25) Panthers

The Good: They kept the logo, font, and colors. Definitely look like a team from Florida. Piping isn't all that bad, especially on the home jersey.
The Bad: Why the half stripe on the sleeves? Plus there is minimal blue in the away uniforms and that needs to change. Logo needed a face lift. How about a panther that actually looks more fierce than a kitty?
24) Lightning

The Good: Major upgrade in doing away with the shoulder stripes, and the logo needed some tweaking.
The Bad: Chest numbers. This is an awful idea. On the ice, the unis look a bit boring, and the logo would be much improved without the "Tampa Bay".
23) Sharks

The Good: Love the new logo.
The Bad: They stuck a modernized logo onto a somewhat traditional uniform. Oh, let's add orange. Now they're the Dolphins. The old jerseys would have welcomed the logo rather than make it look like it's stuck wit nowhere to go. Oh, and chest numbers.
22) Predators

The Good: Didn't mess a whole lot with the overall feel of the uniform.
The Bad: Definitely a downgrade from seasons past. The road uni looks like a sweatshirt and why does the logo need to be on a background. Oh, and do I love the "Nashville" printed over the logo. Why??
21) Wild
http://www.nhluniforms.com/2000s/Images/Wild5.gif
The Good: The home uniform. Say what you want about the colors but on the ice, they have a classy, yet modern feel (is that possible?). I love the logo as well.
The Bad: The road uniform. Looks nothing like the home sweater and while it has character, it would be a much more effective look if it mimicked the home red.

Yea, most people will agree with you. I dunno what it is, they have grown on me but I don't like the orange at all.

I think the Wild should be down further, there home jerseys are very nice.

Just not a fan of the roadies anymore! I don't hate them, there just happen to be a bunch more jerseys I like better! Honestly, even I realize this isn't a perfect list, especially after some of the comments that make me reconsider!

LOVE THE WILDS ROADIES!
top 3 jersey in the world in my book.
and I must say that I am quite shocked I haven't seen my beloved Red Wings Jersey on here yet.
Quite bland if you ask me. However the tradition it caries is unbelievable.
Something I don't know if you have noticed but do Lidstrom, Draper, Datsyuk and Zetterberg's jerseys not look a little different to you? That's because the Wings put the Letter (C and A) on the opposite side as the rest of the league due to the high positioning of the tip of the wing. Just an little bit of useless info.
UGLY! ahah

Couldn't agree more, the "C" and "A" looked horrendous this season. And while somewhat bland (like the Leafs), it hasn't really been tampered with like other unis. You'll see, at least on my list, they get a lot of credit for sticking to tradition. This list just happens to be my take on the NHL uniforms!

I agree with the lack of tampering!
I sure hope they switch back the sides though!

Gotta Agree with the wild jersies....love the new home jersey, but yes the new road one could use a face lift, however im not sure if mimicking the home look would be the best move...
