Habs, Bruins, Rangers, Wings, Flyers, Leafs Rated As Best Uniforms

Oct 31, 2014 12:43 PM

The Canadiens have the best uniforms in the NHL, according to Paul Lukas of Uni Watch.

"Proud standard-bearers for a league, a sport, a nation and now for the uni-verse as well, the Habs have it all: an iconic logo, two distinct but equally classic uni designs (it's odd that the wraparound chest stripe only appears on the home jersey, but the road design works fine without it), and an ideal balance of red, white and blue," writes Lukas. "This isn't just a perfect hockey uniform set -- it's a perfect uniform set, period. Unlike the old-school classics in the other sports (Yankees, Celtics, Raiders), it has some major visual pizzazz. Puts the biscuit in the basket, and then some."

The Bruins, Rangers, Red Wings, Flyers and Maple Leafs round out the top-six.
