That Minny jersey is indeed a great jersey, I won't deny that. I love hearing people's thoughts on what they're favourite ones are, I think it's great. But there was a lot to choose from. The criteria to make the list was based on resemblance to history, symbolism and creativity. The Minny jersey does have the "North Star" resemblance on the engraved hand-writing of "Minnesota Wild" on the jersey but I thought that part was a little too subtle. The layout and piping is great but I thought the resemblance to the history and symbolism wasn't strong enough but there is no denying that the jersey is a really good design overall.

If the jersey had a shoulder patch that was interesting, then it probably would have made it.

Thank you for your input!

Okay, any list of top rivalries over the past twenty years that does not have the Wings and Avalanche number one is simply wrong. It was a rivalry that burned brightly for near a decade and burned out but if you see the players interviewed from that era, even today they hate each other. I saw Roy interviewed by Osgood earlier this year and thought Roy was going to straight up punch Ozzie.

  Hall of famers were on the ice on every shift. A true hatred between Shanny, Forsberg, Lemieux, Mccarty and the rest. Even the non combatants brought it night in and night out when they met each other. I tell you there has not been anything like it for a quarter of a century.

  Leafs and Habs? puleeze. You are living in the past, fifty years ago. I still get up for the games between these two but the rivalry died a long time ago. It is fun hockey, so is Sens and Leafs in the battle for Ontario, the Flames and Oilers in the battle of Alberta but the Wings./Avalanche for near a decade was war.

Yes I understand you`re upset that the Avs and Wings aren`t #1 but that rivalry is also fading slowly but I agree it was very spirited and that's why it was on my top ten. As for the Leafs and Habs rivalry, it is the one that brought Canadian hockey tradition together and it still impacts how it is TODAY and it has the most fanfare involvement more than the other rivalries and the fans from each others respective teams in that particular rivalry get heavily into it.

My survey on my website showed only 1 vote out of 8 chose the Colorado and Detroit rivalry as their favourite, the Montreal and Boston rivalry has the lead so far with 3 but that's just the results so far.

I thank you for reading my article and voicing your opinion and I hope you have a nice day.

I think the black jerseys are a vast improvement for the Kings, I particularly didn't like the huge crown crest..I'm also wondering if it's a bit of a 'spin-off' of the LA Raiders black & silver unis? The crest is even slightly similar in shape. I'm definitely not a fan of the Sen's alternate jersey with the big 'O', but I think your #1 pick is also my fave, I almost like it even more than the Blue's home jersey, really like that blue & the yellow is a nice contrast. The crest is very classic looking, with the note & the arch. I would almost make it a tie with the Nucks' alternate jersey with the 'stick in the rink' logo, nice vintage. Nice post!

Thank you for your input and I respect your opinion. Of course this is just my opinion on the top jerseys and everyone is going to have different views. I do understand your distaste with the Ottawa jersey. I gave that particular jersey points for resemblance on the original Ottawa Senators jersey when the NHL was first established in the 1900's. That was my reason for the #4 pick and I know there are better jerseys so that's why it wasn't the top of the list.
