So as the revolution (Armageddon?) is about to take place, for the sake of nostalgia, here's a rundown of NHL uniform rankings.
It is completely subjective, with no reliance on shootouts to break ties; no consultation with either Brett Hull or Alexander Julian (who would want all teams in teal and purple); and no consideration of "third" jerseys, which in most cases don't deserve much consideration, anyway.
1. Canadiens
Club de Hockey. Traditional striping, though different on the road and home sets, and you swear they still smell like real sweaters.
2. Red Wings
The winged wheel is timeless, perfect and universally recognizable, probably even in Munich or Minot.
3. Maple Leafs.
The best accommodation between traditional and modern. There have been tweaks, but not ruination.
(See a pattern here?)

30. Sabres
Go Slugs!
