When the Sharks unveiled their new third jersey last week, there were some — and we won’t name names here — who were disappointed the Sharks didn’t choose a more retro style for their collection.
Of course, the Sharks weren’t the only ones who went more modern with an alternate home jersey. The Carolina Hurricanes created a black jersey with a double storm warning flag attached to a hockey stick in a really cool logo and jersey redesign.
But NHL fans have a hard time letting go of what is arguably one of the best logos and color schemes in NHL history — the Hartford Whalers, who went on to eventually become the Carolina Hurricanes.
