TOP 10: Best NHL Jerseys with ZERO WINS 

I do like that part of the story. Make it your own!

But then the Sabers went back to the blue and gold but with the Buffaslug on the front. Not for nothing, I loved the Buffaslug.

They’ve been wearing the black jerseys and walking out to “machine head” again

Definitely more to come!

It's been in maybe 2 or 3 games this season, but I wish they'd wear the Johnny Canuck ones' more as well. Def agree on the Millionaire's tho

🥳

Yeah, exactly. The Oilers showing up on that filter was a little misleading because it was effectively a return to a previous jersey at that point in time. It just has to do with how I categorize jerseys in that document. And I thought about mentioning the Calgary HC and Vegas WC from this year, but I figured it wouldn’t be fair since the season isn’t over yet. They could conceivably wear them again and win. Might have to revisit this list in a few years.

Finally. Someone else that also liked the red Reverse Retro. I want to shake your hand.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

More fun facts!

I’ll have to check my tracker to see if there’s any statistical significance for red and black jerseys over other colors.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Also as a Preds fan - lol that the sMAsHvILLE jersey never got a win. Fans still wear it around town at least!

@@kennybryan3588 I love that Smashville uniform. I think they should do a couple of “Smashville” Nights a year with that uniform and have the whole arena experience centered around local Nashville food and music.

Goated or Goat-head?

Thanks for the kind words!

Kings were 2-2-1 in those. Great colors! 🟣🟡

Thanks so much!

Love that. It’s the sentiment that launched this video.

As do I! 😅

Happy to hear it!

Weirdly, that wasn’t the only time. Remember the orange throwback the Oilers wore in the 2016 Heritage Classic? It started as a third jersey the season before.

@@icethetics good call. The Oilers are a bit like the Bruins for me sometimes, feels like they've done every variation of the same basic elements so it's hard to keep track of when they first did it.

I’m always keeping an eye out for them!

Thanks for watching!

😅 you’re very welcome!

Thanks for watching!

Maybe so!

Thanks for watching!

They have three history jerseys and a heritage jersey?? I don’t think I’d be able to keep up with the NBA. 😅

@@icethetics Yup,i understand,but is boring to see teams uses all time same jersey

😂 well thank you

I have a feeling fans of any team featured here will be hurt. 😬

Haha, well it was a cool jersey... just a lot of bad game results. 😅

You’ve found the right channel!

Thank you for your service. 🫡

Just grinding away. Thanks for watching!

Good question. Since some of them have OT/SO losses, they did earn points in the standings. The jerseys that have zero points all-time would be the Ducks/Blues Reverse Retro, Caps/Preds/Sharks Stadium Series, and the Canucks' Millionaires throwback. And technically the worst record would also mean the most losses, so that would be a 3-way tie between the Preds/Sharks SS and Millionaires, all 0-3-0.

Haha, my longest intro yet! But a good story, right?

There really aren’t that many, oddly enough. But I do think the few occasions where it’s happened could be worth looking at.

It’s on the way! As I mentioned in the credits, I am prepping a video about jerseys that never lost. Should be another fun one.

​@icethetics missed that at the end! I hoping either of Kings other Stadium Series uniforms can make the list, but the white pants and chrome helmets might keep them on the low end or just outside the top 10.

A little sneak preview there. 😅

The Blues last Winter Classic never lost.

The Blues’ 2022 WC jersey lost to the Bruins in OT on 4/19/22.

I've already made that list, now I just have to edit the video!

@@icethetics Let's goooooo! Absolute legend! Can't wait!

Rangers are good enough to win this year. So your suffering may be over soon.

That’s on my radar, too! Best and worst for each team.

@@icethetics Devils original reds with green are toast😂 The team stunk before switching to black and every time they brought them back it was almost a guaranteed loss.

Hell yes. I want it full time.

Yeah, there really aren’t that many more that didn’t make the list. (I even expanded beyond 10, technically, to include all 3 Sharks jerseys.) Others on the list would be, like you said, the Knights’ WC and Flames’ HC but since the season’s not over yet, I didn’t want to include those. They still could theoretically get a win. The only other non-winner would be the Red Wings’ first Reverse Retro and I couldn’t in good conscience put it ahead of any of the designs in this countdown. 😅

😬 don't worry... plenty of games left to wear them.

Yeah I put it in the description when I posted this video. Go take a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks! And as far as I'm concerned, they never won in THAT jersey. This is a modern Reebok Edge take on an old CCM jersey. The designs may be similar, but they are not the same.

I believe they had a winning record in the yellow Reverse Retro. And they just won with the old retro on Wednesday too. I really hope the crappy arch jersey stays buried in the past.

by any chance are you an oiLers fan? 😅

@@icethetics oh sorry is my Loilty showing?? haha

Ha, how fitting! 😅

You might be even more surprised to learn the Sabres actually wore that jersey 4 times and went 1-2-1 in it. They beat NYI while wearing it on 2/8/18.

They were great jerseys! It’s why I put them so high on the list. 🦈

Like I mentioned at 2:31, I keep my own document where I track jersey matchups in every game. The Bruins’ RR 1.0 jersey was not yellow... it was a white version of their yellow third from the ’90s. They wore it 6 times, going 5-0-1.

