As we go through the 2019-20 season, we’ll be updating all of the Worst to First Jersey posts every Monday, as almost all the teams in the league have unveiled new jerseys since their original posts. We’ll start with the ones most needing updating and work our way through the league. Today, it’s time for […]
WHA…WTH? Lost in the turbulent history of a year that featured Watergate, the Munich Olympic Tragedy and the end of the Vietnam War, was the birth of a bold but ill-fated professional hockey league. When the World Hockey Association dropped its first puck on October 11, 1972, hopes were high that the new league would […]
Christmas is over. 2018 is right around the corner, so it’s that time of the year where everyone and their top-5-favourite-dogs-of-the-year are counting down the best and worst lists for 2017. We’re not immune to such things. In fact, we do it on a semi-regular basis. So today, we’re got the Top 5 Best Designs of […]

Hockey teams have been using green practice jerseys on St. Paddy’s Day the last few years (and this year is no exception), so it got […]
Ed. Note: Because we’re doing the best and worst logo in All-Star Game history, the Top 5 is temporarily a Top 4, and styled slightly different accordingly.) The NHL All-Star weekend is approaching, an annual event with a long history of questionable design choices. We have seen some nicer sweaters throughout the years too (although this year, not so much), but the […]
If you’re anything like me, it’s not even a month into the New Year and you’ve already broken any resolution you may have made. I mean, who really has time to go to the gym anyway when there are hockey design write-ups that need completion? Is it really my fault? Nay, I say that sometimes […]
I remember the first time I saw the “H” in the Hartford Whalers logo. I think I was around 9 or 10 years old and it absolutely blew my mind. Just in case you still haven’t had the same Whalers epiphany, here you go. You’re welcome. As anyone who has read this blog knows, I’m a […]
