The Hockey News ranked jerseys last year based on the teams logo, this year they decided to go by patches, striping, and piping to rank the jerseys. I also need to mention colors as well.
The Amerks were ranked second for a “Classic crest with a clean look to it.” I’m not quite sure how the Milwaukee Admirals got the top spot. In a typically boring month for hockey news this is what we get.
Take the time to visit The Hockey News web site to vote for the Rochester Americans jersey as the best in the AHL – http://thehockeynews.com/pages/puck_poll.php
Two teams missing are the Texas Stars and Abbotsford Heat because the teams have not officially launched their jerseys. To view what was actually said about each jersey click here – http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/27493-.html.
