30 best NHL jerseys of all-time

12. Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers have the monopoly on the orange and blue color spectrum as far as most people are concerned. They’re iconic for taking advantage of the bright color duo, despite having entered the league later than a team like the Islanders which also uses a similar palette.

Regardless, this is the Oilers’ best jersey because it highlights the vibrant capability of a rich orange and royal blue. Other variations of theirs lack in this aspect, ditching the royal blue in favor of a more navy tone.

The font for the numbers, the details on the gloves and helmet make this look come together. That is, with exception of the dull orange seen on the pants in this image. Overall Edmonton’s crest is essentially the same as the one used when they were apart of the WHA, before they joined the NHL.

It is still a good option for the team as redoing it risks backlash, something that a lot of NHL teams are familiar with.

It would be nice to see the Oilers take a risk in the future and not stick to the status quo. They have an opportunity to redo their emblem and rebrand a team that is finally starting to look like a club featuring numerous high draft picks.
