23. Pittsburgh Penguins

This jersey is a beauty. Its incorporation of the powder blue mixed with a navy base and hints of cream and a golden yellow works perfectly. This was utilized by the Penguins for the 2011 Winter Classic, meaning it was meticulously designed for television.

Even though it did not lead to Pittsburgh starting off the 2011 stint of the 2010-11 campaign on the right foot, these sweaters are nearly perfect.

Winter Classic jerseys often pay homage to older designs and this is one in which Pittsburgh’s designers nailed it. The cliché use of the penguin mascot holding a hockey stick isn’t as big of an issue in this crest because there are other things going on around it.

The team’s name surrounds the upside down triangle on the crest and make for a really interesting design. Other teams could not get away with shrinking their emblem down because they would be risking the integrity of the design. However, Pittsburgh’s logo is rather simple and it only has a very literal meaning, making the smaller version of it just as impactful.

Everything about this sweater makes it visually pleasing and although the Penguins couldn’t come up with two points back in 2011, these jerseys hit it out of the park.
