Fan vote selects Blackhawks as NHL's greatest uniform
The Chicago Blackhawks may not win the Stanley Cup this season, but they did come first in at least one category.
The Blackhawks' iconic look, worn since 1959, has been named the NHL's greatest uniform, as selected by fans in an NHL poll.
Founded in 1926, the Blackhawks are six-time Stanley Cup champions, including three Cup wins since 2010. The legendary franchise has also been home to a host of Hall of Famers, from Stan Mikita to Bobby Hull and Denis Savard, plus current stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews.
The NHL's ranking included the top 25 uniforms of all time, with every Original Six franchise finding a spot on the list:
Rank | Team |
---|---|
1 | Blackhawks |
7 | Detroit Red Wings |
9 | Montreal Canadiens |
12 | Toronto Maple Leafs |
15 | Boston Bruins |
23 | New York Rangers |
Both the Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs had two separate uniforms qualify for the Top 25 ranking, coming in at 21st and 18th, respectively.
The NHL's newest addition, the Vegas Golden Knights, is ranked 13th.
