Uniforms through the years--NHL

Next in our look at sports uniforms through the years is part 2 of uniforms that should never change. Uniforms that are so steeped in tradition that any changes would be seen as cause for riot. This time, the NHL. And if there are any group of teams that should be legally prevented from changing their uniform designs, it's the "Original Six":


6) New York Rangers




Kinda boring, yeah. This is one case where simple is kinda, eh. But is is traditional, and better than those stupid "alternate" jerseys (which every team should do away with).


5) Boston Bruins




Where did the design come from? Who knows, but the colors are cool. Black and gold is always a good combo, and has stood up to the test of time for the Bruins.


4) Montreal Canadiens



"Les Habitants" have hoisted the Cup 23 times. And have always looked good doing it.


3) Detroit Red Wings



Gotta love the red on white winged wheel design. Like the Tigers, keeping it simple in Detroit looks good.



2) Toronto Maple Leafs




Great shade of blue, eh. And the road jerseys are really good, too.


1) Chicago Black Hawks





'Nuff said. At most sports stores, this jersey usually goes for a much higher price than other hockey jerseys. And for good reason.
