The jerseys for next week’s NHL All-Star Game have a “reverse retro” spin on the mid-1990s getup and have been extremely well-received. These are the best All-Star uniforms in…at least a decade? Maybe two decades?
But let’s go deeper and ask the Daily Faceoff Roundtable: Which All-Star Game jersey is the best of all-time, and why?
MATT LARKIN: Maybe we’ll all lean toward whichever getup brings about the most nostalgic feelings. I think back to sitting in my parents’ unfinished basement, watching last-minute injury replacement Mike Gartner bury four goals in the 1993 All-Star Game. The 1993 uniform was consistent with the scheme dating back to the 1980s: NHL shield colors, lots of stars, just a fun design honoring the league itself. Still my favorite despite the fact I love the latest ones.
