What’s your favourite hockey jersey? Is it a jersey that you happen to have in your collection? Do you have an “all-time” favourite jersey that comes to mind? As a hockey jersey collector, there’s so many jerseys that are uniquely great in their own way. Even if you don’t know a thing about hockey jerseys, let me present to you three legendary hockey jerseys.
MONTREAL CANADIENS HOME JERSEY
Even if you don’t know a thing about hockey, you might have heard of the saying “la rouge, bleu et blanc”. The red, blue and white home sweaters of the Montreal Canadiens remain the iconic hockey jersey. You might be thinking to yourself, has it changed over the years? Not really, and that’s a good thing because it is so iconic in the jersey industry that it never needs a complete makeover. I got myself a Carey Price Canadiens jersey before I went on my trip to Montreal, and it’ll remain a legendary jersey in my collection because of its history.
ANAHEIM MIGHTY DUCKS 90S JERSEY
Another absolute classic in the hockey jersey industry is the Anaheim Mighty Ducks primary jerseys. The green and purple jersey from the 90s is an iconic colour scheme that just worked, and ended up being immortalized in the famous hockey movie “The Mighty Ducks”. The Ducks have gone from having one of the best jerseys to one of the worst jerseys, with a weird orange colour scheme. I don’t have a Ducks jersey in my collection yet, but when I get one it will definitely be one of the legendary players to wear the Mighty Ducks jersey.
I’ve mentioned a universal jersey and an iconic movie jersey, now I have to give a shoutout to a jersey everyone in Vancouver should know and appreciate. Do you remember the “spaghetti plate”, usually referred to as the “skate” jerseys from the Canucks in the mid-90s? Here’s another example of a colour scheme that just worked. Now that this jersey is back in the Canucks rotation as a third jersey, it gives us another chance to appreciate these beauties. I own a Horvat jersey in this re-design, and it’ll remain one of my favourites in my collection forever.
So there you have it, three legendary hockey jerseys from the past. How many of these three did you know about? There’s some jerseys that deserve to be recognized and immortalized for their greatness, including the three jerseys I just mentioned. Can you think of other jerseys that deserve written praise like these one?
Hockey jerseys remain the best type of sports jersey of all the major sports. No debate needed.
