Last week the NHL unveiled its jerseys for the 2015 All-Star game, describing them as "bold" and "fresh." Naturally, when a professional sporting league markets something as bold and fresh, it generally means "so incredibly ugly that nobody has done it before."
That's what happened this time around. The NHL started out boring, with a plain black and plain white jersey, then added a bunch of gratuitous striping on the arms and sides in chrome and neon green. The result is a reasonable approximation of what a four-year-old boy with a pack of specialty crayons would do to a dull black-and-white jersey scheme.
But how do this year's monstrosities compare with All-Star jerseys from the past? In the following slideshow we look at the past 25 years' worth of jerseys from the NHL All-Star Game and divide them into best (often only by default) and worst.
