before 1993 and treats their team almost as though it started that year. The reverse retros sold really well, so my guess is they'll be the permanent third jersey.
Funny how quickly your thoughts about the Ducks and Kings jerseys not changing anytime soon aged. I'm surprised you didn't hear that both teams were looking to rebrand because there had been rumblings about this for months before you made this video.
Since I am a die hard NY Sports fan of the Tri-State Area, NY/NJ and watch local hockey of the Rangers, Islanders, Devils, for the Rangers home and away jerseys I do like both jerseys but I like their away jersey more, for the Islanders home and away jerseys I like the away jersey more for some reason, and last for the Devils home and away jerseys I do like both jerseys home and away.
Devils fan here, and yeah, most of us agree that taking out the bottom stripes was a bad move, at least on the red jersey; I don't mind it as much on the white, it's a clean look, but the red just feels too plain now. I wonder if some teams get caught between designing jerseys meant more for fans to wear around and designs that work better on the ice; the Adidas Devils ones feel more designed with fans in mind (the plainer look makes it seem like it could be a hoodie or something), but it takes away from the on-ice look. Also...ok, I SWEAR I'm not saying this just because I'm a Rangers hater, but I've *never* understood the love for their regular jerseys. Yeah, yeah, "Original Six", whatever, but seriously, I feel like nearly every alternate or outdoor game jersey the Rangers have worn have been superior to their regular looks. Like, remember when the Islanders bafflingly changed to navy blue for awhile? The Rangers should've done that, not them! ...Oh, and I do dig the blue Isles sweaters, but agree their white ones are *way* too plain.
I hope I'm not the only one who's hoping the retros as alternates trend continues after this season. Some teams like Buffalo, Vancouver and Winnipeg I actually prefer the alternates over any of their other jerseys period.
Have you done a ranking where you ranked all of your favourite jerseys from each team against each other? You can go with a 3rd, heritage classic, whatever, dealers choice. 1 Entry for each team. All 32 teams ranked.
Rating the leafs so high may be a matter of subjective opinion, but rating them so much higher than Detroit is just crazy. If Detroit is to be criticized for having too much of one colour on the home jersey, then why is Toronto not subject to the same criticism. Plus, the Wings white jersey addresses that issue, so as a set one would think it would rate closer to Toronto whose white jersey is more of the same.
Red Wings sweater is too plain, ranked low. Maple Leafs sweater looks fantastic, is ranked high. Seems a little odd. They're either both plain, or both fantastic.
“The Hockey Guy” jersey is a word mark jersey.
The colors are atrocious too.
@@jeffe2267 Black and gold is elite
Baseball lettering, so a mix between a hockey and baseball jersey, though a baseball jersey is really just a shirt and not a jersey.

The Sabres current jerseys could not be more perfect. We get royal blue regular home and away, with a black Goathead alternate! It's just perfect.
Plus the thin white stripe on the blues is the subtle touch nobody knew they needed.
that gold nashville jersey would be easy to fix with a solid blue horizontal stripe under the logo. that gold sparkly vegas jersey looks like something my grandma would've worn.

As a Red Wing fan, I have to agree on the home jersey. White jersey is iconic, red jersey exists. The best Red Wings jersey to me is the 2014 Winter Classic jersey.
As a sharks fan the away uniform is my favorite uniform in the league, and with the teal bucket it has an argument for the best uniform period. I really really like the home jersey, but I would like to see paired with some black pants, buckets, and gloves and I think that would elevate that look a ton, the all-teal look has grown on me, but I think a little separation of color would put it over the top
Love the Kraken jerseys, just saying!
Shannon, I love your channel. Would you ever do a “Shannon’s NHL” jersey video? What I mean by that for each team, and from your jersey collection what you think their home and away should be. For example the LA kings should wear the 70’s purple crown at home and the “Burger King” away, etc. etc. Thanks THG.
Nashville made the fangs too big on the 'predator.' That animal couldn't even close its mouth or look down. It would fatally stab itself in the neck. I know that the intent is to look fierce but that could have been achieved with smaller fangs.
I love the custom jersey youre wearing 🔥
i MUCH prefer the gray vegas jersey to the gold, not sure why but the gray just really hits for me. i agree that seattle knocked it out of the park with their jersey set. i love the boston centennial jerseys, and boston's jerseys in general. perfect, chefs kiss, no notes. panthers should be higher in my opinion, but i'm biased.
likely an unpopular opinion, but i absolutely loved the oilers dark blue with neon orange highlights.
My only gripe with new flyers jersey's is that the numbers are one solid color. I think they would look a lot better with contrasting outlines.
Vegas fan here. I’ve got two grays (signed Engelland and an Eichel), a Stone retro red, and a gold which I put Whitecloud on two years after I got it. I don’t have a white, because I spill. 😄 I agree that the gold are scratchy, BUT I put a long sleeve tee or hoodie underneath and problem solved. (I got it for Christmas 2020 and promptly lost 25 pounds, so this solution was feasible.😄)
Vegas’ color scheme is dope. I LOVE that dark gray color pretty much wherever I see it
Wrong on Detroit, for sure. I'd move the white stipe on the bottom of the red jersey up a little bit, but both Red Wings jerseys are better than so many of the jerseys higher on your list.
Do you have a white "The Hockey Guy" jersey Shannon?
