ESPN ranks Canadiens as top sports jersey

The Montreal Canadiens have the top-ranked jersey in sports, according to ESPN’s Uni Watch Power Rankings.

ESPN released their final rankings of the teams in the MLB, NHL, NFL and NBA on Thursday where they ranked the historically-dominant Canadiens atop the list.

According to Uni Watch, the Habs “have it all: an iconic logo, two distinct but equally classic uni designs and an ideal balance of red, white and blue. This isn’t just a perfect hockey uniform set — it’s a perfect uniform set, period.”

The list ranked several classic jerseys in the top 10 including the Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, Boston Bruins, Green Bay Packers, and New York Yankees.

Two Toronto teams ranked in the top 25 as the Blue Jays and Maple Leafs ranked 21st and 22nd respectively.

The Blue Jays were the eighth-best MLB team after switching back to their vintage look as they were in “the running for the worst-dressed team in North America” last season.

The Edmonton Oilers were the lowest-ranked Canadian team on the list as they placed 104th out of a possible 122 teams.

“Come on, guys — you’ve have the exact same logo for 40 years now, and it’s clearly outlived its expiration date. Surely you can update it at least a little bit.”

There were some surprising choices as NHL clubs such as the Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets were listed above the Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, and Chicago Blackhawks.
