Quebec Nordiques proposed 1995-96 jerseys

[Thenameless]

Absolutely horrid.

The old Nords jerseys are probably my favorite in all of sports. Why mess with a good thing?

Yes, the old Fleur de lis jerseys are much nicer.

 

[Moose Head]

Loved the old Nords jerseys. That said, what exactly was the logo? An igloo?

 

[SealsFan]

Jerseys were great but logo was terrible either.
This fits into second half of 90's with fisherman and robo-coyote.

Right, I like the jersey, the colors remind me of the late 70's Penguins jerseys before they switched to black/gold. But the logo is pure minor-league.

its the letter "N" not shaped to be an igloo, but their original arena "Le Colisee" ,
with a hockey stick thrown in for good measure.

nice, simple, classic!

I remember thinking to myself at the time that it was a pretty nice jersey... looks very dated now

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Very CHLish.

 

[Boxscore]

You don't tweak greatness. The 90's Quebec Nordiques uniforms were the nicest uniforms in hockey history.

 

[MadLuke]

People talking about aging and that 90s trend of giving more actual image instead of abstract logo that didn't age well.

I remember not disliking them back then, now they look ridiculous while the Nordiques uniform look extremely good.

Same goes for the Mustang and other car 80s-90s version.... it was not a particularly glorious time design wise.

The wolf is not a bad jersey/design. Colours scheme is dated but that's fixed easy enough. I'd say it wasn't NHL caliber, but after looking at what the NHL does and has had for jersey design that wouldn't quite be true.

It's just that the Nordiques ones are that much better.

At one time the Nordiques in their final years were my favourite version, but now my top Nordiques uniform choice is this WHA one.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Quebec can use them if they get a team back, since I doubt they'll use these again.

Before anyone asks why, you don't see the new Jets rocking these still, do you?

Just because they don't, doesn't mean they shouldn't.

 

[Bondurant]

I am almost thankful the Nordiques moved instead of wearing those horrid wolf jerseys. Actually, I think there would have been enough backlash that they would scrap the idea or switch back after a year or two so bring hockey back to QC.

Jets should revert to the previous look.

Exactly. Those Jets versions are way better than the current.

Without question. Actually, these are my favorite Jets rendition...but the Selanne era are sweet too.

 

[HisIceness]

I think those look better than what they were wearing before.

"I'm . . . too 90s for my shirt.

So 90s, it hurts!!"


Those are God-awful. The Nords' jerseys in the late-80s/early-90s were things of beauty.

 

[NYR94]

They look like late 90s All Star jerseys with a wolf logo pasted on the front.

These are beauties.

The Nordiques logo looks like a sad elephant.

Shoutout to the 8-year-old post dropping a Web Warriors reference. I’d trade the next few NHL seasons for another chance to see Heavy Metal ramp it up.

 

[Fixxer]

These jerseys illustrated the management issues within the organisation. Not on-ice issues, like when they got 3 straight 1st overall picks, but things were in a bad place and this picture is one more proof of it.

There's alot going on here, but I think they have a certain charm to them.

It's sort of reminds me of retro expos uniforms.

 

[BenchBrawl]

This... was a bad idea on every level.

The original Nordiques jersey was a classic; you don't mess with that.

May he RIP - Dale Hawerchuk...

 

[PurpleMouse]

I actually don't think these Nords jerseys are that bad, it's just radically different than what we were used to, sort of "fixing what's not broken.

It would be in line with Sabres & Capitals re-design in the 90s, fine uniforms but people just like the old ones. The difference being the colours were more daring in the Nordiques case, but I think it walks the line without being ridiculous. A colour combination like that would be welcome in the NHL- just not at the expense of the fine uniform Quebec already had.
