6. Carolina Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes have a natural disaster as their mascot. While that is an intimidating thought, creating a jersey and emblem design around it is a challenge.

Since joining the NHL in 1998, the Canes have stuck to their original emblem design. It is actually a modified version of the symbol of a hurricane in Carolina’s colors of black, white and red.

The design itself is okay. It is not the best in the league, but it is not necessarily the worst. There are not that many options when it comes to recreating a hurricane if they were to go in a very literal sense. They could try to do something related to the Carolinas, but in all actuality this is probably their best bet.

The sweater has basic stripes throughout and on the shoulders, which is nice but not revolutionary. Adding details like laces or something a little more distinguishing would really take this jersey to the next level.

Maybe their next redesign will feature a logo change, but until then this will continue to identify them as a franchise.

Nonetheless, this sweater is the best the Hurricanes have come up with. It seems like it can withstand the test of time moving forward, which is always a good thing for a jersey.