@@icethetics the yellow that they wore at Lake Tahoe was the reverse retro 1.0? Or so I thought. 2.0 was the reverse Pooh bear

I’m sorry, I misunderstood! For some reason I thought you were referring to 2.0, and then I wrote 1.0 even though you did originally say 1.0. What a mess. 😅 Yes, you’re right. The yellow RR jersey worn in the 2021 season was worn in 5 games, going 4-1-0.

@@icethetics haha it’s all good! And thank you!

“Surfboard” I get but I’d love to see what the heck kind of butter knife you use. 😅 Sabres’ 2021 RR jersey went 1-4-1.

@icethetics that's what the Sabres logo on the red alt and Sabres' R.R. 1.0 are called Butterknives because the blades aren't sharp, dull like a butterknife. Some BarDown members called Butterknives it as well

Being edited!! But I’m holding it until March because something is happening in a few weeks that I really want to include in the next episode. 😅

@@icetheticsTeasers upon teasers upon teasers. You’re killing us, Chris! And I absolutely love it.

Haha I just have so much in the pipeline! I only wish I had more time to sit down and edit every week. If only Icethetics was my full-time job. 😅

I consider it remake rather than a copy-and therefore unique from the original-since it went so long between uses and this one was a Reebok Edge version. Also as someone who tracks this type of data I have to ask: where did you get 161 wins? 😬

Oh yeah, happy to dig into that nerdiness. The Oilers throwback from 2006-07 (including Messier night) was a revival of a jersey the team hadn’t worn in 10+ years. If it’s been more than a year or two between uses of a jersey, I create a new entry-though there are not many examples of this happening in NHL history. This version was also made by Reebok unlike the original-which was CCM-and went away in 1996. And you’re mistaken about it becoming a third jersey the next season because that would’ve been 2007-08, the first year of Reebok Edge-and there were no third jerseys that year. The Edge version of the Oilers throwback came along in 2008-09 and because it was Edge, that automatically makes it a new jersey in my dataset. I did begin separating by manufacturer in 2007 when the league-wide jersey contracts began. The 2003 Heritage Classic jersey is entered as a separate jersey worn for the one game. Again, the design it’s based on was last used in 1996, so with that many years passing, I consider it a new jersey-even if the design is mostly the same. A throwback is its own thing in my book. All that being said, if we wanted to gauge how royal blue Oilers jerseys have performed all-time, I can just combine all these versions and call it day. That’s easier to do than trying to determine what data to take out if we wanted to see how it did, say, as the Edge version. I know that was long-winded, but did it answer your question?

​​@@icethetics Ah yes, I forgot about the gap year between the start of Edge 1.0 and the Royal Blue and Orange being a third, I do appreciate the meticulous thought taken into consideration here. The rule of a new category existing for something that had been shelved for a few years makes sense. I suppose they technically are different with different manufacturers. I guess it just sort of made my brain hurt because the royal blue Oilers stuff has been pretty regular (outside of the detour to pylon orange) since then that remembering a time where they were true throwbacks is different. Outside of the 40th anniversary throwback games, the 2003 Heritage Classic and the Messier Retirement, was that throwback ever used again? I can't remember if it was for another retirement, I know it wasn't for Coffey's, but thats all I can remember. That does answer my question though! Great video once again!

It works in the Google Sheets app for me. Can’t say how well it works in various phone browsers. But honestly, it’s not a great tiny screen experience anyway. It’s a big doc with a lot of data. Probably best viewed on a computer screen.

“Is” being the keyword there. I held off on considering any jerseys that are still in active use this season because the team could theoretically wear them again and win.

How many more times is it going to be worn?

@@fantasticvoyage262 they are all done for this year. The Flames won the 3rd game so it’s no longer eligible for this list.

@@nbrandemark Did they beat the Oilers in it? Or someone else?

@@fantasticvoyage262 They beat the Oilers 6-3 in Edmonton in February.

Just goes to show that even when the team is having a rough go, the jerseys can still be awesome!

I’m not quite sure what you mean by “Sunday Blues” since the Canadiens never wore either of their blue Reverse Retros on a Sunday, according to my data. 😬 That said, the first RR (2021) went 1-4-1 and the second (2022) went 1-6-1.

Not quite. They beat Vancouver in a shootout and went 1-4-1 overall.

See? You guys think you know me. I don’t actually hate it when it’s used right and it’s perfect on this jersey!

@@icethetics that's what the giant V on the chest actually means. Vancouver Vintage Whites

sounds like the vw obsession is on the other side of the ice these days... 😅

haha, does anyone? 😅

You like ugly gray a lot more than the rest of us.

😆

They aren't the same thing?

why would you laugh at someone for how they look? 🤨 i was mildly chuckling at the 12-3 score in a stanley cup final game.

It’s good to have a positive outlook on life. 😅

@@icethetics the new Sharks 3rds are cool!

Yikes, you have horrible taste.

😅 so what you're saying is i need to put more country music in my videos.
