Once again, we start at the top with our summer rankings.
The NHL goes under the microscope as we rank from first to last the best jerseys in the league.
Will the Original Six once again dominate? Who from the new school can crash the party?
While logos (last year’s competition) are certainly a big part of the hockey jersey, we also considered shoulder patches, striping and piping – so teams gained and lost points based on those factors. You'll also notice both home and away jerseys are used to represent the teams. Simply put, we took the one we liked best out of the two. Third or alternate jersey weren't considered.
Plus, influence counts for a lot; how many teams have cribbed off the Bruins’ spoked ‘B,’ or the New York Rangers’ design?
With all that in play, here are the rankings. Click on each thumbnail for a larger picture.
And once you've taken in our top 30, head over to the voting page to select your favorite from our top 10 and help it to move on in the Jersey Tournament that will follow the rankings of each league’s jerseys (find the rankings and tournament schedule on The Hockey News Jersey Rankings and Tournament Central page).
Over the next two months, THN.com will leave the voting on the best jerseys up to you, the reader. To vote for your favorite, click HERE (NHL jersey voting ends at 9 a.m. EST on Aug. 17.). To see ratings from other leagues, visit THN.com's Jersey Rankings and Tournament Central.