I have an excel spreadsheet with the teams highlighted with their primary and secondary colors and the website I used to find the hex codes called Tampa's primary color "Toronto Blue" *sigh* I am a Tampa fan, but like, literally any other shade of blue or a different color like purple. I even like their third black jersey better than the blue home. Seriously, I know they won back-to-back cups with the blue, but I would love a recoloring.
When you do this year‘s jersey videos for each team, how about showing us just the new additions and maybe fashion/practice/all-star jerseys for that team?
Given how many times you said "aaand their third jersey kills it" or "but their third jersey was good" you should make a video ranking the third jerseys.
For Nashville, all you should have to do is put the blue on the shoulders. That way it'll break up the amount of yellow and ha e some sort of synergy with the away jersey.
Oh yeah jersey video let’s goooo
For the Capitals, I love the blue jerseys with the big W.
Hey, why does the Montreal jersey say LHN instead of NHL?
because it's in French
Being a hockey fan since the early 90's, I generally liked the white jerseys more than the dark jerseys. I couldn't stand when they went back to dark jerseys at home. I think most team's white jerseys look better including my team, the Rangers. Montreal, Vegas, Winnipeg and maybe a few others are exceptions (imo) where the dark jerseys look better than the white. The pants play a factor in this, too. Since no one where's white pants, the white jerseys are usually a nicer contrast. Edmonton's dark pants with the dark jersey is too monochrome. The white jersey with the same pants looks great. That reminds me a lot of how the Nordiques white jersey looked great with the blue pants, the blue jersey not so much. I can understand why fans prefer wearing the darker jerseys since they should stay cleaner.
I feel the Canucks jersey is really underrated. They are beautiful jerseys.
Currently, judging by the colors, patterns and logos, Phoenix Coyotes and San Jose Sharks seem to be the coolest. My favorites used to be the old Anaheim kits from the times when they were "Mighty" and it's a pity they didn't stick with the kits issued for the club's 30th anniversary 👍
Idk what PureHockey has left but many were $90 US. Got my Vegas white not too long ago.
Nordiques in white and Whalers in white were always my favourite jerseys.
I think for third jerseys, teams should select one from their special event nights and rotate through them each year as an up yours to Bettman.
I imagine that Bettman gets to veto any jersey choices though...
I like the white canes jersey but it fits with the red more. If it had the black Jersey stripes it would look crisp
16:48 the good news is the Wild don't need to go to Dallas to get permission to use the North Stars colors or logo. The league owns that branding. Dallas has no interest in their org before 1993 and treats their team almost as though it started that year. The reverse retros sold really well, so my guess is they'll be the permanent third jersey.
Funny how quickly your thoughts about the Ducks and Kings jerseys not changing anytime soon aged. I'm surprised you didn't hear that both teams were looking to rebrand because there had been rumblings about this for months before you made this video.
Since I am a die hard NY Sports fan of the Tri-State Area, NY/NJ and watch local hockey of the Rangers, Islanders, Devils, for the Rangers home and away jerseys I do like both jerseys but I like their away jersey more, for the Islanders home and away jerseys I like the away jersey more for some reason, and last for the Devils home and away jerseys I do like both jerseys home and away.
All of the Original 6 are my favourites 👌
Devils fan here, and yeah, most of us agree that taking out the bottom stripes was a bad move, at least on the red jersey; I don't mind it as much on the white, it's a clean look, but the red just feels too plain now. I wonder if some teams get caught between designing jerseys meant more for fans to wear around and designs that work better on the ice; the Adidas Devils ones feel more designed with fans in mind (the plainer look makes it seem like it could be a hoodie or something), but it takes away from the on-ice look.
Also...ok, I SWEAR I'm not saying this just because I'm a Rangers hater, but I've *never* understood the love for their regular jerseys. Yeah, yeah, "Original Six", whatever, but seriously, I feel like nearly every alternate or outdoor game jersey the Rangers have worn have been superior to their regular looks. Like, remember when the Islanders bafflingly changed to navy blue for awhile? The Rangers should've done that, not them! ...Oh, and I do dig the blue Isles sweaters, but agree their white ones are *way* too plain.
I hope I'm not the only one who's hoping the retros as alternates trend continues after this season. Some teams like Buffalo, Vancouver and Winnipeg I actually prefer the alternates over any of their other jerseys period.
between the sabres and amerks I may not be spoiled for much, but team media presence and jerseys? those I am spoiled for
Have you done a ranking where you ranked all of your favourite jerseys from each team against each other? You can go with a 3rd, heritage classic, whatever, dealers choice. 1 Entry for each team. All 32 teams ranked.
Vegas' white jersey is my favourite away jersey in the league.
San Jose and Chicago may be incredibly bad but we sure know how to tank with style.
I liked the silver of nashville’s. original unis. Marigold is the teal of this decade.
Rating the leafs so high may be a matter of subjective opinion, but rating them so much higher than Detroit is just crazy. If Detroit is to be criticized for having too much of one colour on the home jersey, then why is Toronto not subject to the same criticism. Plus, the Wings white jersey addresses that issue, so as a set one would think
it would rate closer to Toronto whose white jersey is more of the same.
I prefer the older pouncing Panther jersey myself. I really do not care for the current home jersey but I really like the current away jersey.
Red Wings sweater is too plain, ranked low. Maple Leafs sweater looks fantastic, is ranked high. Seems a little odd. They're either both plain, or both fantastic.
31:47 I think if we include alts Buffalo would be my favorite
As a canes fan I too don't really like the canes word mark on the away jersey.
"I've never been a huge fan of wordmarks," he says, wearing a jersey that reads "The Hockey Guy."
